LBEF launches MBA in AI, Digital Leadership

Kathmandu, Aug. 7

Lord Buddha Education Foundation (LBEF) has launched an MBA in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Leadership. The two new courses have been introduced in response to the rapid advancement of AI and information technology, as well as growing market demand, said the college.

LBEF Chairman Engineer Pankaj Jalan said the MBA in AI and Digital Leadership programmes have been approved by Nepal's Ministry of Education and are affiliated with the Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU). The programmes also carry equivalency recognition from Tribhuvan University. The Foundation has partnered with DLA Consulting to deliver the two programmes.

Jalan said at the programme launch on Wednesday evening that AI is no longer merely a technology of the future but has become an essential tool across banking, business, management, data analysis, report preparation and routine office operations.

The Foundation also announced plans to establish a dedicated on-site AI server laboratory. It is in the process of importing AI servers into Nepal.

With access to the Foundation's own AI servers, students will be able to conduct experiments, testing and practical learning, enabling them to move beyond textbooks and online videos to gain direct experience with AI technologies.

Likewise, DLA Consulting Founder and Chairman Suman Neupane said that the LBEF is introducing the programmes by bringing an internationally recognised AI curriculum to Nepal.
