NITC was set up in 1961 as Regional Engineering College, Calicut (CREC) as the ninth of its kind and the first one to be established during the Third Five Year Plan period. Till the formation of the Calicut University in 1963 the institute was affiliated with the Kerala University. It was largely due to the efforts of Pattom Thanu Pillai, the Chief Minister of Kerala that the institute came into being. Prof.S.Rajaraman was appointed the special officer in 1961 to organise the activities of the college till Dr. M. V. Keasva Rao took charge as the first principal of the college. The classes were first held at the Government Polytechnic at West Hill, Calicut before it moved to its present campus in 1963. The college started with an annual intake of 125 students for the under-graduate courses, in a campus of 120 acres.

Admission
Students are taken in for the undergraduate courses is through the All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE) conducted by CBSE, New Delhi. Around 650,000 students write this test to gain admission to one of 20 NITs.[10]Admission to some other autonomous national level technical institutes (called Deemed University) is also through AIEEE. Admission to the graduate M.Tech and PhD courses are primarily based on scores in the GATE exam, conducted by the IITs. Admission to the MCA programme is done through the NIMCET conducted by the NITs.The first NIMCET in 2006 was conducted by NIT Calicut. Besides this faculty from other institutes work as research scholars in NITC under the Quality Improvement Programme (QIP). It is also the national coordination centre for the QIP of polytechnic institutes.
