Auxiliary product lines include IT Academy TUSUR, Digital Departments, and the Advanced Engineering School ranked in the Russian Top-15. Proprietary technology assets include the TALGAT radio-electronics modeling system, UAV-based multispectral image classification algorithms using machine learning, near-field multi-receiver microwave radiometers for medical applications, and ElectroLIT Compact-1, a microelectronics coating production platform in development.

The university's revenue model combines federal budget allocations, contract-based tuition with full cost recovery, research and innovation contracts (reported at 70% of budget), continuing professional education fees, and royalties/equity from 210 small innovative enterprises within the UNIK infrastructure that have produced 80 high-tech products for the Tomsk region. Distribution is direct (centralized Russian admission via Gosuslugi and regional selection points) supplemented by international recruitment through the Russian-African Network University consortium and a self-serve distance learning platform. Customer segments span domestic and international students, high-tech enterprises (target-based training sponsors), pre-university prospects, and government research clients.
