The Bandung Institute of Technology (Indonesian: Institut Teknologi Bandung, abbreviated as ITB) is a state, coeducational research university located in Bandung, Indonesia. Established in 1920, ITB is the oldest technology-oriented university in Indonesia.
ITB was considered the top choice among Indonesia's high school students in 2006 and has been credited as one of the most prestigious universities in Indonesia, together with University of Indonesia and Gajah Mada University.[2][3]
Sukarno, the first president of the Republic of Indonesia, earned his engineering degree in civil engineering from ITB.
The university cultivates professional and social activities by supporting its students' unions, the student government councils that exist in every department. There are also a number of student activity units/clubs supporting ITB student interests in rounding out their educational experience. The university is a member of LAOTSE, an international network of leading universities in Europe and Asia exchanging students and senior scholars.[citation needed]
ITB's march "Mars ITB" and hymn "Hymne ITB" were arranged by a former professor, Prof. Dr. Sudjoko Danoesoebrata.[4]
