Academy of the Border Service of the National Security Committee

The Academy of the Border Service of the National Security Committee (Kazakh: Ұлттық қауіпсіздік әскери институты / Russian: Академия Пограничной службы КНБ) is the official military institution of the Border Service of the National Security Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

It was originally based from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and was named as the Second Normal School of Border Guard and OGPU troops.

In April 1957, the school was put under the authority and jurisdiction of the Committee for State Security (KGB).

At the fall of the Soviet Union, three quarters of all cadets left the school for countries such as Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

It became the Border Troops Academy and by order of President Nursultan Nazarbayev on 13 March 2012, it was renamed a final time.
