History of the Institute


In the 60s of the twentieth century, as a result of the impressive success of microelectronics, the rapid introduction of electronics and computer technology began in almost all areas of human activity, including the main areas of production. There is a need to train technical specialists in electronics and computer technology. In response to this demand, a general technical department called "Electronics and Microelectronics"was organized at the Frunze Polytechnic Institute in 1968. The first head of the department was Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Osmonov Mels Karypbayevich, who worked in this position until 1980.

From 1980 to 1983, the department was headed by Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Imil Akkoziev. Despite the short term of the headship, Akkoziev I. A. did a lot of work on raising the educational, methodological and laboratory base of the department. During this time, more than 20 titles of educational and methodical literature were prepared and published, and almost a new educational and laboratory base was created for the courses: electronics, industrial electronics, analog electronic devices, pulse technology.

From 1983 to 1988, the department was headed by Tamara Bazarbayeva, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor. Due to the great demand for radio engineers in the republic, the department has been graduating since 1987 in the specialty T. 25.308 "Design and technology of radio-electronic equipment" and received the same name.

From 1989 to 1993, the department was headed by Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Baktybek Iskakovich Ismailov. In 1990, the department was renamed to the Department of Radioelectronics. The first release of radio engineers took place in 1992. During these years, the educational and laboratory base was improved, which allowed us to start training personnel in other areas in the field of radio electronics and telecommunications in the future.

In the 90s, after the collapse of the USSR, there were problems with the training of specialists in the telecommunications industry. If before this training was carried out in central universities, mainly in specialized communication institutes in Moscow and Leningrad, now there is a need to train specialists on their own.

In the 1993-1994 academic year, at the meeting of the Department of Radio Electronics, at the initiative of B. N. Nurmatov, it was decided to reorient the department's profile to training specialists in the field of Telecommunications with training of engineers in two specialties "Communication Networks and Switching systems" and "Radio communications, Broadcasting and Television"along with training of engineers in the specialty "RES Design".

In these years, from 1993 to 1996, the department was headed by Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Klim Sadykov, and from 1996 to 2000, the department was headed by Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Myktarbek Zhumabayev.

Taking into account the world experience of training engineering personnel, relying on modern technologies of higher school education in developed countries, KTU named after I. Razzakov and JSC Kyrgyztelecom decided on July 21, 2000 to create a joint educational institution – the Department of Telecommunications on the basis of the above-mentioned department I. Razzakov KTU, which was founded on a parity basis by KTU and Kyrgyztelecom JSC. Joint participation in the development of the department of telecommunications and the national telecom operator of the republic, and the university gave positive results in training specialists for this industry.

In March 2011, in order to improve the educational system and bring it closer to international standards, the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications (IET) was established on the basis of the OTKM KSTU named after I. Razzakov. The field of activity of IET is: training and retraining of specialists in the field of telecommunications, electronics, information and computer technologies, economics and management at communication enterprises.

The teaching staff of IET consists of highly qualified specialists, most of them are graduates of technical universities in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Odessa, Kharkiv, Tashkent, Tomsk, as well as employees of JSC Kyrgyztelecom, the State Communications Agency under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the Kyrgyz Broadcasting Corporation.

       The Institute consists of three graduate departments: Radio Electronics, Telecommunications, Information systems and Technologies in Telecommunications.

The founders of the Institute are KSTU named after I. Razzakov, JSC "Kyrgyztelecom", the State Communications Agency under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic (SAS).
Currently, the Institute is a member of the development sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which includes 194 countries around the world. The ITU defines international development in telecommunications, broadcasting and information technology, and regulates the international use of radio frequencies. With the support of ITU, the Institute hosts international conferences, and a laboratory and training complex has been put into operation, which includes::

- SOTHEBY's laboratory and training complex, which allows simulating networks of telecom operators, studying alarm systems and protocols in modern communication networks;
- interactive multimedia classes and a video conferencing audience, which allow conducting classes at a modern level;

- laboratory installations for modern telecommunications and digital broadcasting nodes;
- high-speed optical access to the networks of telecom operators in order to study real-world situations on their interaction.

The purchased Interactive laboratory and training class of telecommunications technologies and protocols "SOTSBEE-U" allows you to actively develop distance learning, and IET employees and students have access to the most up-to-date knowledge in this field.
Educational, scientific and production activities of the Institute are organized on the basis of KSTU, JSC "Kyrgyztelecom", GAS and other communication enterprises. In order to actively involve students in research work, the Institute has organized a student design bureau (SKB), where they create and configure various electronic devices, laboratory stands, and much more, while at the same time gaining practical skills necessary for future activities in working with modern equipment.

The Institute has close ties with a number of universities in the CIS countries in the field of telecommunications, including the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics, the St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications named after Professor M. A. Bonch-Bruevich, the Siberian State University of Telecommunications and Informatics, the Ural Federal University

University named after him. The first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin. IET KSTU has signed agreements on joint cooperation with these universities, according to which students of the Institute have the opportunity to spend part of the educational process in the above-mentioned educational institutions with the right to receive double diplomas if they successfully defend their diploma projects.

For more than 12 years, the Institute has been training specialists for all telecommunications companies in the Kyrgyz Republic, such as Kyrgyztelecom, Beeline, Megacom, and many others.

IET graduates work as managers of various levels of public and private telecommunications companies.

The Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications is proud of such managers, employees and graduates as: M. Zhumabayev, I. K. Aliyev, B. T. Karimov, A. K. Karymshakov, G. T. Karimova, Aider Bekirov, Bakyt Murzabayev, Dmitry Yanko, Maksat Dzhylyshbayev and many others.
