"Sir, I m getting sooo booored ! ... what shud I do NOW ? "

My dear Bachhas,
I realised from the many calls that u r getting thoroughly pakaoed in these holidays ... it seems to be a loooong wait b4 ur 1st yr archi commences. So, to make use of the time available here are a few things to keep u occupied & calm down ur nerves ...

Relevant computer softwares:
U cud enrol in a course in AutoCAD, 3DStudioMax, Photoshop, Corel Draw. These 3-4 software applications r primarily used by architects - and u as students wud find it beneficial and to ur advantage if u familiarize urself with them. These wud be taught in college too - but it tends to get odd wince that is the time when u wud love to USE these for ur projects rather than still be coping up with learning the software.

Another nifty utility is Google SketchUp ... it's a free download and there r plenty of tutorials available ... u can teach urself this 3D app. - a great way to tinker around at home when it's pouring outside.


Now that the provision merit list is out, let's c how we can analyse it thus:
simply c-p it in Excel and 'Sort' as per the regions (eg: Mumbai = 1)
The total no. of items (with rgn 1) is 1162 - 16 unused rows on top =1146.
Now, the total no. of pvt colleges in Mumbai = 9 (excluding BSSA) ... with an average of 60 seats per college (some hv 40 n some 80) ... thus 9x60=540 seats. 
In other words if ur rank is within 540 then u can be sure to get into Mumbai pvt. colleges. If ur rank is below 540 u may still get in depending on cancellations etc - so wait till Cap 3. Yes, there WILL be cancellations becoz many students opt out of achi n get into engineering or medicine or pharmacy (they also give the NATA along with these other entrance exams). Statistically, I wud push the 540 figure to ~ 1000 ranks. And remember that many cud take admissions in the govt colleges too, which implies further cancellations to pvt. (In other words, if ur rank is 1000 then too u stand a decent chance to get into Mumbai's 9 pvt colleges: KRVI, LSR, Rizvi, IES, Hiray, Asmita, BV, DYP, Pillai)


What's r we gonna study in 1st year ?
Some of u r wondering @ the syllabus u'd be bombarded with in the 5 yrs of archi ...or at least wot the 1st yr subjects r like. Well, here's the link:



Some good books for 1st yr Architecture (of the 5-yr B.Arch course):

  • Architecture: Form Space Order - Francis D.K.Ching
  • Building Construction Illustrated - Francis D.K.Ching
  • Architecture - Design & Drafting ... by Hepler & Wallach


Party time .............! 
The farewell party will happen once the final list is put up and u guys r confirmed @ an archi college.

Dear AMC Alumni & whoever has benefitted from Sanjay Sir's Training Programs, Hi!
