Our Institute was set up 40 years ago as an evening branch of the Volgograd Polytechnical Institute. In 1994 the Volzhsky branch was reformed to Polytechnical Institute.

There is the Faculty of Auto-mechanics and the Faculty of Economics and Engineering. Students also have an opportunity to study at the day-time and extra-mural departments. I study at the day-time department. The day-time and extra-mural departments in our institute train students in 11 specialties: machine-building, automobile transport, chemical engineering economics, chemical technology and others.

The academic year is divided into two terms. First and second year students study general engineering subjects: higher mathematics, chemistry, physics, drawing, strength of materials, elements of machines.
