What Ilam University does

Ilam University (دانشگاه ایلام) is a public higher education institution headquartered in Ilam, Ilam Province, Iran, operating under the supervision of the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. Founded in 1976, it offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs across ten-plus faculties including engineering, basic sciences, humanities, agriculture, veterinary medicine, and Islamic theology. The university serves approximately 8,700+ enrolled students, has produced more than 23,000 graduates, and employs 241 faculty members and a broader workforce of 501–1,000. It operates two affiliated entities: the Pardis-e Khodgardan self-funded campus and a Technical College of Engineering and Agriculture in Dehloran.

The institution runs a multi-platform digital ecosystem anchored by the Golestan Comprehensive University System (developed by Nowpardaz Isfahan), which automates admissions, course registration, grading, financial operations, research, and housing. Supporting systems include an LMS (lms.ilam.ac.ir), a research management system, a digital library, a unified student UID authentication portal, student housing and food services platforms, and an authentication gateway. The technology stack is largely shared infrastructure across Iranian public universities rather than proprietary to Ilam.

Revenue is overwhelmingly driven by Iranian government budget allocations from the Ministry of Science, supplemented by tuition from self-funded/evening ("شهبانه" / "شهریه پرداز") students and international students. Domestic students in regular daytime programs receive free education. International students pay €700 per semester, decomposed into €520 for Persian language tuition, €100 for educational services, and €80 for health insurance. Distribution is administered through the national Konkur entrance examination for domestic intake and a dedicated international admissions office that uses recruitment agencies and online application portals. The university also conducts funded research collaborations with provincial entities including the Ilam Gas Company, the Legal Medicine Organization, the Thermal Power Generation Company, and Shahid Salari Airport.
