Most Similar Schools Locally
- National Institute of Technology Agartala overlaps with this school on civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, so the two are easy to compare, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
- In terms of fields, National Institute of Technology Patna is the nearest neighbour, with civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics again at the core; it has almost the same size, at about 4,000 students, and is also a public institution.
- Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad follows much the same lines as this institution, with civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics as common ground, and it also offers mba programmes, and is slightly larger, at about 5,500 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- Where this school leans on civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering does the same, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- A good alternative in the same country is National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra, which likewise covers civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For a study option in Austria with a comparable spread of civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, TU Wien is the reference point: it covers chemistry and physics as well, and is far larger, with about 26,654 students against roughly 4,000 here.
- Seen from abroad, LUT University (Finland) is a close relative on subject matter, since mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and data analytics are central to both, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Looking internationally, Technical University of Denmark in Denmark is where civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics get a comparable treatment; it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- Chernihiv Polytechnic National University brings a Ukraine setting to the same core fields, civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, and it is also a public institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and doctoral.
- If this school is on your list for mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and data analytics, University of Agder in Norway deserves a comparison, because it covers robotics and automation as well, and is far larger, with about 13,000 students against roughly 4,000 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 …).
