In those days, more than 350 understudies were taught by 24 educators and 21 instructors. The school was partitioned into five areas: I. General Department (Mathematics, Natural Science, Humanities, Law and Economics), II. Building Department (Structural Engineering and Surveying), III. Bureau of Architecture, IV.

Two of the college's long-standing solicitations were met by the state after the start of the twentieth century: it was allowed the privilege to grant doctorates in 1901, and in 1902 the race of the important by the showing staff was endorsed.
