History

The development of SICT from 1936 to today

Beginning
1936

Under Resolution No. 32 of the Mongolian People's Council of Ministers, the "Temporary Wired and Radio Communications School" was established, laying the first foundation for professional training in the communications sector in Mongolia.

1967

Under Resolution No. 332 of 1966, starting from the 1967–1968 academic year, 25 students from the Radio Physics program of MUIS were admitted to the "Communications Engineer" program, beginning the domestic preparation of higher-education communications professionals.

1971

Under Order No. 221 of the MUIS rector, a "Radio Communications Department" was established within the Energy Faculty of the Polytechnic Institute, opening a new program for communications engineer-economists.

1973

The first cohort graduated, with 21 graduates receiving diplomas in communications engineering.

1982

The Communications Technical Vocational School and the Railway Technical College's communications branch were merged to establish the Communications Training Center.

1984

The Polytechnic Institute separated from MUIS and became an independent university.

1984–1986

Departments in "Automated Management Systems & Computing" and "Automation & Electronics" were established, expanding the academic scope.

1989–1990

The Radio Communications Department was merged with the Engineering-Economics Faculty to form the "Information Technology and Automation Faculty," and later the "Computer Research and Training Center" was established.

1991

The IT & Automation Faculty was merged with the Communications Training Center to form a tiered Information Technology School with four departments: Radio Communications, Electrical Communications, Information Technology, and Electronics.

1992

The Engineering Training Center was established on the basis of the Computer Research & Training Center.

1993

The Engineering Training Center was reorganized into the School of Computer Technology and Management.

1996

The school's alumni association was founded and a foreign-language section began operating. Master's admissions also began in Electrical and Radio Communications, launching graduate-level education.

1999

The school was named the "School of Communications and Information Technology" (KMTS).

2002

With a grant from the Government of India, the "Information and Communications Technology Training Center" was established, providing an international-standard and distance-learning environment.

2003

The school was renamed the "School of Communications and Information Technology."

2009

The school was renamed the "School of Information and Communication Technology" (SICT).

2014

SICT was reorganized to operate with four branches: Communications, Electronics, Computer Science, and Information Technology.

2023

A Republic-of-Korea-funded project to strengthen SICT was implemented, significantly enhancing the school's teaching and research capacity and opening a new chapter in its history.
