History

In the Working Cabinet (2014–2019), this ministry was in the form of a directorate general and was placed under the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education. In the next cabinet, namely the Onward Indonesia Cabinet (2019–2024), it was named the Directorate General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. In the Red and White Cabinet (2024–2029), the Directorate General of Higher Education was separated from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology to become a separate ministry.
