About the College
 
At the end of 1950 and at the beginning of 1960
a number of factories, institutes (occupied in) producing of computing
machines were founded. Among them are “Electron”, “The Scientific-
Research Institute of Mathematical Machines” (Mergelyan), “Rele”
factory and so on. Thees a demand for preparing specialists with
technical secondary education came forward. In June 1960 by resolution
of the Soviet Armenia Ministers Council Yerevan Technical School
of Mathematical Computing Machines was founded. Andrey Boyagyan
(1960-1963) who did his best to organize the Technical School become
its first headmaster. Later Garegin Stepanyan (1962-1967), Yuri
Dolukhanyan (1989-1992), Artashes Abrahamyan (since 1994 up to now)
were the headmasters of the Thechnical School. Stepan Nersisyan
(1963-1967), Garnik Ghaleryan (1969-1989), Armen Baghdasaryan (since
1993 up to now) were the heads of the teaching department and assistant-
directors. They played an important part in organizing the activities
of the Technical School.
The lecturers of the Technical School Grigor Grigoryan, Ruzan Boryan,
Albert Apoyan, Hasmik Zadoyan, Ovsanna Papyan, Heghine Alikhanyan
and others made their significant contribution to the Technical
School.
Up to 1971 there was an admission only for children who finished
the eighth form of the secondary school. But since 1971 for the
first time there was an admission on base of the tenth form. It
should be mentioned that the students admitted on the base of the
eighth form are considered to be the first-year students, and the
students admitted on the base of the tenth form are considered to
be the second-year students.
The first groups in the Technical School were made up of the students
who left Electromechanical and Foodindrustial Schools. The technical
School had been housed in the building of the abovementioned school
up to 1971, then it was moved into the present-day building. Later
two more buildings were constructed. During the first years the
Technical School prepared specialists of mathematics, computing
nachines and semi-conducting machines. At present the College teaches
such specialties as automation and robot production, media of computing
technics, programming complexes and networks.
In 1962 the first graduates left the Technical School. During forty
years more than ten thousand graduates left Technical School. Most
of them continued thir education at the Institutions of Higher Education
and succeeded in their work.
Among these graduates are Hovhannes Mandakuni- the Vice-minister
of Finance and Economics of Soviet Armenia and bank manager, Misha
Mkhoyan- the National Hero of RA (perished in the battle in 1992),
Samvel Soghomonyan - the candidate of technical Sciences at State
Architectural University of Armenia, Armen Baghdasaryan- the head
of the teaching department and assistant-principal of Yerevan State
College of Informatics, Eduard Manev- the first secretary of district
committee of the Armenian Communist Party. Vladimir Turyan - the
vice-president of the party “Azgayin Miabanutun”, Arakel Arakelyan
- the head of the tax inspectorate of Kotayk Region.

A. Charakhchyan, A. Gevorgyan, Y. Galstyan, K. Khachatryan and many
contribute to teaching and brinbing up the young generation.
The educational and financial resources of the college were enriched,
work production was improved, the number of students increased,
especially after 1994 when the college and the educational scientific
productive association “Informatics” began to cooperate. Since August
2000 the Technical School was renamed “Yerevan State College of
Informatics”. Now About 1300 Students study at the college, 137
of them study free of charge and receive scholarships.
There are two specializations at the college:
1) “Computer Facilities and Automated Systems Software”
(2203)
2) “Computers, Complexes, System and Web”(2201).
