Banasthali Vidyapith is a fully residential women's higher education institute that offers an
integrated system extending from the primary to the Ph.D. level.
It was on October 6, 1935, that Smt. Ratan Shastri and Pandit Hiralal Shastri founded Banasthali
to fill up the vacuum caused by the sudden death of their highly talented and promising daughter
Shantabai. They had high expectations that she would work for the women's cause when she would
grow up. But destiny ordained otherwise.
Thus, Banasthali owes its existence neither to the zeal of an educationist, nor to that of a social
reformer. It is also not the creation of a Philanthropist's purse. It has arisen like the fabled phoenix from
the ashes of a blossoming flower Shantabai.
Banasthali is one of the five higher education institutes in India meant exclusively for Women.
Over these seventy-five years, Banasthali has developed into a National Centre for women's education.
Banasthali's educational program aims at an all-around development of the student's personality.
To achieve its objective of 'synthesis of spiritual values and scientific achievements of the East
and the West', it has evolved a Five-fold Educational Programme (Panchmukhi Shiksha) comprising of
the following aspects:
(i) Physical,
(ii) Practical,
(iii) Aesthetic,
(iv) Moral and
(v) Intellectual. This way the students develop an integrated and balanced personality.

BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE
Architectural Education in India has been weighed down by the traditions of Architectural
Practice that labor under the twin hegemonies of design and technology. In the past architectural
curricula have developed as reactions to historical change, to immediately preceding narratives. We
must appreciate that architecture today is more and more being informed by disciplines out of/other
than architecture. There is a need for redefining the Student of Architecture today. A student of
architecture is not only a learner but also a producer of knowledge. The student’s tools include a critical,
evaluative, conceptual mind, the ability to interconnect concepts/ facts, to use theory and argument, and
seek a higher level of explanation in the process of learning and its application to design.
The student’s initial challenges shall be to differentiate between objective and accepted reality,
to appreciate architecture as a cultural process, and to perceive change as a series of discontinuities,
more than cause/effect transitions. Only then can the student become relevant in today’s world, rather
than mindlessly repeat the dogma of the past. In the creation of a new syllabus for the Bachelor of
Architecture Course, certain adjustments to older mindsets must be made:
1. Architecture has to be appreciated as a 2nd Order Discipline (Instead of asking what should
we do, the student must ask why should we do?). It is a Meta discipline that is a combination of many
other disciplines; a critical attitude, not merely an empirical discipline like engineering that
needs/seeks/works with data.
2. Architecture deals with fundamental issues of users, cities, and societies, and not only
materials, processes, and aesthetics. It questions the presupposed and seeks new and contemporary
meanings. Before a new syllabus is made, the makers (teachers) must recognize their possible
insidiousness in the curriculum-making process, and objectively go beyond their own accepted
knowledge beliefs and realities. Real learning will not emerge merely out of the didactic (which itself
emerges out of biases, prejudices, and ad-hoc choices).
OBJECTIVE OF FIVE-YEAR BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE COURSE
The Bachelor of Architecture (Five-year Degree Program) has a broad scope, not only of self-
employment but creating job opportunities for a large number of people who will be working with the
Architects. There are ample opportunities for employment in Central, State & Private Sector
organizations, where the positions of Architects & Town Planners remain vacant for lack of qualified
persons. The program is intended to prepare students for professional practice in the field of
Architecture. There is an increasing recognition today of Architecture as an intellectual discipline, both
as an Art andas a Profession. In India, where we have further complexities of different social, cultural
and geographical, economic, and technical domains, which are unique and typical of every region of
our country, architects make a vital contribution in the shaping of our environment and society.
This program has started with an idea to provide qualified professionals, in the field of Architecture.
The emphasis will be on the developing personality of students with the aid of both objective
information and subjective attitude, based on reasons.
An Architect is supposed to act as a team leader and coordinator of the inputs of the various
specific disciplines. The need to possess a sound knowledge of all aspects of modem building,
technology, technological and Engineering aspects have been remarkably incorporated in the
curriculum to make the student able to keep pace with the fast-changing world of technology, where the
meaning of a house has been changed from ‘A shelter to protect us from extreme weather to 'A machine
to live in. The program aims at attaining a high level of excellence in Architectural Education. However,
the program is intended to reinforce intellectual capabilities and develop proficiency in a professional
scheme to enable graduates to completely pursue an alternative career within the broad spectrum of
Architecture.
7
The following objectives for a new syllabus for architectural education are proposed:
1. The new syllabus should prepare a student to understand and locate himself/herself in the real world.
2. The new syllabus should appreciate and reconcile itself to the imperfect times that we live in.
3. The new syllabus should reflect, through an application, upon the technological state-of-the-art of
theworld today and its relevance.
4. The new syllabus should give a direction or hope for the future. To fulfill these objectives, the
following questions may be asked first:
1. What is the work of architecture?
2. How is architecture different from nature?
3. How useful are our tools (curriculum) for evaluating these two questions (meta-questioning)?
The syllabus should reflect the following objectives:

• Architecture is ‘discipline’/ meta-discipline, not merely an empirical process
• Critical thinking/ criticality is important. The student must be given the tools to critically evaluate the
world he/she lives in
• The student needs to be redefined as more than a leaner, but a producer of knowledge.
• In the spreading world of information technology and easily available knowledge, the teacher needs
to be redefined as more than a giver of information, but one who can show the student how design is a
critical process.
• The architecture syllabus needs to be flexible. Individual colleges should be given the means to interpret
and expand on the syllabus in their way.
• Diversity must be appreciated and encouraged. Learning can be simultaneous and non-linear.
• A student needs to inculcate the ability to question, the ability to redefine technology, ability to
questionthe relevance of technology.
• Being informed by disciplines out of/other than architecture, Non-technology subjects, particularly
those from the liberal arts and the humanities may come into the foreground.
• Emphasis should be not only on theory but on practice also.
• Encourage research and give direction to research
In addition to these objectives, the following external requirements are also acknowledged. The first is
the adoption of the Credit system for evaluation and grading, thus creating a semester pattern syllabus.
Secondly, acknowledging the requirements given by the Council of Architecture, New Delhi; the course
shall now be divided into two distinct stages- a Basic Course and Advanced Course.
The Council has also encouraged individual colleges to be given both time and credits to develop their
additional syllabi components so that diversity in directions for architectural education and practice
shall be encouraged. As such 25% of the timetable shall be dedicated to projects, electives, or
coursework offered by the colleges themselves based on their philosophy and institutional objectives.
EXPLANATORY NOTES VARIOUS ASPECTS IN THE SYLLABUS
Sessional work
Sessional work in the B. Arch. The course can be defined as mandatory assignments carried out by
studentsin the classroom or the studio during the semester (session)The Sessional work will be detailed
out in the course content for each subject, which may include drawings, sketches, reports, presentations,
models as per the requirements. In the case of theory-intensive subjects, sessional work may be in the
form of class tests, seminars, presentations of reports, or documentation.
In the design studio or for the technical subjects, sessional work shall consist of supervised design
development, the working out of technical details, reports, and documentation. All these assignments
are marked in process and upon completion may be assessed in the form of Critics or Juries. Sessional
work in all subjects shall be designed, carried out, and assessed by the subjects in charge and collated
as Internal Marks
8
Allied Design Studio

The Architectural Design Studio is the central subject in the architecture course; other subjects
supplement knowledge, skills, and critical understanding of the design of architecture. The Allied
Design Studio is also a studio where subjects allied to Architectural Design can be taught and sessional
work carried out in the form of design projects. These subjects are closely associated with the core of
design and architecture. These subjects included Basic Design, Interior Design, Landscape Design, and
Urban Design/ Urban Planning. In addition to these subjects, Allied Design Studio shall also include
other design-based subjects such as Visual Studies, Graphic Design, Product Design, Furniture Design,
the Design of Outdoor Spaces
and Public Places, or Town Planning.
The college will determine the teaching modules and sessional work for these subjects, as also their
location in the first three years. Each subject shall have both a Lecture as well a studio component.
Credits for the Allied Design Projects will be given to each student as per her attendance, participation,
and contribution towards the projects. These Credits will be given by the respective Project teachers/
coordinators for the term.
College Projects
College projects form part of the 25% class time that shall be planned by the colleges according to their
philosophy and institutional objectives. College Projects may include mixed group participation of
students from different years or may be dedicated to anyone class. The College Project time and credits
may also be used to supplement additional coursework to advance knowledge in the core subjects in the
syllabus. Credits for these projects will be given to each student as per her attendance, participation,and
contribution towards the projects. These Credits will be given by the respective project coordinatorsfor
the term. The following is a representative list of what may constitute college projects: Seminars,
Tutorials/ additional classes for any course, Guest Lectures, putting up Exhibitions, Workshops,
participating in Architectural Competitions, or conducting Site Visits or Study Tours.
Electives
Electives form part of the 25% class time that shall be planned by the colleges according to their
philosophy and institutional objectives. Electives may include mixed group participation of students
from different years or may be dedicated to anyone class. Electives shall be offered by the college to
each class to supplement additional coursework or to advance knowledge in architecture and allied
fields. Credits for electives will be given to each student as per his/her attendance, participation, and
satisfactory completion of assignments. These Credits for the Electives shall be given by the respective
elective teacher for the term. Representative Lists for possible electives in architecture and allied fields
can be referred to from the Council of Architecture’s Document on Minimum Standards of Architectural
Education. The college can determine electives based on the needs of the day, and the availability of
resource persons.

In all theory, laboratory, and other non-classroom activities (project, dissertation, seminar, , , etc.), the
Continuous and End-semester assessments will be of 40 and 60 marks respectively. However, for Reading
Elective, only End semester exam of 100 marks will be held. Wherever desired, the detailed breakup of continuous
assessment marks (40), for project, practical, dissertation, seminar, , , etc. shall be announced by respective
departments in respective student handouts.
Based on the cumulative performance in the continuous and end-semester assessments, the grade
obtained by the student in each course shall be awarded. The classification of grades is as under:
Letter

A+ 9 Excellent
A 8 Very Good
B+ 7 Good
B 6 Above Average
C+ 5 Average
C 4 Below Average
D 3 Marginal
E 2 Exposed
NC 0 Not Cleared
Based on the obtained grades, the Semester Grade Point Average shall be computed as under:
Where n is the number of courses (with letter grading) registered in the semester, CC i are the course
th th
credits attached to the i course with letter grading and GPi is the letter grade point obtained in the i course.
The courses which are given Non-Letter Grades are not considered in the calculation of SGPA.
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) at the end of each semester shall be computed as under:
20
Where n is the number of all the courses (with letter grading) that a student has taken up to the previous
semester.
The student shall be required to maintain a minimum of 4.00 CGPA at the end of each semester. If a
student'sCGPA remains below 4.00 in two consecutive semesters, then the student will be placed under probation
and thecase will be referred to the Academic Performance Review Committee (APRC) which will decide the
course load ofthe student for successive semesters till the student comes out of the probationary clause.
To clear a course of a degree program, a student should obtain a letter grade C and above. However, D/E
grades in two/one of the courses throughout the UG/PG degree program respectively shall be deemed to have
cleared the respective course(s). The excess of two/one D/E course(s) in the UG/PG degree program shall become
