History and establishment time

On July 3, 1914, Tsar Nicholas II approved the "Decree on the Establishment of a Polytechnic Institute in the City of Samara". In 1934, three previously independent technical colleges merged into the Middle Volga Industrial Institute, and the Department of Chemistry was added as the Department of Chemical Processes. In 1935, the Middle Volga Institute was renamed the Kuibyshev Industrial Institute. In 1962, the Kuibyshev Industrial Institute was reorganized into the Kuibyshev Polytechnic Institute. In 1980, the institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. In 1991, Kuibyshev Polytechnic Institute was renamed Samara Polytechnic Institute, and a year later it acquired the status of Samara State Technical University. In 2015, Samara State Technical University decided to merge with Samara State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, and in 2016 it became one of Russia's 11 flagship universities.
