Most Similar Schools Locally
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of telecommunications, robotics and data analytics can consider Indian Institute of Information Technology Lucknow, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers bioinformatics and computer vision as well.
- 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 slightly larger, at about 1,000 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.
- Where this institution leans on telecommunications, robotics and data analytics, Indian Institute of Information Technology Vadodara does the same, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers computer vision as well.
- A good alternative in the same country is Indian Institute of Information Technology Dharwad, which likewise covers telecommunications, robotics and data analytics; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Both schools build their programmes around telecommunications, robotics and data analytics, and Indian Institute of Information Technology Kalyani is the one to compare first within the country, since it is slightly smaller, at about 500 students against roughly 700 here, and is also a public institution.

*: 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 …).
