Direct peers

• IIT Guwahati: Premier IIT located in the same city as IIITG. Competes for the same JEE-qualified students in the Northeast and offers CSE, ECE, and AI-related programs at a much larger scale. Most relevant local peer for talent and recruiter competition.
• NIT Rourkela: Premier NIT where IIITG's director previously served as ECE professor. Direct peer as an Institution of National Importance offering CSE and ECE programs, with similar admissions through JoSAA and comparable placement scale.
• IIIT Delhi: State-funded IIIT offering CSE, ECE, and AI/ML programs. Comparable as a peer IIIT with strong research output, modern curriculum, and proximity to a major tech hiring market (NCR).
• IIIT Allahabad: One of the founding IIITs under the IIIT Act, offering B.Tech/M.Tech in CSE, ECE, and IT. Directly comparable as a peer IIIT with similar PPP governance, centralized JEE-based admissions, and a focus on information technology education.
• IIIT Hyderabad: Premier IIIT and a benchmark for IIIT-system quality, with strong CSE/ECE programs and research focus. Closest direct peer by mission, though operates on a not-for-profit society model rather than PPP.
• IIIT Lucknow: PPP IIIT offering B.Tech in CSE, ECE, and IT. Direct peer under the same IIIT PPP Act 2017 governance framework, sharing admissions through JoSAA counseling and similar fee structures.
• IIIT Bangalore: Not-for-profit IIIT focused on IT and computer science postgraduate education. Comparable as a peer IIIT with strong industry engagement and a research-oriented curriculum in CSE-adjacent areas.
• IIIT Vadodara: PPP IIIT where IIITG's current director previously led for 6 years. Direct peer offering CSE and ECE programs under the same statutory and admission framework, with comparable scale and curriculum.
