Each educational institution does not arise from nowhere, it has a long way to gain popularity. Volgograd Technical University also experienced a lot before becoming popular among students.

The Institute in 1960 had only two faculties. At the beginning of the 60s, the national economy was actively developing in the country. This caused a shortage of qualified engineers from various industries. In the educational institution, new faculties and specialties began to open. By the beginning of the 80s, it was renamed and became known as the Volgograd Polytechnic Institute. In the Volga region, this educational institution in those years was the largest and most authoritative.

With the new status and name in the educational institution, the educational program was reorganized. Being one of the leading educational institutions, this educational institution has risen to a higher research level. Since 1993, the Technical University (Volgograd) has been implementing the innovative student assessment method at that time - a system of modules and ratings for students.
