About Virtual BAJA The Virtual BAJA SAEINDIA is a filtration c riterion, through which all the registered teams are scrutinized for their knowledge and capability to participate successfully in the main event. Virtual BAJA started in the year 2009 and is supported by working professionals as judges and volunteers across the country. The Virtual BAJA SAEINDIA acts as a pre‐qualifier to participation in the BAJA SAEINDIA event. The objectives of the Virtual BAJA Event are as follows: 1. To acquaint the teams completely with the objectives of the BAJA SAEINDIA event. 2. The teams are required to familiarize themselves with the technical guidelines and limits for the design of BAJA vehicle. 3. To design the complete CAD Model of the BAJA Vehicle. The design should be complete in all respects to the extent of being considered ready‐to‐manufacturing. Based on the performance in the Virtual BAJA, the teams would be selected for participation in the main event. The selection would be purely on the basis of merit and ONLY ONE TEAM PER COLLEGE shall be allowed on the basis of comparative merit. This excludes the eBAJA registrations from those colleges. The design presented during the event if shortlisted, shall be considered as final and the team shall be considered to proceed towards fabrication activity using the same design. Failing this, the teams shall be penalized / disqualified if the fabricated vehicle does not exhibit correlation with the design report or if the teams fail to fabricate within the stipulated timeframe. Note: The Virtual BAJA is a pre‐qualifier, thus, no awards would be issued for the Virtual BAJA event.

Virtual BAJA Guidelines Key Guidelines for Virtual BAJA SAEINDIA 2017 are listed below:
Definitions: 1. OLD TEAMS The teams / colleges / institutions which participated in the Main Event of Baja SAEINDIA 2016 and/or 2017 will be called as ‘OLD TEAMS’. ‘Participation in the Main Event’ means the team must have built the Baja vehicle, brought it to
the main event and has got their team registered at Pithampur site for o n-site stages of competition.
2. NEW TEAMS The teams / colleges / institutions which could not participate in the Main Event of Baja SAEINDIA 2016 and/or 2017 will be called as ‘New Teams’. Teams not covered under ‘Old Teams’ c riteria will be considered as NEW TEAMS.

Pointers to Virtual BAJA Discipline and ethical conduct are of utmost importance. Please exhibit the same during the event. 5 members per team are allowed, including Captain / Vice-Captain. One faculty member in addition to the team members would be allowed only as a silent observer during presentation/viva. Presence of Team Captain OR Vice -Captain is mandatory. Teams would have to strictly adhere to a timeline for presentation followed by Q&A Session & Viva. The total time allotted = 20 + 1 5 + 10 = 45 mins Teams have to prepare the presentation in strict adherence with the guidelines. Any deviation from the same may lead to reduction of marks. mBAJA teams must assume that they would use a common Briggs & Stratton Engine of 10 HP/305 cc. eBAJA teams must assume that they would use a common motor of capacity not great er than 6KW. Selection criteria are solely based on me rit and preference of venue during initial registrations. Only one team from an institute would be selected based on me rit. Multiple teams do not entail confirmed selection. This excludes E-Baja Teams. Following content is NOT allowed in student presentations: o Any content about institute except for te am, institute name & workshop facilities o Any content about SAE Collegiate Club or past activities o Any CAD / CAE videos are not allowed. Instead, teams should present the data in the form of mathematical or meaningful data. For E.g.: boundary conditions Crash test analysis values, present deformation value, g- values, FOS, etc. o Any content that tries to influence the judging panel for favourable consideration of team in the selection process o No report or other documents are to be submitted before or during Virtual BAJA 2017.
