Are Gujarat University and Gujarat Technological University two different universities?

After doing some research online regarding your question, I found out about both the institutes. Let me share the facts I got to know about them.

Gujarat Technological University - 

• Gujarat Technological University situated in Ahmedabad came into existence in 2007. 
• The university has 486 colleges affiliated with it and it provides courses in the field of Science and Commerce. 
• It is headed by the state government. 
• You can look for management, pharmacy, and engineering courses in the college for graduation and post-graduation. 

Gujarat University -

• It is also located in Ahmedabad and is headed by the state government. 
• The grounds that it differs from GTU are the courses it has to offer. 
• It has courses related to Arts, Science, Commerce stream and lacks any engineering courses. 

If we look at the placement factor, then surely GTU has better prospects than GU. The highest package offered was 3.45 LPA in 2020 in GTU.

Choose the one that suits you and fulfills your requirements. Ultimately it is your decision that matters.
