History of Guidance Counseling at BNKS:

Guidance Counseling informally started in 1987 when the first batch of A-level graduates started applying to the British and American Universities. Mr. Andrew Jason Wild, the then Housemaster of Gaurishanker House, can be credited for laying the foundation of guidance counseling at Budhanilkantha School. Even after the departure of Mr. Wild from Gaurishanker House, the system of Head of Gaurishanker House providing the service of a guidance counseling continued for several years.

From 1997 Mrs. H. Gurung started providing the counseling service to the girl students. After the introduction of Byasrisi House, every housemaster of the four upper senior houses became the Co-Guidance Counselors providing the service to the students of their respective houses.

In 2005, the school set up the Board of Counselors under the leadership of formal office of Guidance Counselor with the aim of making the college counseling service even more effective by centralizing it. Mrs. Chomu Dolma was officially appointed as First Guidance Counselor of the school. Mr. Atiram K.C. succeeded Mrs. Dolma in 2007.
