MONGOLIA'S ONLY MAJOR UNIVERSITY OUTSIDE ULAANBAATAR (Khovd is in far western Mongolia). Founded 1979 as Khovd Pedagogical Institute. Full university 2010. ~3,000+ students. Critical for Mongolia's vast geography — students from western aimags (Bayan-Ölgii ethnic Kazakh + Khovd + Uvs + Zavkhan + Gobi-Altai) can study regionally rather than relocate to Ulaanbaatar. Includes Kazakh-language programmes for Bayan-Ölgii Kazakh ethnic minority (~4% of Mongolia).
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to

Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
