Formula Student is the world’s biggest competition for engineers. Every year competitions are held all across the globe. Founded by the "Society of Automotive Engineers" (SAE) in 1981, the first competition in Europe took place in 1998. At present, there are more than 600 teams from universities all over the world competing with their self-constructed race cars.

The goal is to develop and provide a platform for student engineers to experience, build, and learn. It offers a unique way to test students’ theoretical knowledge in a practical context. Students gain and develop skills such as engineering, project management and team work.

This is a National level Inter-College event in which teams are supposed to design and fabricate a energy efficient human and electrically powered hybrid vehicle. The prospective of conducting an event of this magnitude at national level is to develop a vehicle which is eco-friendly,less power consuming,ergonomically feasible .

During the fabrication process of the vehicle,we are required to follow the rules given by SAE INDIA, an affiliate society of SAE International. Technical inspection of the vehicle is done by the people who are working in the field related to Automotive Engineering .

BAJA SAE India is an inter collegiate competition to design build and race an off-road All Terrain Vehicle(ATV) that can withstand the harsh elements of rough terrain.

Team SRIJAN, the team from IITG went to bangalore to participate in the prelims of the BAJA-2012 and successfully qualified for the final round. The prelims is named virtual BAJA and has its own prestige in national level competitions for mechanical engineers. Our design was made very accurately and innovatively that the judges who inspected our design in bangalore were impressed very much.
