Robotics Students Club
About
A Robotics Students Club can be a great initiative to encourage students to explore robotics innovation, and hands-on learning. The Robotics Club of Babu Banarasi Das Institute of Technology and Management (BBDITM) was formed by the visionary convener after the institute’s participation in the prestigious e-Yantra competition organized by IIT Bombay. The recruitment process for the club members began with interviews conducted by the convener, starting with the participants of the e-Yantra competition. The Vice President of the club was selected through an interview process that assessed leadership qualities, technical skills, and vision. The positions of Treasurer and Secretary were filled by team members from the competition, chosen for their organizational skills, dedication, and team spirit. The Technical Lead was selected based on unique ideas and innovative approaches, with candidates presenting their concepts to the convener, who then chose the most promising individual to lead the technical aspects of the club. The Robotics Club of BBDITM aims to foster a culture of creativity, technical excellence, and collaborative learning, continuing to inspire and nurture future engineers and innovators under the convener’s guidance.
