The total facial index exhibits sexual differences and different shapes of face. Facial anthropometry has its well known implications for Forensic scientists, Anatomists, Human Biologists, Criminologists and Physical Antrhopologists. Facial index is the ratio of the morphological facial height to facial width and multiplied by 100. The present study aimed to examine the facial length, facial width, facial index and the facial type in Nepalese population. This study was conducted on 300 Medical, Dental and Human Biology students of Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences, Dhulikhel, Nepal. Of the total 300 students 150 students were male and 150 students were female between the age group 18-25 years. The study has been approved by the Institutional review committee of Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences, Dhulikhel, Nepal. The study results shows that the mean facial index of Nepalese students were 87.01%. The mean facial index of Nepalese male was found to be 87.20% and female was found to be 86.81% respectively. The minimum facial index was 71.72% and maximum facial index was 124.59%. The minimum facial index for male was found to be 74.10% and maximum facial index for male was found to be 124.59% respectively. The minimum facial index of female was 71.72% and maximum facial index of female was 98.26% respectively. The dominant facial type of Nepalese population was Mesoproscopic and least common was hyperleptoproscopic. The dominant facial type of male was Euriproscopic and the dominant type of female face was Mesoproscopic. The rare type of face was hyperleptoproscopic.Key words: Facial index, Facial height, Facial width, Anthropometry, Mesoproscopic, Euriproscopic
