IKC is an intercollegiate engineering design competition for undergraduate and graduate engineering students. The object of the competition is to implement good engineering practices, design projects and their related research work. Each participating student will learn, innovate and gain the experience of team work, leadership and the technical skill. The students must function as a team to design, engineer, build, test, promote and compete with a vehicle considering the few sets of rules applied by organizing committee. The organization also aims to provide an opportunity for students to be recognized at a national level for Research and Development careers in automotive engineering . IKC is launched with the approach of introducing International standards of motorsport to young engineering talents who team up to build a machine which not only performs on track but also conquers accuracy in professional design aspects. The difficulty level in static and dynamic events is designed in a manner to challenge the system and the rider of the machine. The event provides platform to engineers to get special mentorship from professionals of Motorsport like Mr.Dhruv Mohite(VW Ameo Cup Champion 2018) & Mr.Mazdayar Vatcha(Multi-time national motorsport champion ) .

allows them to use different combinations for different dynamic events. Teams are also allowed to change their gear ratio for different dynamic test.

Driver training program-

The training program is arranged on track under the observation and guidance of highly experienced motorsport drivers so
that naive driver can clear every single concept of cornering and importance of race lines. The driver will get familiar with the track during this training
program which will in turn make each driver faster during the final race.
