Dillagi,

              my understanding is academic ref. is just a formality of Grad School (until you are applying for scholarship ). it is always nice to submit Reco from renowned professors. As you mention above you even don't know lectures name, in this situation write a reference letters and ask your friend/family to contact the FSU(student union leaders in your former campus), print that  letter in original letter pad and get the signature and stamp from  department head and  slightly modify that letter's content and get signature from campus chief  ( you can make more). For Student Union leaders it's not a big deal.

good luck

second life is right. its not a big deal and they never gonna contact them as well. so make a fake one with nepelese address and telephone number or just ask to provide one from ur previous university or even high school. i did the same thing and its only formality. trust me.. so don think too much on that but rather think about other issues u need in order to survive at the area where the university is. cause u need to make money as well dude. MSC- finance and accounting looks funny. best of luck..

Visit one of the consultancies in Putalisadak. Actually CCNPL in New Baneshwor height is more respectable. They will point you in the right direction, method wise.

Yeah letter of recommendation (LOR) is just a formality to get you through a admission process but I wouldn't go this far making a fake reference letters.  MRITYUNJAYA how could you say they are never going to contact the referees?  I had many friends applying for grad school whose referees were directly contacted through email/phone by their major professor to inquire about them.  Dillagi prepare your resume and you can always request any professor (related to your major) if not the ones who you had for your Bacherlor's degree at TU.... they won't turn you down for such a good cause.  If you provide your referees with your resume it helps them a lot to write about you and yes don't be hesitant to inflate your resume little bit. LOL.  Good luck with your application. :)

Secondlife :  Thanks for the info. I will be doing same as u advise.

MRITYUNJAYA : Your idea was same as secondlife. Nevertheless, sorry to say i will not be involving in malpractice. I will ask my relatives in Nepal to get in touch with my teacher. Could you please tell me why MSC Finance sounds funny?? I presume its a more employable than other business degree as i have a 5 yrs of banking / finance experience. Any constructive comment why this sound hilarious???

Axerio and Geico thanks for the comment.
