    Dear Aspirant, College is an educational institution where students are offered degree and Diploma courses for further studies. The University is not much different, but it has a wider scope than a college. It is a hub of high-level education which confers research programs along with degree and Diploma courses to its learners.

    Colleges are usually smaller in size as compared to universities. Due to their small size, colleges provide limited research options for students wanting to pursue their higher education. On the other hand, a university could be home to multiple colleges functioning on or off the campus. They are vast in size and offer a number of choices to its students. Universities also have multiple schools within their campus, such as School of Arts, School of Music, and School of Architecture among others.
