The modern higher education in Nepal started with the establishment of Tri Chandra college in 1918 affiliated to Patna University of India. At that time, the curriculum, examination system and even the teacher used to manage from India (Bhattrai, 2014). After the 40 years of establishment of college, Nepal’s first University Tribhuvan University (TU) was established. Nepal brought about the multi-university concept in 1983 (Baral, 2007). After 27 years of the initiation of the first university, we found the second University Nepal Sanskrit University and five year later Kathmandu University was established in 1991. This article aims to established the necessities of university in Nepal through the thematic review and comparison between population of youth and number of universities in different countries. In the case of 2020, with 2,551019 youth populations first we have to decide what kind of universities we need. If we decided, to make our universities as like world ranking universities (in terms of number of students) we need 161 universities in 2020. This means now we have 9 universities so we have to manage more 152 new universities. If we decided, to managed in the references of south Asian standard the we need 19 universities in 2020. Again the average students of our universities are 50,855. So in this basis we need 50 universities in 2020 means we need 41 new universities. But if we want to manage to all population we would need 246 in world ranking references, 28 in SAARC references and 77 in Nepali references. However we have to think to adjust different issues and challenges.
