The Liberator Ramón Castilla, provisional President of the Republic, through the Law of August 29, 1856, erected the National University of the Altiplano, with the name of University of Puno, by Law of August 29, 1856, with unknown acronyms; later it was called University of San Carlos de Puno, adopting the name of the National College of San Carlos de Puno. The prominent author of the draft Law for the Reopening of the University of Puno, Eng. Enrique Torres Belón, points out that, legally, the University of San Carlos de Puno does not exist, as it has been named, in several legislative projects, the name that has Legal validity is that of the University of Puno, for his part Samuel Frisancho Pineda, affirms that the University took San Carlos Borromeo as its patron, by appointment made by General Alejandro Deustua, and concludes that since its installation it had the name of "Saint Carlos ", a name that is confirmed by José G. Paz-Soldán, Rector of the University of San Marcos de Lima, who in his book Anales Universitarios, compiles documentation that shows the use of the name of San Carlos de Puno.

In 1856, the National Convention ruled the Law of creation of the University of Puno, promulgated on August 23 and signed on August 29 of the same year, by the President of the Republic Don Ramón Castilla. The Law contains 4 articles: the most important one states that, "A University is erected in the city of Puno, for the teaching of Theology, Jurisprudence, Medicine, Philosophy and Letters, Mathematics and Natural Sciences and so that in these same Faculties confer Academic Degrees ". The second provides: "The University will observe the Public Instruction Regulations of April 7, 1855." As with any new institution, it did not have its own Statute, the necessary location, and the respective budget allocation. The third article indicates that, "it will be governed by the Statute of the National University of San Agustín de Arequipa, and that its university functions will be held at the National College of Puno." Likewise, it provides that the expenses that originate the chairs of this brand new University will be assigned to the income of the College.

Barionuevo, Ignacio Vásquez, Bartolomé Aguirre , Juan N. Arce, Juan M. Gamboa, Jorge Ramos, Manuel E. Giménez, Melchor Patiño, Ramón Torres, Mariano Solano, José M. Pacheco, Guillermo Pino, José A.
