COURSE STRUCTURE AND RULES

PREAMBLE
The New Syllabus of the B.Arch. course hence forth to be referred as the 2019 Pattern, to be
implemented from the year 2019-20, is designed to address the rising expectations of
knowledge to be borne by an architect. The interdisciplinary nature of the field of architecture
demands integration of knowledge domains from various disciplines such as humanities, art, and
technology and so on. However, what distinguishes an architect is the design knowledge and
ability to employ the knowledge from the various disciplines for arriving at a solution to a
problem.

Hence the syllabus has been designed such that the professional core subjects are supported
by building science and technology courses, professional ability enhancement courses and the
elective courses. The professional ability enhancement courses and the practical training of
one semester focus on connecting the students with the practice. The elective courses enable
an exposure to some other domain or nurtures the students’ proficiency or skill. The Audit
courses are introduced to acknowledge the knowledge that the student seeks in his/her area of
interest but not directly contribute to the CGPA.

At the end of the course the graduating student shall be able to methodically approach a
problem of creating a built environment be it a small house or a township by employing
knowledge from various domains and at the same time making it safe, equitable, feasible and
environment friendly. Education needs to equip the student to face the challenges and demands
in the field by imbibing first principles.

As per the University guidelines, the course is structured upon the Credit System Based
Assessment. The syllabus is structured with the following objectives and expected outcomes

10.2 SGPA: The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by a number called the
semester grade point average (SGPA). The SGPA is the weighted average of grade
points obtained in all the courses registered by the student during the semester.

Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) =

SGPA = ----------------

=
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Credits

For example : Suppose in a given semester a student has registered for five courses having credits C1,
C2, C3, C4, C5 and his / her grade points in those courses are G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 respectively,
Then the SGPA would be

SGPA = C1G1 + C2G2 + C3G3 + C4G4 + C5G5

-----------------------------------------------------
C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 + C5
SGPA is calculated up to two decimal places by rounding off.

1. CGPA : The CGPA is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the
courses (theory /sessional / sessional vivavoce) of all the ten semesters. It is calculated
in the same manner as the SGPA. It is calculated based upon the SGPA of the concerned
semesters.

OBJECTIVE
To provide an opportunity to the students to apply the knowledge and skills
gained in earlier years to a full-fledged Architectural Design project of student’s
choice with a holistic approach including background research, programme
formulation, site selection investigations and design demonstration.

COURSE OUTLINE
The Architectural Design Project shall consist of Design Demonstration i.e.
formulation of design programme, site investigation and selection, and
culmination in architectural design proposal.

TOPIC FOR ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT

The topic for the project shall be approved by the Institute and guided by the
Faculty. The student may consult external resource persons specializing in the
chosen topic, but the assessment shall be done by the faculty. A guide may
guide up to EIGHT students during the session. In order to qualify to work as a
Guide, the faculty must possess a minimum of TEN YEARS of teaching /
professional experience.

SUGGESTED CATEGORISATIONS OF THE TOPICS ARE AS UNDER:

1. Institutional Buildings
2. Infrastructural Buildings
3. Work places
4. Commerce and Trade buildings

 7. Hospitality
8. Religious Buildings,
9. Recreational Buildings
10. Industrial Buildings
11. Cultural Buildings
12. Urban Design project / Urban Design Insertions of suitable scale.
13. Conservation including Rejuvenation, Revitalisation of suitable scale.

Number of subcategories is possible under the above main categories as per the
discretion of the Faculty Member.
The students may link the topic of the thesis to earlier explorations through Research
in Architecture done in previous years or explore new concern as per his/her choice.
The scale of the project must do justice to the depth of involvement, (e.g., in case of
very small projects in-depth design demonstration is expected)
However very large projects in specialized branches of architecture may not be
encouraged and if taken up scope & scale needs to be limited as mentioned below.
The built up area & the scope of a project ( in particular in urban design, conservation,
revitalisation etc ) should be chosen such that the same can be handled at the B. Arch.
level and involves a demonstration of a solution involving Architectural Design in
particular.

SESSIONAL WORK
The portfolio of the final work submitted by the student shall contain
MANUALLY LABOURED / COMPUTER GENERATED drawings of sheet sizes
as per international standards and a PHYSICAL MODEL explaining the
architectural proposal. The portfolio of process drawings and models must also
be submitted separately for establishing continuous monitoring and progressive
assessments, not to be marked separately. Along with the drawings A4 / A3
size bound report consisting of the background and rationale of the project, the
methodology and the prints of the final proposal shall be submitted after the
oral examination, to be kept in the library of the college. The choice of the size
and format of the report is left to the institute, however, within one institute report
size should be constant. In addition, the student may show other presentations
like 3D views, walkthroughs etc.

SESSIONAL ASSESSMENT:
The Internal assessment of the architectural project shall be carried out STAGE
WISE as decided by the college. The final assessment in the examination shall
be done by both Internal and External examiner in which the student shall
display the work on the space allotted to him/her and explain his work and
answer all the queries raised by the examiner.
The external examiner shall be a professional, not teaching at any institute as
visiting or core faculty and shall have minimum 10 years of professional
experience.

by the Faculty shall be treated as authentic work done by the student under the
guidance of the Faculty. The student may submit a sufficient number of
drawings required to satisfactorily explain the project. The student shall also
present a separate portfolio of study & process sheets, study models etc.
ORAL EXAMINATION
The oral examination shall be held in the physical presence of the student in
the examination centre of the candidate jointly and exclusively by the internal
and external examiners. The student shall be allowed to present his project for
a minimum 10 minutes without any interruption. The student shall be judged for
