The institution runs six training modalities under distinct sub-brands and dedicated portals: undergraduate (Đào tạo đại học), graduate (Đào tạo sau đại học), international programs (Đào tạo quốc tế via cie.ptit.edu.vn), distance learning (Đào tạo từ xa via dec.ptit.edu.vn), part-time/evening programs (Đào tạo vừa làm vừa học via eript.ptit.edu.vn), and continuing professional education (Đào tạo bồi dư�ng via pttc1.edu.vn). Technical infrastructure is supported by the campus's Australia-Vietnam Strategic Technology Center (AVSTC), recognized in the 2026 Vietnam–Australia leaders' joint statement, and a research/innovation ecosystem aligned with national strategic technology priorities. The HCMC campus is organized into academic departments (Information Technology, Basic Sciences, Telecommunications, Electronics Engineering, Business Administration) and administrative functions (Training and S&T, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Finance, Organization/Administration, Examination and Quality Assurance).

The business model is built on four revenue streams: (1) state budget allocation as a National Key University; (2) tuition and fees from six training modalities, with rates government-regulated and not publicly disclosed in detail; (3) scholarship funding totaling hundreds of millions VND annually; and (4) research grants and technology services provided to government and industry partners. Admissions are conducted through the national centralized tuyensinh.ptithcm.edu.vn portal using competitive entrance scores. Distribution relies on direct on-campus programs, online training portals, international partnerships, distance learning, part-time programs, professional development courses, and a national admission system, with marketing conducted through the official website, Facebook, YouTube, a recruitment portal, and international events. The institution reports a 100% graduate employment rate and was ranked in the Scimago Institutions Rankings 2024 innovation category.
