Hello,

Neither "deemed" nor "autonomous" is definitely better; the ideal choice depends on individual priorities like cost, academic flexibility, and degree-awarding authority. Deemed universities offer full administrative autonomy, can award their own degrees, often have higher fees, and are associated with strong industry connections and placements, while autonomous colleges are affiliated with a government university, may have lower fees, and benefit from flexible curriculum design under their parent university's framework.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello aspirant,

Deemed-to-be universities enjoy full autonomy or independence in administration and operations, while Autonomous universities are affiliated to the government.

The main difference between a Autonomous and a deemed university is that, a deemed university is more free and flexible as compared to the Autonomous Universities. Under autonomous university, many institutes and colleges can fall, however under deemed universities, there is a single college or institution only.

Some Deemed Universities are very good. A Deemed Status is given to a university after checking its academic record. Only good universities are given a Deemed status by UGC. They are autonomous institutions that have been recognized not only by the UGC but also by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development.
