Most Similar Schools Locally
- Indian Institute of Information Technology Dharwad follows much the same lines as this school, with telecommunications, robotics and electrical and electronics as common ground, and it is far smaller, with about 700 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Among national alternatives, Indian Institute of Information Technology Nagpur stands out for its focus on telecommunications, robotics and electrical and electronics, and it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers computer vision as well.
- Where this school leans on telecommunications, robotics and electrical and electronics, Indian Institute of Information Technology Pune does the same, and it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers computer vision as well.
- Where this school leans on telecommunications, robotics and electrical and electronics, Indian Institute of Information Technology Tiruchirappalli does the same, and it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- Both schools build their programmes around telecommunications, robotics and data analytics, and Indian Institute of Information Technology Sri City is the one to compare first within the country, since it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenierías Informática y de Telecomunicación brings a Spain setting to the same core fields, telecommunications, robotics and electrical and electronics, and it covers signal processing and computer vision as well, and is slightly larger, at about 4,000 students against roughly 3,000 here.
- For a study option in China with a comparable spread of robotics, electrical and electronics and data analytics, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen is the reference point: it runs the same bachelor's, master's, doctoral and mba programmes, and covers finance and life sciences as well.
- IT University of Copenhagen, in Denmark, takes a similar route through telecommunications, data analytics and AI and machine learning; it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- For telecommunications, robotics and data analytics outside the home country, Innopolis University in Russia is a natural reference; it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers signal processing and computer vision as well.
- Buenos Aires Institute of Technology, based in Argentina, is built around telecommunications, robotics and data analytics much like this school, and it is private, whereas this school is public, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's, doctoral and mba.

*: 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:
- known locally
- known locally and internationally
- is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
- 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 …).
