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 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]

Platov. [14]

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]
