Prof. Kavi Arya (Computer Science & Engg. Dept., IIT Bombay) is the Principal Investigator of e-Yantra (https://www.e-yantra.org), a robotics outreach project hosted at IIT Bombay and funded by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. 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. 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 6-7 months during which participating teams work under the expert guidance of e-Yantra mentors. The effect of participation is placements at 10-100% higher packages, PG admission into top-rated colleges globally and the urge to do startups.

Registrations are open till: 25th Aug. 2024, 11:59 PM
The competition is open for registrations for students internationally. We solicit your help in reaching out to your students. 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 of an undergraduate or postgraduate program 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.
