So, development and monitoring of universities is in the mandate of a state government. In view of improving the quality of technical education in Karnataka, the Karnataka State government passed the ''VTU Act'' in 1994 which led to formation of VTU and its dedication to technical education. VTU’s mandate is defined as :〔(Vision - Mission - Mandate )〕 * Promote planned and sustainable development of technical education consistent with state and national policies * Design need based programs that ensure adequate human resource of the right kind * Establish objective evaluation and certification systems for students programs and institutions * Collaborate with national and international institutions, R&D establishments, organizations like AICTE, MHRD, UGC, industry and user agencies The ''VTU Act'' vested authority to VTU as the sole affiliating university for technical education in the state. All the existing colleges in the state that offered technical programs, mostly affiliated to regional state universities, were obligated to shift affiliation to VTU. Notable exceptions to the ''VTU Act'' include, but are not limited to University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (Affiliated to Bangalore University), National Institute of Technology Surathkal, and Manipal Institute of Technology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Visvesvaraya Technological University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
