History and Growth

In 2005, in the portals of NITT, the staff and students put their heads together to come up with a vent for their creative outbursts. As a result, Pragyan ’05 took shape in its maiden year as a technical festival attracting innovation from across the state. The college took the promise of handing the torch down every year with a commitment to the highest levels of quality in the event.
