RCS and NITCAA Cochin Chapter are sister organizations with a shared history and several common objectives. They have joined their hands in several programs and activities for the benefit of larger community. Two shining examples are:

This program provides a platform for budding entrepreneurs and start-ups to listen and learn from experienced and successful people. Several such programs are conducted where experts, executives, influencers, and successful entrepreneurs share their experience. Lively open discussions and Q&A are often followed. Programs are held once a quarter at RECCAA Club and is open to all.
Flood Relief Activities:

Sadick's house on 15th August 1984, with about 140 people in attendance. It’s now known as NITCAA (NIT Calicut Alumni Association) – Cochin Chapter.
