Bandung Institute of Technology

What Bandung Institute of Technology does

Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) is Indonesia's oldest and most established technical university, founded in 1920 as the Technische Hoogeschool te Bandoeng during the Dutch colonial era and renamed in 1959. The institution operates four campuses across Indonesia, including the main Ganesha campus in Bandung, Jatinangor, Cirebon, and Jakarta, and serves as the benchmark technical university in the country. ITB delivers undergraduate (Sarjana), graduate (Pascasarjana), professional, and international class programs across engineering, natural sciences, arts, and design disciplines, with students admitted through annual admission cycles and international partner university channels.

The institution's core technology spans research centers, laboratories, and specialized facilities including observatories, hydrographic research facilities, and material science labs, complemented by digital learning platforms (Edunex) and a digital library. ITB operates a portfolio of wholly-owned institutional units including SBM ITB (School of Business and Management), the Greater Hub startup incubator (Grade A rated nationally), DKST (Directorate for Science and Technology Area), DRI (Directorate for Research and Innovation), and 13 commercial subsidiaries managed by BPUDL (Badan Pengelola Usaha dan Dana Lestari), the entity responsible for university business and endowment fund management.

ITB's revenue model is diversified across four primary streams: tuition fees structured on income-based tiers (UKT - Uang Kuliah Tunggal), Indonesian government budget allocations (APBN), endowment fund and donation income (including IDR 6 billion from PT Adaro Energy Indonesia and IDR 1 billion from the ITB86 alumni community), and commercial business operations managed through BPUDL's 13 subsidiaries. As of 2024, 56% of ITB's funding came from non-tuition and non-government sources, reflecting institutional autonomy granted under BHMN (Badan Hukum Milik Negara) status achieved in 2002. The institution serves domestic and international students, the Indonesian government through research and policy advisory partnerships, and corporate partners through industry collaborations and startup incubation programs.
