The university during its nascent days were known as the Don higher educational institution. The institution was established with a background of the demands from the local authorities and the public in general for forming a university in the city of Novocherkassk, which started informally around 1870s. Consequently, some student unrest took place during 1905–1906. This event was followed by the approval of the Imperial Regulation of the Council of Ministers on 2 March 1907, and the university was legally established with the aim "to recognize the expediency of the establishment of the Don Polytechnic Institute in the city of Novocherkassk". Initial departments of the university included mining, engineering and melioration, mechanical, and chemical technologies. [2]

On 5 October 1907, the Don Polytechnic Institute started to operate, while becoming the first higher educational institution in the southern part of the Russian Empire. [3] At that time, the institute did not have its own buildings and was collectively operating in seven distinct closely located buildings.

In the year 1909, the institute was named after Tsarevich Alexei, and started to be known as Alekseevsky Don Polytechnic Institute. [4]

On 9 October 1911, construction began for own buildings of the university which were designed by Bronislaw Roguisky. This construction project included the main, robotic (modern name), chemical, mining corps and was finally completed in 1930. [5]

After 1917

During the years 1918 to 1920, the institution was named after Alexey Kaledin. Then the institution was renamed as Donskoy Polytechnic. In April 1930, the Don Polytechnic Institute was divided into several independent higher technical educational institutions which included: [2]

On 21 March 1933, by order of the then People's Commissar for Heavy Industry Sergo Ordzhonikize, the geological exploration institute, chemical technology institute and energy institute were merged. Due to the result of such merger, the North Caucasian Industrial Institute was formed, which in 1934 was renamed as Novocherkassk Industrial Institute, named after Ordzhonikidze. [6] [7]

On 27 February 1948, via order No. 264 of the USSR Ministry of Higher Education Department, the institute received a new name – Novocherkassk Polytechnic Institute named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze. This name remained associated with the Institution until 1993. [8]

In 1957, the institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. [9] [10]

On 5 July 1993, by order No. 55 of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Higher Education Department, the university received a new status and the name was further changed to Novocherkassk State Technical University.

On 2 February 1999, by Order No. 226 of the Ministry of General and Professional Education of the Russian Federation, it was renamed again and this time the new name was South Russian State Technical University (Novocherkassk Polytechnic Institute). [11]

On 19 August 2002, it was enrolled under the Unified State Register of Legal Entities as a state educational institution of higher education while retaining its previous name. [12]

Later it was transformed into a federal state budgetary educational institution of higher professional education (FGBOU VPO), while the name remained unchanged. [13]

On 25 October 2012, order No. 463 was adopted by the Government of the Rostov Region to assign the name of the university after M.I. Platov, which was supported by the petition of the university management dated 8 April 2013 No. 38-3 / 115. Consequently, on 24 June 2013, by order No. 482 of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the university was decided to be renamed into FSBEI HPE South Russian State Polytechnic University (NPI) commemorating M.I. Platov. [14]

During 18 and 19 October 2007, celebrations took place for marking the 100th anniversary of the oldest university in the southern Russia. On 17 October, the All Russian Exhibition Fair of Research Works and Innovation Activities was inaugurated at the university premises which was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the university. [15] [16] The opening ceremony was attended by the mayor of Novocherkassk, the head of the city duma and the top officials of the university. [17]
