KATHMANDU, Dec 18: Students who have applied for the No Objection Certificate (NOC) since December 8 are required to re-apply.
The server of the Foreign Study Permit Branch experienced an outage at 10:30 on Thursday, causing a four-day delay in issuing NOCs.

Shantiram Poudel, the head of the Branch, reported that the server recovery process is still underway. While 75 percent of the data for students who applied before December 8 has been recovered, efforts are ongoing for the data recovery from December 8 onwards.
Poudel stated, "We have advised those who applied since December 8 to submit their applications again. We will issue the NOC after physically receiving their original documents once the data recovery is complete."
