Better understanding needed about Architecture study! - 11-Jun-2017
The buildings and the houses that fall in our eyes do not have the same appearance! The reason is that there is lot difference in plan, design and materials, depending on the individual taste and affordability.
There is huge difference between the towns that are built these days and those that were built 20 years ago. Looking at the skyscraper, shopping complexes and bridges - will surprise everyone the on phenomenal growth the field of construction has gone through. Architects are the person behind this growth!
Ever year, over 20 thousand architect students come out after completing their studies. Need for architects are going up due the coming of government proposed Smart City projects, Sustainable development, low cost construction and green building.
We all know that those students who desire to be Architects must have completed 5 year B.Arch study. Along with technology and based innovation this is a 100% practical study.
In other studies, there would be a vast gap between the course and the work that they undertake. They may require few days of orientation. But, architecture is not like that. As this is more practical type of studies, during the course itself they would acquire certain amount work experience.
Apart from being a sandwich study, this study also provokes the students creativity. Todays students and parents need to be more aware of this study that it comprises of practicals in all the semester.
Only by getting through NATA entrance exam, one would be eligible to take up B.Arch course in any of the colleges in India. In this entrance exam, maths, general ability and drawing skills are put to test. We provide free coaching for this entrance examination.
More than providing facilities such as computer studio, climatology lab, planning studio and material museum, we provide importance to case studies, building construction, model making, site visiting, hands on training, internship and workshop. Above all we give more importance to skill development.
