College is generally more vocational, while University is academic. You go to University to get a professional degree, a Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate, but it's technically more research-oriented while you go to college to get work qualifications in a specific field. The vocational qualifications can run a little parallel to the academic ones typically up to or just below a Bachelors - eg some electrical qualifications can go towards or are equivalent to a regular degree.

My limited understanding is that a College has an affiliation with a University(which also accepts students directly and is often more prestigious than a college) to enroll students and take exams
I'm still new to it myself and haven't done much research
Universities are composed of colleges.
Colleges specialize in specific areas of study.
For example: college of education, college of music, etc.
Nope, those are called faculties here.
