Most Similar Schools Locally
- Indian Institute of Technology Patna takes a similar route through materials, AI and machine learning and software engineering, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers telecommunications and mechanical engineering as well.
- Indian Institute of Technology Ropar works in much the same fields, chiefly manufacturing, AI and machine learning and software engineering, and it covers bioengineering and mechanical engineering as well, and has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students.
- A good alternative in the same country is Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, which likewise covers ecology and sustainability, materials and AI and machine learning; it has almost the same size, at about 2,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- For students who like the geotechnics, materials and AI and machine learning focus of this institution but want another option nearby, Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi fits well: it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers bioengineering and life sciences as well.
- Where this school leans on geotechnics, materials and AI and machine learning, Indian Institute of Technology Dhanbad (IIT ) does the same, and it also offers mba programmes, and is far larger, with about 8,000 students against roughly 2,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For a study option in the United States with a comparable spread of geotechnics, ecology and sustainability and materials, Colorado School of Mines is the reference point: it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in the United States, where geotechnics, ecology and sustainability and materials also form the core, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers astroscience and physics as well.
- North-Eastern Federal University in Russia pursues a similar profile in geotechnics, ecology and sustainability and materials, and it is far larger, with about 16,000 students against roughly 2,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- Seen from abroad, Escuela de Ingeniería de Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) is a close relative on subject matter, since geotechnics, manufacturing and materials are central to both, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- In Russia, Ural Federal University teaches much the same core subjects, materials, software engineering and engineering, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral, and covers chemistry and physics 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 …).
