In 1971, National Education System Plan was implemented with the objectives of producing necessary, competent human r
esources of different levels in different areas to meet the country’s needs and requirements. It significantly made a great breakthrough in the legal education system. In 1972, the Institute of Law introduced a two year Certificate Level (CL) programme and a three year Diploma in Law (D.L.) In 1980-1986, Tribhuvan University underwent a massive change. Consequently, the Institute of Law was renamed as the Faculty of Law.

In 1996, Tribhuvan University, Faculty of Law, introduced after graduation a three year Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) The Proficiency Certificate in Law programme was phased out in 1995. A three year Bachelor’s Degree in Law (B.L.) programme was replaced by LL.B. In 1996, Tribhuvan University, Faculty of Law, introduced a two year Master of Laws (LL.M.)
