Public universities and colleges
Public universities are independent as government-supported public universities. Application is by annual nationwide competitive admission examination or occasionally by special direct application.
Autonomous universities
Autonomous universities have their own administrative structure and budgeting system for self-governance and full autonomy, allowing decision making on administrative and management matters to be handled by the university itself.
Rajabhat Universities
Rajabhat universities are designed to provide higher education in provinces. They were formerly called Rajabhat Institutes and originally emerged as colleges of education. Admission is by competitive direct application. Some Rajabhat Universities have several campuses.
