The erstwhile Regional Engineering College Calicut Alumni Association Trivandrum – known as RECCAA Trivandrum – existed for nearly one and half decades with headquarters at Trivandrum catering to the alumni of REC/NIT in Trivandrum, Kollam and nearby places. The thrust areas were mainly focused on fostering friendship and fellowship among alumni and family and members.

REC Calicut along with the seventeen erstwhile RECs were rechristened as NITs during 2003 and granted deemed university status under full Central Government control. But it took some more time for the Alumni Apex body to change its name to NITCAA only in 2018 due to delay in complying with the procedural and legal formalities.  The General Body of RECCAA Trivandrum conducted on  2018 took a decision to convert the RECCAA Trivandrum to NITCAA Trivandrum.

The new Alumni Association by name NITCAA Trivandrum came into existence during 2019 after merging the existing RECCAA Trivandrum. The NITCAA Trivandrum was registered under the Provisions of the Travancore -Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Act with  the Registrar of Societies, Trivandrum  and new Memorandum of Association , Rules & Regulations were published during 2019 .

The registration number of the Association is No. TVM/TC/378/2019 dt. A PAN number was taken for NITCAA Trivandrum. After 2019, all the accounts of the association were audited and submitted to Registrar of Societies and registration renewed periodically and proper bank accounts were maintained. We are also registered with NITCAA Apex body as a Chapter.
