Hello!

Hope you're doing well.

Autonomous colleges are colleges that are affiliated to some university (most colleges are affiliated to VTU although some are affiliated to their own or some different university) but form their own syllabus and conduct their own exam. An autonomous college will have the freedom to decide on its own curriculum, syllabus, teaching methodology, textbooks, assessment methods, etc.

But there are also some autonomous colleges that follow the same syllabus and exam pattern as that of VTU.

So it depends on the college.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Hey Pratham,

Autonomous colleges are colleges that are affiliated to some university but form their own syllabus and conduct their exam. The degree however is still awarded by VTU. Most other colleges follow the syllabus and exam.
