Ragam is the annual techno‑cultural festival of the National Institute of Technology Calicut (NITC), India, and includes a wide range of science, engineering, and technology‑oriented competitions alongside cultural events. Typical technical events have included robotics contests, coding and hackathon‑style challenges, design and build events, and quizzes that test science and engineering concepts. While Ragam is primarily a college festival, many of the technical competitions and outreach events are open to pre‑university and school students in the region depending on the year’s program and individual event rules. Participants gain exposure to real‑world problem solving, teamwork, and interaction with engineering students and industry guests. Interested high schoolers should check each edition’s event list and eligibility criteria, as age/grade requirements can vary by competition.
