baburd at ioe dot edu dot np || baburd at gmail dot com I prefer your SMS/E-Mail rather a Phone Call which may distrub the works for yourself and myself both.
Visit time with BE/MSc/PhD students for Project/Research progress review: Every Monday 13:15 NPT onwards, @LICT LAB. Student can contact directly, if he/she wants guided project/reserach with my given project/research topic that may include possible funding.
Recommendation Policy: Generally, I prefer highly Disciplined/Dedicated/Determined students having adademic performance of about 75% or above (Equiv. Grade B+) in their bachelor degree for study aboroad or Job application in the industry.
Transparancy is the most important policy >> please, only write E-mail to Me to maintain transpancy in our associated activities.
