Cooperation between MPEI and Chad started in 1976, when the first students were admitted.

The students take an active part in various MPEI events, such as the Open Russian Language Olympiad for foreign students, demonstrating their knowledge of the Russian language, as well as the Interfestival, surprising the audience with cultural performances.

In 2024, a delegation from Chad headed by Mr. Tom Erdimi, Minister of Higher Education, paid an official visit to MPEI.​
