We are delighted to announce that e-Yantra, IIT Bombay's signature Project-Based Learning (PBL) Robotics Competition, e-Yantra Robotics Competition (eYRC 2024-25) is in its 13th year and registrations are now open.
e-Yantra complements conventional engineering education in India by "Project-Based Learning (PBL)" to train young engineers to build systems solving real problems. This year e-Yantra has spread its attention overseas to provide a platform for young engineers to engage with each other through our unique "learn while competing" mode.
The e-Yantra Robotics Competition (eYRC) is a flagship initiative of the e-Yantra project, organized annually for Engineering & Technical students. It's actually a robotic MOOC that teaches skills in Embedded Systems, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Control Systems, Functional Programming, Image Processing and other contemporary areas. Participating teams are allotted "themes" that are abstractions of real-world problems. Themes are allotted in a selection process taking into account participants' skills and parent discipline.
Over the past 12 years, e-Yantra Robotics Competition has seen exponential growth in the number of registrations from around 4500 registrations in 2012 to 34,500 - only in India. The competition runs over 6 months during which participating teams work under the expert guidance of e-Yantra mentors.

The registrations are open for students internationally. We believe this is a compelling way to connect students across the world in the spirit of competition.
Participation requires one to be a full-time student in a polytechnic, engineering college or university. The competition requires only a basic knowledge of programming - e-Yantra trains students (online) from scratch in the competition.?
Prizes and benefits for students include e-Yantra (IIT Bombay) Certificates, 8-Weeks paid Internships at IIT Bombay, Cash Prizes, e-Yantra Goodies, etc.
We urge you to participate in eYRC 2024-25 and help us build a thriving innovation community between our institutions.
