Most Similar Schools Locally

  • Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy is the closest domestic counterpart for geotechnics, chemistry and AI and machine learning; it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
  • Also strong in geotechnics, AI and machine learning and software engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Dhanbad (IIT ) makes a sensible second look at home; it covers materials as well, and is far larger, with about 8,000 students against roughly 1,000 here.
  • For students who like the geotechnics, chemistry and AI and machine learning focus of this school but want another option nearby, National Institute of Technology Raipur fits well: it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
  • In terms of fields, Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati is the nearest neighbour, with chemistry, AI and machine learning and software engineering again at the core; it is slightly larger, at about 1,200 students against roughly 1,000 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Also strong in AI and machine learning, software engineering and engineering, Indian Institute of Information Technology Gwalior makes a sensible second look at home; it covers project management and telecommunications as well, and is larger, enrolling about 1,500 students against roughly 1,000 here.

Most Similar Schools Abroad

  • Abroad, University of Oklahoma (the United States) covers geotechnics, AI and machine learning and software engineering in a comparable way, and it is far larger, with about 32,000 students against roughly 1,000 here, and is also a public institution.
  • Looking internationally, Buenos Aires Institute of Technology in Argentina is where AI and machine learning, software engineering and engineering get a comparable treatment; it is private, whereas this school is public, and runs the same bachelor's, master's, doctoral and mba programmes.
  • For geotechnics, AI and machine learning and software engineering outside the home country, University of Texas at Austin in the United States is a natural reference; it covers telecommunications and life sciences as well, and is far larger, with about 52,400 students against roughly 1,000 here.
  • Students considering a move abroad can look at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea, where AI and machine learning and engineering also form the core, and it covers physics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 900 students.
  • The closest overseas parallel on geotechnics, chemistry and AI and machine learning is Escola Politécnica Superior de Enxeñaría, located in Spain; it is larger, enrolling about 2,000 students against roughly 1,000 here, and is also a public institution.

*our own picks (our criteria: a mix between domains, diploma delivered, reputation and size), but obviously too many criteria for an apple-to-apple ranking.

*: without any judgment of the quality, readers are strongly encouraged to check the official status of the exact diploma envisioned as many universities have a mix of recognized diplomas, not recognized, “co-delivered,” “equivalent to”,  “some pathways” (…), can change over time, and can be named differently from one country to another.

 

**: international reputation: is based on some criteria that do not mean much in some domains or specialties (number of researchers, of scientific publications, on budget ….). Our approximate 1-4 scale: 

  1. known locally
  2. known locally and internationally
  3. is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
  4. is listed among the 20 firsts in some of world university’s classifications

***: estimated numbers, based on online sources and/or feedbacks. The numbers can vary greatly depending on school organisation (ex.: school is part of a group, it employs internal staff or external consultants or has public staff without employing them …).
