Source note: The curriculum scope above is retained from the existing TU syllabus breakdown. The numbered study subtopics are editorial elaborations for teaching and study, rather than a separately issued TU syllabus. Unit or component allocations apply at their stated level; no separate topic hours or marks are assigned here. Nepalese current-status discussions should identify the reporting period and use dated official publications, such as Nepal Rastra Bank reports, rather than undated figures.
