In India so many colleges called autonomous or autonomy that means they are not under of any universities. May be they are under by UGC, AICTE, NAAC but not under any universities. They are own boss. Like above this name are main helper of education like government affiliated or rank related organization which are constitute by Indian government.
Like all most all medical colleges are autonomy. Like they are own boss. Only under MCI i.e. medical council of India. Same pharmacy college under only PCI i.e. pharmacy council of India if they are autonomy.
