History

Kathmandu Jaycees first launched Miss Teen Nepal in 2002, and it has been held annually since then. The pageant, now known as JCI Miss Teen Nepal, is organized by Kathmandu Jaycees and is considered the second-largest beauty pageant in Nepal. Over the years, the competition has successfully completed 18 editions.

The pageant focuses on talented, intelligent, and confident young girls who wish to participate. A total of 24 to 25 participants are selected as finalists. Once selected, the finalists undergo grooming and training for 22–24 days before the Grand Finale. These training sessions provide contestants with valuable opportunities to develop their personalities, improve public speaking, and interact with prominent figures from various fields. Past Miss Nepal and Miss Teen winners also share their experiences, while a variety of outdoor activities are organized for the contestants' refreshment, entertainment, and learning. The pageant is broadcast live on Image Television.

To compete in Miss Teen Nepal, applicants must be between 16 and 18 years old, though the age limit was extended to 19 in 2006. In 2007, a controversy arose between Khusbu Oli and her successor, Ayusha Karki. Ayusha had participated in another pageant, World Miss University 2007, less than a month after winning Miss Teen Nepal, where she won the crown, and Khusbu ended up as the first runner-up. This situation led to the dispute.
