Chandigarh 12th July:- SAEINDIA, a
professional Society of Automotive Engineers and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, a
part of the US$ 20.7 bn Mahindra Group today announced the commencement of the
redesigned Virtual Round of BAJA SAEINDIA, which will be held between July 13
& 14, 2018 at Chitkara University, Punjab. This also kick starts the 12th
edition of the much-awaited BAJA series with Mahindra as the title sponsor.
With around 360 teams
from various engineering colleges of India, 5 students from each
team totalling over 1800 students, the battlefield is a fertile
ground for these students to come up with their ideas. In these two days,
the registered teams will be scrutinized for their knowledge and capability to
participate successfully in the main event. Like last year, all the teams at
the Virtual BAJA 2018 will make a presentation on their design, followed by a
VIVA or Extempore, which will carry equal weightage in their final
selection. The evaluation process will test every participant’s
knowledge on Rulebook and General Mechanical and Automotive
Engineering. Based on the performance in Virtual BAJA, the teams will be
selected for participation in the main event, scheduled to be held in Punjab
and NATRAX facility of NATRIP, Pithampur near Indore.
In India, the BAJA SAEINDIA (Society of Automotive
Engineers) began its journey in the year 2007 and was launched under the
leadership of Dr. Pawan Goenka (during his tenure as SAEINDIA President) and
the convenorship of Dr. K.C. Vora. As SAEINDIA ventured on to the unchartered
territory of holding a mega-event of this scale, NATRiP came forward to lend a
helping hand through an earmarked zone at its upcoming proving grounds- NATRAX,
situated at Pithampur, Indore. Similarly, IIT Ropar came forward to organize
the 2nd leg of BAJA SAEINDIA 2018 at Roopnagar.
Speaking on the occasion, Subodh Morye–Head
Marketing & PR BAJA SAEINDIA said that we are delighted to announce
the 12th edition of BAJASAEINDIA 2019. Events such as
these help build and nurture the acumen of young engineering talent
in maths, science,and engineering. Additionally, we are also happy with
the encouraging response for eBAJA.
Speaking at the conference, Dr. Madhu Chitkara, Vice–Chancellor
Chitkara University said that she is ecstatic to see that over the years,
BAJA SAEINDIA has grown in popularity and has become a bigger event
nationally signifying its increasing popularity. She has seen the
enthusiasm of students who have been participating in this competition.
She must say BAJA SAE is the most popular platform in India for young engineers
to demonstrate their team-work and engineering skills. We are glad to extend
our support in providing industry-ready engineers to the
Automobile industry through this competition and look forward
to continue supporting BAJA SAEINDIA.
BAJA SAEINDIA tasks the students to conceptualize design,
build, test & validate a single-seater four-wheeled All-Terrain
Vehicle (ATV) to take part in a series of events spread across a
course of 4 days. The finale will be held at the NATRAX facility of NATRIPat Pithampur near Indore, from 24th to
27th January 2019 followed by HR meet on 28th & 29th January 2019. There
will be one more event in Punjab from 8th to 10th March 2019 followed by the HR
Meet on 11th March 2019.
A remarkable feature unique to BAJA SAEINDIA is the
adoption of a new theme every year. This year the theme for BAJA 2019 is
‘Adventure Reloaded’. The passion, hard work and perseverance of the
budding engineers, who start their journey from scratch and traverse throughout
the year to come up with their dreams converted into reality,
the fervour to take up challenges and ability to maximize
efforts are rightly justified by this theme. It will drive the
standards and boundaries of their capabilities to new scales and at the same
time prove BAJA to be a ground of glory.
