About
Saurav Shandilya is a researcher and educator dedicated to expanding access to engineering education through project-based learning (PBL) and robotics. His primary research areas include inclusive pedagogy, online competition design, and scalable hands-on learning platforms. Shandilya’s most notable contribution is his work on the e-Yantra Robotics Competition (eYRC), an annual online event that guides students through a structured, five-month PBL process to build functional robotics projects. In his influential paper “Building Inclusiveness in a PBL Based Online Robotics Competition: Challenges and Outcomes” (2016, 6 citations), he critically examines how to make such competitions accessible to diverse student populations, identifying key barriers and proposing solutions to foster broader participation. This work has helped shape a model that reaches thousands of students across India, many from resource-limited backgrounds, enabling them to gain practical engineering skills. Shandilya’s research demonstrates how thoughtfully designed online competitions can democratize technical education, blending rigorous project milestones with inclusive support structures. His contributions are particularly valuable for educators and researchers seeking to implement PBL at scale while ensuring equity and engagement for all learners.
