Most Similar Schools Locally
- Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing Kurnool takes a similar route through industrial design, robotics and manufacturing, and it is smaller, enrolling about 800 students against roughly 1,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of industrial design, robotics and manufacturing can consider Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing Jabalpur, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers automation as well.
- Both schools build their programmes around robotics, mechanical engineering and data analytics, and Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad is the one to compare first within the country, since it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers electrical and electronics and engineering as well.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of robotics, data analytics and AI and machine learning can consider Indian Institute of Information Technology Gwalior, and it covers project management and telecommunications as well, and has almost the same size, at about 1,500 students.
- Also strong in robotics, data analytics and AI and machine learning, Indian Institute of Information Technology Nagpur makes a sensible second look at home; it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers computer vision and telecommunications as well.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Seen from abroad, Escuela de Ingenierías Industrial, Informática y Aeroespacial (Spain) is a close relative on subject matter, since robotics, manufacturing and mechanical engineering are central to both, and it is larger, enrolling about 2,500 students against roughly 1,500 here, and is also a public institution.
- For a study option in Spain with a comparable spread of industrial design, robotics and manufacturing, Universidad de Deusto - Facultad de Ingeniería is the reference point: it covers bioengineering and automation as well, and is slightly larger, at about 2,000 students against roughly 1,500 here.
- Beyond national borders, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology stands out as a comparable school for robotics and AI and machine learning; it covers engineering as well, and has almost the same size, at about 1,400 students.
- IT University of Copenhagen in Denmark shares the data analytics, AI and machine learning and software engineering orientation of this institution, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- LUT University, based in Finland, is built around industrial design, mechanical engineering and data analytics much like this school, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers chemistry and ecology and sustainability as well.
*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:
- 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 …).
