MBA – Evening Shift

Extended-duration MBA program designed for working professionals who want to gain a postgraduate management degree while continuing employment. Delivery, pacing, and workload are structured around evening classes across eight trimesters.

The MBA–Evening Shift under Pokhara University provides a flexible yet rigorous management education to learners who need to balance work and study. The curriculum mirrors the regular MBA program but is spread over 32 months (8 trimesters), preventing overload for working participants. 

The program builds strategic thinking, managerial competence, analytical skills, leadership capacity, and an integrated understanding of the economic, social, cultural, technological, and political dimensions of business. Assessment structure, examinations, and degree awarded are identical to the regular MBA.
