What are the big changes after Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata became autonomous?

HIT Kolkata is a famous engineering college affiliated with MAUKAT. It has been ranked 154th in the NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020. 

According to the facts I got to know from the internet -The college became autonomous in 2012, on the recommendation of UGC by the West Bengal University of Technology (now MAUKAT). 

One of the friends who graduated from HIT in 2015 reviewed that it did not affect their batch. The students affected by the change were those who took admission in 2012 or after. It is better to ask the alumni who studied during 2012. They will be able to give a brief about the big changes that happened in the curriculum.

Overall, the autonomous status provides elasticity in the curriculum and teaching methods.
