The school was first administrated by the director of Fisheries through the superintendent of the Philippine Institute of Fisheries Technology (PIFI). Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan No. 30-A, the school together with six other Secondary Schools of Fisheries existing at the time were transferred to the Department of Education effective January 12, 1957.
In 1963, with the creation of Bureau of Vocational Education by virtue of Republic Act. No. 3742, agricultural, fishery and trade-technical schools were transferred from B.P.S. to the Bureau of Vocational Education.
Republic Act. No. 4349 enacted on June 19, 1965, provided for the conversion of this school to a college, otherwise known as the Western Visayas College of Fisheries.
The Estancia High School, a component school of NIPSC, was established in 1949. It was a provincial high school being funded by the provincial government of Iloilo.
On June 10, 1983, President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed Batas Pambansa Blg. 500 – converting and integrating the Western Visayas College of Fisheries and Estancia High School, both of which are in Estancia, into a Polytechnic State College.
