Autonomous colleges Autonomy, as granted by the University Grants Commission, in concurrence with the Government of Karnataka, has been conferred upon selected colleges, which grants upon them, certain special privileges.

Autonomous colleges can frame their own schemes of study, curricula and evaluation, without need of the approval of the university. These colleges also have the freedom to conduct add on courses and supplementary semesters for students who may be in need of it. They also have the freedom to avail grants from funding agencies. All of these privileges are not granted to non-autonomous colleges.

Autonomy is granted in order to obtain better placements for students, to have better college-industry interaction, and also to enable colleges to continuously update and modernize the curriculum.
