What is VTU? The full form of VTU is Visvesvaraya Technological University

Having established a 24 year tradition of distinction in engineering and technical education, research, and innovation, VTU is one of the biggest technological universities in India. 

It was established in 1998 to meet the need of Indian businesses for skilled technical laborers possessing solid theoretical knowledge and real-world experience.

There are now 25 autonomous colleges, 1 constituent college, and 182 associated colleges in the university. Students attend classes at the university's associated institutions.
