In the 2024–2025 academic year, the Polytechnic Institute of the Tajik Technical University named after Academician M. S. Osimi in Khujand actively developed research and innovation activities among students and master’s students.

During the year, 14 departmental research clubs and 30 clubs for preparing competition participants worked successfully. As a result, 60 scientific articles by undergraduate students and 73 scientific articles by master’s students were prepared for publication. Some of these articles have already been published. In addition, 32 innovative projects were submitted to competitions for inventors and innovators.

Student participation in scientific and academic competitions was very active. More than 220 students took part in institute-level competitions. Over 90 of them advanced to city, regional, and national levels.

The institute also organized subject olympiads in the state language, history, Russian, and English. A total of 62 students participated in these olympiads at the institute level.

Students and master’s students represented the institute at the international level. They took part in the international olympiads “Electrical Engineering – 2025” and “Physical and Mathematical Calculations in Energy.” More than 40 participants received diplomas and certificates. Prize winners were:

·               Shamsiya Shamsiddinova, doctoral student in Agrotechnology and Industrial Ecology — 3rd place;

·               Oliyakhon Ismoilova, first-year master’s student in Crop Production, Storage, and Processing — 3rd place;

·               Sobitjon Erkaev, fourth-year student in Power Supply — 3rd place.

During the year, students also took part in national competitions such as “Science – the Light of Knowledge,” “Young Researcher and Inventor,” “Master’s Student of the Year,” “Financial Literacy,” and other national and regional contests.

At the institute level, scientific conferences, professional and creative competitions, olympiads, and events dedicated to the Day of Tajik Science were held.

A special event was the national competition “Master’s Student of the Year.” It has been held for the second year in a row in April and is organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Tajikistan in honor of the Day of Tajik Science.

These results show the strong scientific activity of students and master’s students and the important role of the Polytechnic Institute in the development of education and science in the Republic of Tajikistan.
