BAJA Aptitude Test

The BAJA SAE is an event for the undergraduate engineering students, organized globally by the Society of Automotive Engineers, headquartered in the USA. The BAJA SAE tasks the students to design, fabricate and validate a single seater four – wheeled off road vehicle to take part in series of events spread over a course of 3-4 days that test the vehicle for the sound engineering practices that have gone into it, the agility of the vehicle in terms of gradability, speed, acceleration and maneuverability characteristics and finally its ability to endure that back breaking durability test. The event has spanned across six countries – USA, Mexico, South Africa, Korea, Brazil and India.

SAE INDIA Organises BAJA every year in association with top notch Automobile companies.

It is staged in two round, Virtual BAJA and the Final event.

BAJA SAE Virtuals Preparation Course
Outstanding! 5
I spent at least 2 hours daily working on the course and this course week took me a month to complete. The problem sets are designed in such a way that one is forced to read and do further research to accomplish them.
