ITK started collaborating with Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology. with the latter also providing ITK’s first campuses.[2][6] Despite that, ITK had already started accepting students in 2012, with 100 students from East Kalimantan exclusively as its first-year batch.
Originally, only five majors were available to the students: electrical engineering, machine engineering, naval engineering, chemical engineering, and civil engineering. By 2013, the number of majors available increased, and ITK started accepting students from outside East Kalimantan.[2][7]
In 2014, ITK officially became a public university, and, by 2015, ITK started operating from its Balikpapan campus.[2][8]
