As part of this initiative, an endowment of ₹40 lakh was donated to CREC-SJET (CREC Silver Jubilee Endowment Trust), with the interest generated from the endowment being utilised to support deserving students. For the academic year 2026–2027, a total scholarship amount of ₹2.10 lakh will benefit six students.

This scholarship initiative reflects the enduring bond between NIT Calicut and its alumni and highlights the important role of alumni contributions in supporting student achievement and academic excellence. It also encourages aspiring civil engineers to pursue excellence in their academic and professional journeys.

NIT Calicut congratulates all the scholarship recipients and wishes them continued success in their future endeavours.
