On March 6, 1990, by the order of the rector of FPI, the Department of Electronics and Computing Technology was formed based on the Osh Evening Faculty of the Frunze Polytechnic Institute, headed by senior lecturer A. A. Sarimsakov.
On September 9, 1997, the department was renamed the Department of Informatics and Computing Technology, with associate professor Nazarov M. N. as its head.
In 2000, two new departments were created from the Department of Informatics and Computing Technology:
- The Department of General Informatics
- The Department of Computing Technology, headed by associate professor Turgunbaev S. T.
On April 24 2003, the department was renamed the Department of Informatics, with associate professor Nazarov M. N. as the head of the department.
From September 1, 2006, to February 2007, senior lecturer Saadalov T. Y. led the department. From 2007 to 2010, the department was headed by professor Sarimsakov A. A. From 2010 to 2020, the head of the department was associate professor Matisakov Zh. K. Since 2020, the department has been led by associate professor Mambetov Zh.
