National Institute of Technology Calicut (NITC) is one of the 31 institutions of national importance under the NIT Act 2007 and is fully funded by the Government of India. The mandate of the Institute is to provide higher technical education and conduct research in the various branches of Engineering, Science, Technology and Management. Originally established in 1961 as a Regional Engineering College (REC), it was transformed into a National Institute of Technology in the year 2002. Institute offers bachelors, masters and doctoral degree programs in Engineering, Science, Technology and Management. With its proactive collaborations with a multitude of research organizations, academic institutions and industries, the institute has set a new style for its functioning under the NIT regime.

NIT Calicut is an academically autonomous institute governed by the NIT Act 2007. The President of India is the visitor to the Institute under the act. The governance structure includes the national council for NITs as the apex policy making body, while the Institute’s governance is vested with a board of governors. Institute’s senate is the authority in academic matters. Chairman of the board of governors is nominated by the visitor. The broad based governance and administrative system given under the NIT Act ensures participative decision making and assures accountability.

Set in a picturesque landscape at the foothills of the Western Ghats, NITC is located about 22 Kilometers, north-east of Calicut City. It stretches over a length of about 1.5 Kilometers along the Calicut-Mukkam road, extending over an area of approximately 120 hectares. Being a fully residential institution, the campus houses academic buildings, research labs, hostels, residences and other amenities among its infrastructure. The Institute is presently offering 11 UG programs with a total intake of 1224 and 30 PG programs including MBA with a total intake of 761. Doctoral level research has remarkably increased in the recent times, with over 550 research scholars registered and there has also been a substantial increase in the volume of research papers and patents produced.
