Welcome to Baja SAE India

Welcome to the official website of BITS-Pilani team of Baja SAE India. Our team's mission is to design and construct a single-seat off-road vehicle to meet the rules set forth by SAE. After thorough testing of a prototype vehicle, a production vehicle will be fabricated and subsequently entered for SAE sanctioned competition. This year BITS-Pilani will be participating in the event going to take place for the first time in India by SAE INDIA.

About Baja SAE India

The Baja SAE competition originated at the University of South Carolina in 1976, under the direction of Dr. John F. Stevens. Since then the competition has grown to six competitions: three in North America and one each in Brazil, Korea and South Africa with over 500 entries. With the growth of the series, corporations have come to recognize that students with Baja SAE on their resumes are premier candidates for their engineering positions.

Baja SAE INDIA Objective

The Baja SAE India design competition is one of the annual Collegiate Design Series sponsored by SAE International.

• Purpose for the students to design, build, test, and promote a rugged single seat off-road vehicle
• Powered by a Lombardini LGA 280-9 HP engine, transmission by Mahindra and to compete against 26 other colleges from the country.

It is upon the students to completely design and manufacture the vehicle within the specifications and limitations outlined in the rules book, while maintaining their academic studies. This year we will have to fabricate an entire new car.

This season's Baja competition will be held in India.
