is it right to join vtu afflicted colleges

Hello Pratham,

VTU COLLEGES

VTU colleges(primarily located in Karnataka) are those colleges that are affiliated with Visveswaraya Technological University. The timetables, rules and regulations, fee structure, syllabus, setting of exam papers, evaluation of exam papers, etc. will be decided by VTU and the college that come under VTU must follow those rules.

Advantages of joining VTU-affiliated colleges:

• Since, the exam papers are set by VTU itself, the papers are unpredictable and hence, you have to study more in-depth. By the end, you will have a good knowledge of many things.

Disadvantages of joining VTU Colleges:

• The syllabus taught here is outdated.
• More weightage is given to theoretical knowledge rather than practical.
• Exam papers are set and evaluated by VTU. According to VTU students, the evaluation of papers is done horribly.
• CGPA of VTU students is comparatively lower as compared to the students of autonomous colleges.

AUTONOMOUS COLLEGES

Autonomous colleges are those colleges that have their own rules and regulations, fee structure, syllabus, timetable, setting, and evaluation of exam papers, etc. There are many such colleges that have gained autonomy and are also affiliated with VTU.

Advantages of joining autonomous colleges:

• The syllabus taught here will be the latest one. It will also help in cracking competitive exams like GATE.
• The question paper and the evaluation will be done by the college itself. This will help in increasing the CGPA as your teachers would be correcting your answer sheets. Since the question paper would be set by your teacher, you will have an idea about the questions that can be expected in examinations.
• If you have any backlogs, you will be given a chance to give the exam once again.

Disadvantages of joining autonomous colleges:

• Rules over here are strict. Attendance is mandatory.

I have listed the major advantages and disadvantages of VTU colleges and Autonomous Colleges in this answer. In my opinion, joining an autonomous college is better. However, everybody has their own opinion. So, it's up to you to decide which one is the better option.

Hope this will give you some clarity.
