What Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember does

Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is a public technology university (Perguruan Tinggi Negeri) founded in 1957 in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, operating under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendiktisaintek). It offers undergraduate, postgraduate (Magister, Doktor), and professional certification programs (Profesi Insinyur, Profesi Arsitek) across 9 faculties and 1 school covering engineering, science, data analytics, medicine, design, and business. ITS is ranked #497 globally and #97 in Asia Pacific in QS World University Rankings 2027 (up from #509), and has been recognized by UNESCO-ICHEI for intelligent learning and smart campus innovation. The institution maintains three Surabaya campuses (Sukolilo, Manyar, Cokroaminoto) and serves domestic students through Indonesia's national selection systems (SNBP, SNBT, SMITS) as well as international students through the International Undergraduate Program (IUP).

ITS operates a comprehensive digital ecosystem anchored by the myITS Portal single sign-on gateway, which integrates myITS Classroom (LMS), myITS Presensi (attendance), myITS Wali (parent monitoring), myITS Servicedesk (IT support), and SI Akademik (academic information system). The November 2025 launch of the ITS Command Center with ISO 27001 certification extended this digital infrastructure. The university's research enterprise comprises 1,118 researchers across 265 research units producing 20,982 research outputs and proprietary technologies including Benwit RON 90 bio-gasoline from palm oil, aluminum-to-hydrogen energy systems, and ANN-GA hybrid optimization frameworks for water treatment.

ITS generates revenue through multiple streams: government block funding via PNBP mechanisms, tuition and academic fees (subsidized for domestic students), research grants from Kemendiktisaintek, professional cooperation revenue via the Directorate of Cooperation and Business Management (DKPU) with government agencies and SOEs, endowment income managed through the Danaabadi platform (Rp 127.47 billion from 929 donors), and business unit operations including ITS Retail & Services, ITS Property, ITS Medical Center, and ITS Press. Distribution occurs through national selection systems for admissions, on-campus delivery across three Surabaya campuses, digital self-service via myITS, and MoU-based engagements with industry and government partners for cooperation projects.
