Education in Karnataka

In addition, a Visvesvaraya Institute of Advanced Technology (VIAT) is being constructed in Muddenahalli.

Upon completing the required coursework, students enroll in general or professional degrees in universities through regular or lateral entry.

Currently, as part of the 2022 Karnataka Hijab Row, women and girls who wear hijab are banned from entering higher secondary institutions, which has brought accusations of repression of girls' education in the state.

The medical colleges in the state are run under the jurisdiction of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences.

Some of these baccalaureate colleges are accredited with the status of a deemed university which grants them independence in chalking out their own syllabus and awarding degrees on their own.

The state has set up a Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University at Bidar.
