    As part of Formula Bharat, student teams are required to design and construct formula-style vehicles. The main aim is to encourage students to hone their skills in a real-world setting.

    The competition is divided into two parts: Static Events and Dynamic Events. The Static Events focus on engineering design, cost and manufacturing, and business plans, while the Dynamic Events consist of on-track events such as acceleration, skid pad, braking, autocross, efficiency, and endurance.
