The MITS E-BAJA team showcased a strong technical performance in the national BAJA SAE Electric competition, competing against 90 engineering teams from across the country.
In the endurance event, the team secured an overall position of 24, demonstrating the vehicle’s reliability, battery efficiency, and consistent off-road performance under demanding track conditions.
The 30-member team was led by Captain Gabrin Paul (2022–26 batch). The project was guided by Faculty Advisor Dr. Nikhil Thoppil, whose technical supervision and support were crucial throughout the design, fabrication, and testing phases.
The electric ATV was entirely student-designed and built, involving battery integration, motor control tuning, chassis fabrication, safety validation, and performance testing.
This effort reflects the team’s practical engineering skills, coordination, and commitment to sustainable mobility innovation.
