Hello Kiran,

Studying under a university:-
There are certain advantages of studying under a university with lot of college affiliated to it because of these reason:-

1. You get to interact with lot of student outside your college, and this expands your horizon.
2. You have to compete with people not only in your college but at a university level, so a slightly bigger playground to play with.
3. The teachers are more serious about teaching you, because if a particular college performance in one subject is bad the teacher is generally questioned.
4. You can have disagreement with your teachers, knowing in advance that he will only control your internals and not external papers.
   

The disadvantages being

1. You have to go through lot of paper work for simple mistakes from university end, and some time travel to far off place if your college and university is not in the same city.
2. Modification of syllabus is very slow, as lot of colleges have to be considered and a lot of bureaucracy/Red Tape is involved.
3. The exam paper which may come might have question which was not in you syllabus, and the process of appeal is a lengthy one.
   

Studying in a Deemed University/Autonomous College:-
The advantages being:-

1. You only have to study whatever your teacher taught you in class, because he is only going to frame the question paper, and if you are attentive enough in the class you can even trim down your study topics/Syllabus.
2. The Syllabus can be updated very easily on the basis of industry needs as the Red Tape is little less here.
3. Your competition is fairly restricted to people in your class.
4. Not much of travel for clerical work related to university etc.
5. You can explore your subject more, as lot of time if you are attentive in class you do not have to go through it again and you can invest your extra time in learning something new.
   

The prior disadvantages:-

1. You teacher might become complacent knowing in advance that they will only frame the question paper at the end of semester, but this can be easily avoided though.
2. The student may also become complacent and will not take the benefit of the extra time which they save.

So basically both have its own pros and cons so as a closing thought i will just say a carpenter is as good as he uses is tools, so you have to decide how you utilize yours.
