In 1987, the institute was decentralized, resulting in autonomy for Kano State Polytechnic, Kano State College of Education, and Kano State College of Arts Science and Remedial Studies. The college had two campuses in Gumel and Kumbotso, with the central administration in located Gumel. The college split due to the creation of Jigawa State, forming Jigawa State College of Education and Kano State College of Education.

The two campuses later merged in Kumbotso after the establishment of Kano University of Science and Technology.
