History

Iligan Tech started in 1946 as Iligan City High School (IHS). IHS was converted into Lanao Technical School in 1956 by virtue of Republic Act 1562. [2]

On June 19, 1965, Republic Act 4626 [3] converted Lanao Technical School into a vocational college and renamed it as the Northern Mindanao Institute of Technology (NMIT). RA 4626 formalized NMIT as a vocational school offering elementary, secondary general, secondary vocational and normal courses of instruction and also collegiate, agricultural, and industrial courses leading to bachelor labor.

On July 12, 1968, Republic Act 5363 [4] renamed NMIT to Iligan Institute of Technology and integrated it as a unit of the Mindanao State University. RA 5363 mandated MSU-IIT to provide a program for an effective manpower training urgently needed for the industrial and commercial development of the Mindanao State University.

On March 12, 1975, as part of a comprehensive reorganization plan, MSU-IIT was made an autonomous campus of the Mindanao State University System under BOR Resolution No. 894 series of 1975. [5]
