IIMS 2.0 Inaugurated in Naxal: A New Era for Nepal’s Global Education Landscape with Taylor’s University Partnership
In a significant stride for Nepal’s higher education sector, IIMS College officially unveiled its state-of-the-art IIMS 2.0 campus in Bhagwatibahal, Naxal. The next-generation facility is designed to deliver world-class, globally aligned undergraduate programs through a robust collaboration with Taylor’s University, Malaysia, a leading institution ranked among the top 1% globally in the QS World University Rankings.
Strategic Partnership to Cultivate Global Leaders
The grand inauguration ceremony was graced by senior representatives from Taylor’s University, including Prof. Barry Winn, Vice Chancellor & President, alongside academic leaders, industry partners, students, and national media.
The partnership aims to integrate Taylor’s University’s globally recognised, AACSB-accredited business programs and high standards of academic excellence directly into the Nepali education ecosystem. This collaboration is a direct response to the need for quality, industry-integrated learning that prepares students for the global marketplace without requiring them to study abroad.
Mr. Sabindra Maharjan, CEO/Executive Chairman of IIMS Group, highlighted the campus’s significance: “IIMS 2.0 is not just a building; it is a promise to Nepal’s future. We are creating a global education ecosystem right here in Nepal, so our students can access world-class education without leaving their country.”
Prof. Barry Winn of Taylor’s University echoed this sentiment: “Our partnership with IIMS reflects a shared commitment to quality, integrity, and empowering the next generation of global leaders in Nepal.”
Modern Infrastructure for International Standards
Following a traditional welcome and the formal ribbon-cutting, guests were taken on a comprehensive guided tour of the new campus. IIMS 2.0 boasts modern infrastructure including smart classrooms, digital learning spaces, advanced labs, innovation hubs, and specialised facilities like hospitality training suites, collaboration zones, and experiential spaces such as Taylor’s Café and Aranya Boutique Hotel.
The new campus underscores IIMS College’s evolution from its founding in 2010 into a forward-looking institution. By complementing its rigorous academic programs with strong extracurricular and co-curricular activities focused on leadership and entrepreneurship, IIMS aims to position itself as a leading center for international education in South Asia.
The successful launch of IIMS 2.0 marks a pivotal moment, promising to elevate the standard of higher education and make internationally recognised degrees accessible to Nepali students right at home.
