The duration of the program varies depending on the program, but for some UG programs, students study 2 years at VTU or its affiliated/autonomous colleges, and for PG programs, it might be 1+1 or an integrated 3+1+1 program where the students join for a UG program and come out with a PG program. In some cases, dual degrees are also given, with one certificate from VTU and the other from our partner university.

Language of instruction is always in English, but in certain cases, such as studying in Germany or any other country where a different language is required for job opportunities, the language is taught here at VTU before the students go to the foreign destination.
