Team IGNITRR of National Institute of Technology (NIT) Raipur added another feather in the cap by securing an overall 7th position and the key takeaway being the 2nd position secured in the Manufacturing event at the prestigious SAE E Baja 2021. It was conducted by Society of Automotive Engineers, India in collaboration with Mahindra & Mahindra. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the event was shifted to a virtual platform and the focus of the event moved to the challenges of designing and validating the design without actually building the prototype vehicle.
 
This involved the use of a variety of simulation tools and testing softwares to ensure smooth vehicle design and proper ergonomics. The team deployed software such as ANSYS,IPG CarMaker, etc. at a large scale to meet competition requirements. The sharp jump from the 24th position secured in the previous edition of SAE E BAJA to the 7th position secured at the event this year is attributed to the compassionate and dedicated team. Shreyash Royzada, Captain, Team IGNITRR and Abhinav Mishra, Vice-Captain, Team IGNITRR led the team at the event.
 
Dr Shailesh Vaidya, Dr S P S Matharu and Dr S Bhowmick played a key role in mentoring the students to the pinnacle.
