In Nepal researches done in academics and non-academic or sponsored researchers have no impact and utility. It is because whatever works are done in the name of research are in fact no research works at all. They are simply studies at the whims and discretion of the so-called researchers. So, mostly those studies are of no or little use or relevance to  the nation’s problem. Most of the research reports or thesis submitted have been simply written documents in whatever results the researchers found in their studies.

Most of the research reports or thesis are manipulated works of some previous work or copying from old works or plagiarism.

Mostly modified revision works are rampart here and nobody checks those ills but rather accepts them as they are. No one questions the authenticity and correctness of those works. Most workers do not know what  the research problem is and how to find out the real research problem.

The student researcher does this or that works as per the order of the guide for 4/5 years and then at the end the thesis is produced at the behest of the guide. Thus, academic and sponsored research in Nepal are just big bound report documents of no importance and the degrees conferred on the works are of no real value or use in the true sense.

Thus research in Nepal, either academic or sponsored, have no utility and impact. In Nepal the general public impression about a Ph.D. degree is that it is very cheap and degraded as a simple written document called thesis submission after 4/5 years of registration in the university under a guide professor who allows the student candidate to do some works of his own whims and dissertation and who after being pleased with the candidate asks him to type  and submit a thesis which will be sent for examination to examiners belonging to his own gang of vicious circle members and foreign professors who are manipulated and asked to report positively as acceptable thesis recommending to award the Ph.D. degree.

Students in Nepal are encouraged to register for Ph.D. taking full pay study leave for three years becoming free from regular teaching works in his campus.

Thus, in Nepal research has been an easy way of earning money from the research grant given to the researcher.
