About these figures
Constituent campuses are run by the university itself; community campuses by local community stakeholders; private campuses by private organisations. The report gives the split by type for each university, not for each campus, so campus rows carry no type.
Enrolment is the number of students the universities reported for the academic year. The report says students counted in overlapping academic cycles were left out to avoid counting anyone twice.
Graduates are those of the year 2081/082 B.S. as the report gives them; it says fellowship-programme graduates aren't included.
Teachers are those at the university's constituent campuses only, as the report counts them; teachers at affiliated community and private campuses aren't included. For the foreign-affiliated colleges the report gives one total.
Programmes are written as the report gives them, with its own abbreviations (B.B.S, B.Ed, BICTE…).
