The NIT Awareness Drive Committee was constituted on September, 2014 with an aim to create an awareness amongst the student and teaching communities about the presence of an institute of national importance NIT Meghalaya in the state. From the very beginning, when it started admitting students in July 2012 in its present temporary campus at Shillong, it was seen that most of the people were not aware of the formation of this premier technological institute within the state and its potential in bringing up the overall development of the state. From its very constitution, NIT Awareness Drive Committee had prepared and executed several plans that created a growing interest amongst the student community viz. visiting different schools and giving presentations and interacting with students, organizing workshop, assistance in filling up online JEE application forms, organising logo design competition, organizing inter school competition science exhibition and poster presentation competition, etc., so that there is an awareness of the benefits of studying in an institute of national importance like NIT Meghalaya.
