also included in the curriculum. Teachings through
lectures in the class rooms are adequately supported
by studios and laboratory work. Thus, the number

which include; Model Making, Computer Graphics,
Photographics, Surveying and Environment and Materials
Lab. A seminar hall and seminar Library have also
been established to conduct the seminars and reference

visits are organized for the students to keep
them abreast with the latest design and architectural
practices in the country.

to prepare designs, drawings and a project report.
The degree of B.Arch. is awarded to the students
