Why Nepalese IT Colleges Are Failing Us | Future of Work | Student Series

Are Nepalese IT colleges actually preparing students for the real world, or are they just factory lines for migration? In this candid conversation, CSIT students open up about the brutal realities of studying computer science in Nepal. From using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to bypass homework, to the unexpected addiction of maintaining a GitHub streak over Snapchat, they share how they actually navigate their daily academic lives. They also dive deep into the massive disconnect between what parents see on Facebook (the Balen Shah internship hype) and the actual struggle of finding a tech job in Kathmandu. Finally, they address the elephant in the room: why childhood patriotism fades when faced with political instability, delayed exams, and a broken education system and why so many feel forced to leave for the USA. 00:00 The GitHub Blindspot in Nepali IT Colleges 01:10 The Dopamine of GitHub Streaks vs Snapchat 01:36 How CSIT Students Actually Use AI 02:30 Using ChatGPT for Family Homework & Local Realities 03:58 The 'ER' Myth: CS vs Engineering 04:50 Career Confusion: Finding Your Tech Niche 05:24 Why Nepal Needs "Cool" IT Professors 05:50 The Dream of Launching a Startup in Nepal 06:07 The Balen Shah Facebook Effect vs Reality of Jobs 07:19 Passion Over Coding: Video Editing & Singing 08:49 The Patriotism Trap: Why 60% of My Friends Left for the US 09:30 Political Instability and the Broken Education System Connect with us: Instagram:   / thestudyportnepal   TikTok:   / thestudyportnepal
