History
ITK was created in 2012 as part of the Master Plan for Acceleration and Expansion on Indonesia's Economic Development (MP3EI).{{Cite web|last=antaranews.com|date=2012-01-04|title=Institut Teknologi Kalimantan didanai tiga sumber|url=https://www.antaranews.com/berita/291337/institut-teknologi-kalimantan-didanai-tiga-sumber|access-date=2021-03-13|website=Antara News}} 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.{{Cite web|last=Liputan6.com|date=2019-09-24|title=Genjot Kualitas, Institut Teknologi Kalimantan Gandeng ITS Surabaya|url=https://surabaya.liputan6.com/read/4069911/genjot-kualitas-institut-teknologi-kalimantan-gandeng-its-surabaya|access-date=2021-03-13|website=liputan6.com|language=id}} 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.{{Cite web|last=Damaledo|first=Yandri Daniel|title=Cek Hasil Pengumuman Lolos SNMPTN 2020 ITK di portal.ltmpt.ac.id|url=https://tirto.id/cek-hasil-pengumuman-lolos-snmptn-2020-itk-di-portalltmptacid-eLM4|access-date=2021-03-13|website=tirto.id|language=id}}
