In 1978, with the joint investment of the Nepali Army (then the Royal Nepalese Army) and Tribhuvan University, Suping Army Campus was established at Suping, Bhimphedi of Makawanpur district. With its foundation, the campus conducted classes for the intermediate level in the faculty of humanities and social science. Later, in 1981, it began classes in the faculty of science as well.[1] The Suping Army Campus was established during the tenure of General Singha Pratap Shah, then Chief of Army Staff (COAS).
In 1986, the campus was relocated to Sallaghari, Bhaktapur, where it was renamed Birendra Sainik Awasiya Mahavidyalaya after King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah. Since then, the funding of the school has been looked after by Nepal Army Welfare Fund.
