History

Read: History of RECs

Formation of Regional Engineering College

During the second five-year plan (1956–60) in India, a number of industrial projects were contemplated. To ensure enough supply of trained personnel to meet the demand for these projects, a decision was taken to start the Regional Engineering Colleges (RECs), at the rate of one per each major state, which can churn out graduates with good engineering merit. Thus, seventeen RECs were established from 1959 onwards in each of the major states. Each college was a joint and cooperative enterprise of the central government and the concerned state government. All the institutes now offer degree courses at various bachelors, masters and doctorate levels in various branches of engineering and technology. The entire non-recurring expenditure and expenditure for post-graduate courses during the REC times were borne by the central government. As regards in the REC system the entire recurring expenditure on undergraduate courses, the same was shared by the central government and the state government on 50:50 basis. However, after becoming NITs the entire funding is managed by the centre now. Minister of Human Reseource Development Minister Murali Manoher Joshi decided to upgrade the RECs to National Institute of Technology (NIT).

Conversion to National Institute of Technology

In 2003 all the Regional Engineering Colleges were upgraded to National Institutes of Technology and central government took control to run these Institutes.The Regional Engineering College at Tiruchirappalli was founded in 1964 as a co-operative venture between the Government of India and the Government of Tamil Nadu to cater to the country's need for manpower in technology. The college was given autonomy in financial and administrative matters to achieve rapid development. In 2003, the institution was granted Deemed University status with the approval of the University Grants Commission / All India Council for Technical Education and was renamed National Institute of Technology.[3] The Chairperson of the institute is Ms. Kumud Srinivasan, President of Intel India. Dr.Srinivasan Sundarrajan has been Director of the institute since July 2011. The institute is undergoing accelerated growth through the World Bank-funded Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP).[3][4]

Annual events

Three of the institute's official annual events – Festember, NITTFEST and Pragyan – are organised by the students themselves.[30] These are also the largest and most-awaited events every year.

Festember

Festember is the annual national-level cultural festival of the institute. Held every year since 1975 during the month of September, this event encompasses music, dance and literary competitions, with thousands of participants from colleges all over the country vying for the trophy. The event has seen performances by Indian musicians including Karthik, Srinivas, Naresh Iyer, Kadri Gopalnath and Sivamani as well as bands like Indian Ocean, Euphoria and Silk Route.[31][32] One of the major highlights of Festember has been the pro-nites which have seen celebrity bands come down and rock the campus alive with their foot tapping and soul swaying music. Also on the agenda are the various literary competitions split up between English, Hindi and Tamil along with the cultural and arts events. Festember derives its name from the phrase, "A Fest to Remember" and not from "A Fest in September" as is popularly believed due to its falling in the month of September every year.

Pragyan

Ever since its inception in 2005 , Pragyan - the ISO 9001 & 20121 certified annual international techno-management organization of the National Institute of Technology , Tiruchirappalli , has served as a golden platform that attracts brilliant and innovative minds every year from nearly 100 colleges across the country to come and showcase their technical and managerial prowess. Since then it has broadened its horizon and forayed into the international arena by bagging the credit of being the first student run organization in the world to get an ISO 20121:2012 Certification for Sustainable Event Management and also by organizing online programming contests that attracts participation from 60 countries. With a spectrum of 47 Events spanning across 8 genres, it gives everyone a reason to innovate. The guest lecture series, every year ,sees eminent and famous intellectuals from all walks of life ranging from the Studio Architect of “Burj Khalifa” Marshall Strabala to Tessy Thomas aka “The Missile Woman of India” to Jeff Lieberman (host of the show “Time Wrap” on Discovery Channel) to Jimmy Wales (The Co-Founder of Wikipedia). The 2015 edition saw the introduction of 'Divergent', an inspirational talk series by youngsters who have made a marked contribution to the society.

Crossfire, the annual panel discussion provides a global platform where the academia, industry and government interact with the student fraternity. The 2015 edition saw the panelists debating on which is easier to accomplish-“Putting an Indian on Moon or to keep the streets cleaner?” moderated by Sumanth C Raman. Pragyan offers you a plethora of Workshops ranging from advanced robotics to aero modeling to fabrication to ethical hacking to rocket science to animations –you name it and you have it! Pragyan also offers the participants a sneak peek at the future through its varied array of exhibitions every year. NASA moon rock sample, human brain controlled helicopter, 3-D printer, vintage Cars, Indian Missiles are just a few from the lot!

Sangam is an inter-departmental technical contest, where the engineering and architecture departments show their mettle through the innovative display of models and solutions. A miscellany of entertainment and fun filled events under Infotainment is aimed at blurring the boundary between technology and entertainment with shows stretching across all genres be it acrobatics, freestyle dance, beatboxing, illusion, light shows or comedy night-outs.The annual budget of Pragyan is 1 crore rupees.

Nittfest

NIT Trichy has always believed in the philosophy that the development of an individual is not accomplished through pedantic learning alone but should be complimented by a healthy dose of co-curricular and extra curricular activities too. The foremost example of this philosophy is 'NITTFEST' - an annual extravaganza of fine arts.

During NITTFEST, departments square off against each other over two days, on an even keel, to battle over quizzes, debates, music, terpischorean delights and more - small battles fought under the umbrella of a big war. A war which shall on a pleasant Sunday evening, determine the best of them all. It is during such battles that the ceiling of belonging to the department merges and grows to its zenith. a time when heros emerge in all, heartbreak for some, ecstasy for others, but glory for the college and a treat for all.

It is thus evident that NITTFEST is more than just a fest - it is in effect, a tribute to the creative genius inherent in every Nittian. In keeping with its tradition, the high standards of NITTFEST assure the sponsor a high degree of exposure, one that spans a community of over 3000.

Sports Fete

Sports Fete is the annual inter departmental sports competition of the institute. It is usually conducted in the month of February. The competition is among the departments competing in various indoor and outdoor sports. The department with the highest total points wins the Sports Fete trophy. Mechanical engineering department has won the most number of titles beating Computer science department by marginal difference. A remarkable achievement considering the fact that there are practically no females(forget female athletes) in the Mechanical department.

Department Festivals

The highlight of the college calendar for the various departments has always been the department specific symposiums where upcoming and recent trends in the world gain a moment in the spotlight as students take a more co curricular approach to their academics. Spread over 2 days, the symposiums usually include paper presentations, guest lectures, workshops and various other events pertaining to the central theme each department has decided on for the year.

The following are the symposiums conducted by the various academic departments :

  • Computer Science And Engineering - VORTEX
