Formula Bharat

Formula Bharat is an Indian Formula Student-style engineering design competition in which students from colleges and universities all over the country, compete with a life-size formula-style vehicle in areas of engineering design, overall cost, marketability, and dynamic performance. The series replicates the global student Formula series hosted in around 11 countries per year.

The purpose of this competition is to encourage students to gain hands-on practical experience while applying engineering theories studied in the classroom. In addition, students learn the art of management and teamwork, which are essential skills required in the ‘real world’. These student teams are required to build a new vehicle from scratch year after year and seek sponsorship and donations by their own means to fund the project.

The challenge to the student team is to design and fabricate a prototype vehicle that best meets the goals and intents as stated in the Rules Book. Over the course of a five-day competition, a jury of experts from the motorsport, automotive, and supplier industries judge the design, cost, and business planning of all the teams to determine the best team and vehicle; in addition, the team’s on-track performance scores will demonstrate how well they hold up under real-life conditions.

The Formula Bharat competition is divided into 2 categories – Static and Dynamic – which account for a total of 1000 points.
