AR17B10.1C PRACTICAL TRAINING
L/s: 30/Wk
Int: 150
End Exam: 150
Total: 300 End Exam: Jury
Cr:30
Course Overview:
Internship with training in an architect`s office for a period of not less than 20 weeks excluding the
examination/viva-voce etc.
Objectives of the Course:
To provide experience in Architectural Practice.
Expected Skills / Course Outcome:
The skills required for an architect to grow into a complete professional.
By the end of this course a student would be able to do all architectural works like design concepts, final
design proposals, municipal drawings, working drawings & details, building services, estimation & costing,
valuation, tender documents, site supervision, different building materials and implementation of building
regulations.
Course Contents:
Every student must work in an Architect`s Office as a full-time trainee for a period of 20 calendar weeks
(excluding Viva-voce) from the date of commencement of training. The Chief Architect in the firm should be
registered with the Council of Architecture, New Delhi and have a minimum of five years of
practical/professional experience after her/his registration. The student should involve herself/himself in
various aspects of work in an office like working drawings, presentation drawings, quantity and cost
estimation, site supervision, municipal drawings, etc.
Note: Detailed instructions which may be given by the University regarding the training, the frequency of
reporting to the department, etc. are to be followed strictly.
After completion of training, every student wil have to submit a detailed report with a set of drawings on at
least four projects on which she/he has worked during the practical training period.
Evaluation:
? The Internal Assessment shal be evaluated at the end/towards the end of the training period and shal
be conducted by the faculty deputed by the department in the institute.
? The Internal Assessment shal be of 150 marks. Each college can decide on the mode of evaluation of
the work, either by deputing a faculty member of the College to visit the architect`s office or by assessing
the work at the Institute, just preceding the External Assessment. The monthly reports, Log book
maintained, and reports from the Architect wil be considered for Valuation. Each College wil follow a
uniform policy for all studen118
ts i n the College.
? The detailed report and drawings prepared during Practical Training by students wil be evaluated at a
viva-voce by a jury consisting of one External member, one internal member (Practical Training
coordinator) or his nominee and Head of the Department or his nominee.
The Department shal arrange for the conduct of the viva-voce examination after submission of the report to
the department.
Students who are interested in training abroad are permitted to do so. The Chief Architect should be
licensed/registered with the local appropriate authority and should have been in practice for a minimum of
five years. The faculty members may satisfy themselves about the architect`s by checking the website but
the primary onus of the selection depends on the student. The student and Parent/Guardian must sign an
undertaking to be whol y responsible for the expenses, safety and accommodation of the student beforehand.
Additional Information to Colleges and students for Practical training:
? A counseling session should be arranged for the students before they start applying to architects offices
for internship positions. Apart from faculty members, practicing architects should also be invited to orient
JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY: KAKINADA
KAKINADA ? 533 003, Andhra Pradesh, India
the students and guide the students on formats and etiquette of applications, remuneration, work and
discipline expectations etc.
? Before giving final permission training abroad the college should conduct a background check of the
architect (by seeing the website, listed projects etc.)
? To ensure that students are aware of the options available to them, the Col ege should put up a list of all
firms who are wil ing /interested in taking trainees.
? An open Day may be organized at The College with a display of student`s works and invite architects to
view the works and select students for training.
? The College should compulsorily check the portfolios/profiles of the students before submission to the
architect`s offices.
? The work done at the office may also include a small component of research related to an on-going
project. The student may take up a study to give specific inputs, or relate to a new material or product
etc. However such work should not engage the student for more than 2 (two) weeks.
? The student should submit a 1000 word report on the projects that they have worked on which should
include salient features such as design methodology, special construction features etc.
? The letter from the College to the architect at the time of the student joining should contain the starting
and ending dates of training. The HOD/ Practical Training coordinator should inform the architect directly
by email or letter the dates when the student is expected to report at the college.
? The students may be permitted to change the office of training after only once, with prior permission from
the College and strictly only where there are compel ing reasons. Such cases may be dealt with on a
case by case basis based on the merits of the situation.
