    Kalimantan Institute of Technology (Indonesian: Institut Teknologi Kalimantan, abbreviated as ITK) is a technological-focused public university based in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia.[2][3][4]

    History

    ITK was created in 2012 as part of the Master Plan for Acceleration and Expansion on Indonesia's Economic Development (MP3EI).[2][5] At the time, East Kalimantan had one university, Mulawarman University. ITK started collaborating with Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology. with the latter also providing ITK’s first campuses.[2][6] Despite that, ITK had already started accepting students in 2012, with 100 students from East Kalimantan exclusively as its first-year batch.

    Originally, only five majors were available to the students: electrical engineering, machine engineering, naval engineering, chemical engineering, and civil engineering. By 2013, the number of majors available increased, and ITK started accepting students from outside East Kalimantan.[2][7]

    In 2014, ITK officially became a public university, and, by 2015, ITK started operating from its Balikpapan campus.[2][8]

    The logo of the university consists of two aspects, each with their own meaning:

    1. Two hornbills refers to balance and consistency in creating a generation of achieving students that can contribute to society.
    2. Two hands holding an opened book refers to the importance of scientific knowledge.[9]

    Academics

    ITK has a total of 21 programs across five faculties and all of them are at the undergraduate level: mathematics and information technology; science, food, and maritime technology; industrial technology and processes; civil engineering and planning; earth science and environment.

    According to the Webometrics 2021 report, ITK is ranked at 292 amongst all university in Indonesia.[10]
