The BAJA SAE student challenge is a feted student competition that presents the
undergraduate engineering students with a challenging task of designing, fabricating
and validating an all terrain vehicle. The history of the event dates back to mid 70’s
when it originated in USA and since then it is conducted annually at several locations
across the globe, including USA, Mexico, Canada, India, South Africa, Brazil, and
South Korea, witnessing participation from prominent colleges around the world.
The BAJA SAE INDIA is successfully being held since 2007 at the NATRAX
(National Test Track) facility of NATRiP (National Automotive Testing & R&D
Infrastructure Project) situated at Pithampur, Indore in Madhya Pradesh.
MIT SAE BAJA Team – ‘Piranha Racing’ comprises of 25 dedicated auto-
enthusiasts students from Mechanical and Mechanical Sandwich working under the
guidance of Prof. C.D. Koshti and Prof. S.M. Bondar. They design, fabricate and
validate a single-seater four-wheeled off-road vehicle to take part in series of events
that test the vehicle for the sound engineering practices that have gone into it, the
agility of the vehicle in terms of gradeability, speed, acceleration and mobility
characteristics and finally its ability to endure a back-breaking durability test. MIT
