Most Similar Schools Locally
- Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad takes a similar route through robotics, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, and it is larger, enrolling about 800 students against roughly 500 here, and is also a public institution.
- The comparison with Indian Institute of Technology Palakkad is straightforward on subjects, since both focus on mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and AI and machine learning, and it is larger, enrolling about 1,000 students against roughly 500 here, and is also a public institution.
- Both schools build their programmes around mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and AI and machine learning, and Indian Institute of Technology Jammu is the one to compare first within the country, since it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers civil engineering and materials as well.
- Also strong in mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and AI and machine learning, National Institute of Technology Puducherry makes a sensible second look at home; it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and covers civil engineering and data analytics as well.
- A good alternative in the same country is Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai, which likewise covers mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and AI and machine learning; it covers materials and data analytics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 600 students against roughly 500 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on robotics, AI and machine learning and engineering is Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea, and it runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes, and is larger, enrolling about 1,400 students against roughly 500 here.
- Norwegian University of Science and Technology brings a Norway setting to the same core fields, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and AI and machine learning, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- On content, Orona Ideo Innovation City in Spain and this institution are close, as both teach robotics, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics; it covers automation and manufacturing as well, and has almost the same size, at about 500 students.
- Students considering a move abroad can look at Military Institute of Engineering in Brazil, where mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and engineering also form the core, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- If this institution is on your list for mathematics, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, Royal Military College of Canada in Canada deserves a comparison, because it covers military and aerospace as well, and is far larger, with about 1,500 students against roughly 500 here.
*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 …).
