Why do I need to convert my date of birth from BS to AD for studying abroad?

All official documents issued in Nepal record dates in Bikram Sambat (BS). International universities and embassies operate exclusively on the Gregorian (AD) calendar. A precise conversion ensures zero discrepancies on visa application forms and university transcripts.

How is Bikram Sambat (BS) converted to Gregorian (AD)?

Bikram Sambat is approximately 56 years, 8 months, and 15–17 days ahead of Gregorian AD. Because Nepali month lengths vary between 29 and 32 days, an official calendar mapping is used to calculate exact dates.

What is a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and why is AD date required?

The Ministry of Education in Nepal requires an NOC for tuition bank transfers. All dates must accurately align in Gregorian AD to match foreign university admissions and visa files.

ABROAD STUDY COMPLIANCE

Why Nepali Students Need Accurate BS to AD Conversion

When applying to study abroad in popular destinations such as Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Japan, and Schengen countries, precision in dates is non-negotiable. Every document you submit—from your primary school marksheet, SLC/SEE character certificate, NEB +2 transcripts, and Bachelor degrees, to Ward-issued relationship certificates—features dates recorded in Bikram Sambat (BS).

International university admission officers, embassy visa case managers, and the Ministry of Education’s No Objection Certificate (NOC) system require standardized Anno Domini (AD) dates. Even a one-day discrepancy between your converted date of birth and your international passport can lead to university application rejections, delayed visa issuance, or complex notarization affidavits. Using an astronomical calendar algorithm ensures your application packages remain 100% compliant and audit-proof.

However, international universities, foreign embassies (Australia, UK, USA, Canada, Schengen), and your Machine Readable Passport / e-Passport exclusively operate on the Gregorian (AD) calendar. A precise conversion ensures zero discrepancies on your visa application forms and university transcripts.
