The concept of "open" signified [[open source]] or free nature of the material obtained at the organization or entity. The purpose of an open autonomous university is to provide open education to everyone without prejudice to creed, gender or monitory/ financial requirement. Open autonomous universities enjoy the pedagogical principles founding open course ware and open source concepts to provide an autonomous expert system for learning. |

The driving force behind such an organization is that it doesn't matter if a student or group is learning from an autonomous expert system or from an expert space occupying institution, one is learning nonetheless, and ones knowledge can be metered by conventional metrics. |

The term "autonomous university'" typically refers to a university which exercises independent control over its day to day operations and curriculum.
Alternatively, the term, along with the term "autonomous open university'", can characterize an entity that provides higher education on the Internet autonomously and without human presence or involvement. This differs distinctly from a "virtual" or "open" university which is a brand extension of a physical university on the Internet. [citation needed]
