Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of National Institute of Technology Patna when civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics is the priority: it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers data analytics as well.
- Anyone who wants a second school in the same country with a similar spread of civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics can consider Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad, and it covers data analytics as well, and has almost the same size, at about 5,500 students.
- Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology Nagpur overlaps with this institution on civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, so the two are easy to compare, and it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers chemistry and materials as well.
- Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology Surat is the closest domestic counterpart for civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics; it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- In terms of fields, PEC University of Technology is the nearest neighbour, with civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics again at the core; it covers manufacturing as well, and is smaller, enrolling about 4,000 students against roughly 6,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Looking internationally, Guangdong University of Technology in China is where civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics get a comparable treatment; it covers chemical engineering and automation as well, and is far larger, with about 46,022 students against roughly 6,000 here.
- In South Korea, University of Seoul teaches much the same core subjects, civil engineering and engineering, and it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers project management as well.
- Looking internationally, Dagestan State Technical University in Russia is where civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics get a comparable treatment; it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers geotechnics and automation as well.
- For civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics outside the home country, Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Norway is a natural reference; it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- National University Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic (Ukraine) works on the same fields as this institution, chiefly civil engineering, electrical and electronics and software engineering; it is also a public institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.

*: 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 …).
