Mission

To develop high quality technical education and personnel with a sound footing on basic engineering principles, technical and managerial skills, innovative research capabilities, and exemplary professional conduct to lead and to use technology for the progress of mankind, adapting themselves to changing technological environment with the highest ethical values as the inner strength.

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 12 UG programs including 4-year Integrated Teacher Education programme (ITEP) BSc-BEd, a dual major undergraduate degree  with a total intake of 1290 and 35 PG programs including MBA with a total intake of 761. Doctoral level research has remarkably increased in the recent times, with over 750 research scholars registered and there has also been a substantial increase in the volume of research papers and patents produced.

Our Goals & Objectives

The programmes and courses offered at NITC are designed to provide a balanced blend of basics of any field and adequate exposure to cutting edge ideas and technology in the area. NIT Calicut offers 12 UG programs including 4-year Integrated Teacher Education programme (ITEP) BSc-BEd, a dual major undergraduate degree and 35 PG programmes at present. Besides this, all departments have their research programmes as well. As a hallmark of our autonomy, faculty members have freedom to design course curricula and syllabi, subject to approval by the senate before being offered for study. The UG and PG curricula are revised every six years to keep pace with the latest trends in technical education. The institute and academic departments are reviewed individually by external experts every year. A credit based academic system ensures a constantly evolving and dynamic learning, with flexibility for the student to exercise choices based on his/ her interest. The Dean (academic) oversees all the academic programmes.
