DJS Kronos India has made nation proud

Team DJS Kronos India has made our nation proud by securing 3rd Rank Worldwide and 1st Rank in India at BAJA SAE Arizona (USA) which was held from 27th May to 5th June, 2020.

DJS Kronos is an engineering project team consisting of 40 undergraduate engineering students from Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering which designs, builds and races an All Terrain Vehicle (AVT) to compete in Baja SAE with sponsorship support from Toolex International

Team under the leadership of captain Gaurav Jain and the mentorship of faculty advisors Rajnarayan Yadav and Shashikant Auti. The constant support form Head of Department Dr.K.N. Vijaykumar , Principal Dr.Hari Vasudevan  and D.J. Sanghvi College of engineering management was truly overwhelming.

The team design, manufacture and fabricate a single seater all-terrain vehicle from scratch every year.

Baja SAE is an intercollegiate design competition run by Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) is an international organization that promotes the exchange of important information and ideas between engineers

Each year as many as 100 Baja cars representing countries all over the world from India, China, Mexico, Brazil, USA and Canada enter in the Baja SAE events in the International forum.

Dynamic events take place on the third and fourth days of competition. The third day is exclusively for time trials. Each team races their car through a number of events including a maneuverability course, an acceleration track, a hill climb or sled pull event, and a special event specified for each competition (suspension and traction, or rock crawl). The fourth day of competition is reserved for a four hour endurance race in which all participating teams are on the same track at once, racing side by side.

This part of the competition is the event worth the most points and makes designing and fabrication for durability paramount to success.

However due to the Covid-19pandemic the dynamic events were scrapped off and only the static events were conducted virtually over video conferencing from 27th May to 5th June.

As soon as the competition was declared to be conducted virtually for the year 2020
