SAE IIT Kanpur is a student run organization at one of the premier technical institutes of the country, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. We are a team of highly motivated, enthusiastic, passionate and dedicated students who work towards the ultimate goal of building a ‘Racecar’. Our team comprises of students from a spectrum of different departments and years (i.e. First years to Post Graduates) who are passionate to pursue, explore, learn and gain experience in automotive. We began our venture in the year 2011, by the collective efforts of a group of students with a strong urge to complement the theoretical knowledge imparted in classrooms, emphasizing on the practical aspects of engineering. Their idea to develop an automotive culture revolutionized the institute and SAE IIT Kanpur started with an initial strength of over 150 student members.The competitions we participate in are highly prestigious and are judged by the professionals who command respect in the automotive industry in order to showcase our technical prowess, skills and hone our knowledge pertaining to real life engineering. By becoming a part of SAE IIT Kanpur, students embark upon the path that will nurture priceless practical skills in their respective fields of both engineering and business, enriching their college experience and equipping them with the knowledge that will allow them to prosper in their chosen career.
