The founding of another university in East Java Unair (Universitas Airlangga) on November 10, 1954, brought about some significant consequences to the status of PTPG Malang. Since then, PTPG Malang merged with Unair and became one of the university's four faculties. It was not until four years later that the status change was officially declared whereby PTPG Malang became Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of Airlangga University (Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan FKIP-Unair). In 1963 FKIP- Unair was converted into an independent institution, namely Institute of Teacher Training and Education (Institut Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Malang or better known as IKIP Malang).
The year 1999 marked another critical change to the institution's status where IKIP Malang obtained a more significant mandate and was transformed into Malang State University (Universitas Negeri Malang UM).
