which is better option to join vtu or autonomous 2022
Hello!
Hope you are doing well.
Autonomous colleges are colleges that are affiliated to some university (most colleges are affiliated to VTU) but form their own syllabus and conduct their own exam. The degree however is still awarded by VTU. Most other colleges follow the VTU syllabus and exam. There are a few other colleges as well who are affiliated to their own University.
Both VTU and autonomous colleges have their advantages and disadvantages.
Pros of VTU:
- Good enough syllabus to keep students engaged.
- If you performed well in the examination, you will get the satisfaction of knowing that you faced better competition and stricter standards because there are a lot of students studying under VTU.
- VTU has also made it compulsory to gain extra curricular points by doing activities like teaching in government schools, cleaning an area or public space etc. This will give you a good experience about NGO works.
- VTU is an established University so getting a degree from here will hold its value.
Cons of VTU:
- Horrible evaluation in exams. A huge number of students apply for revaluation every year.
- Syllabus is usually outdated. The demands of the industry change rapidly but it takes time to implement that in the university syllabus.
With autonomous Colleges, students generally do not fail. It's bad for business so everyone gets a good score. This however means you have lesser chances of standing out in the crowd. But a great option to students who are not very serious about studies. Syllabus can easily be updated according to industry demands because it only has to be updated on college level and not on University level.
Placements after the degree largely depends on individual colleges.
So which one is better for you depends on your personal preferences. My suggestion would be to go with VTU.
Hope this helps. All the best!
