In his remarks, Bokhodir Ayupov spoke about the university’s new concept in the Central Asian market. He noted that classes at ITPU are conducted directly by global specialists from EPAM, preparing students to tackle real-world industry challenges from their first year. The university places particular emphasis on practical training, the development of the startup ecosystem, and involving students in project activities. Most ITPU students launch their own startups by their second year and actively participate in national competitions and grant programs. The pride of the university lies in its students and graduates who have proven the effectiveness of this practical approach and who have reached the finals of the President Tech Award competition.

Currently, more than 400 students are studying at ITPU, with 80 students comprising the university’s first graduating class. Of these graduates, 80% are already employed, working in major companies such as IT Park, TBC Bank, Alif, Beeline Uzbekistan, and the international company EPAM. Furthermore, two students are completing internships at Apple, further confirming the high quality of education and practical training at ITPU.
