ShikshaTopQuestions-Architecture

AAT also known as Architecture Aptitude Test is an offline conducted entrance exam for admission to the B.Arch programme offered by IIT Kharagpur and IIT Roorkee. A student who has qualified Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) can give AAT. AAT consists of one paper of three hours duration. The question paper for AAT will be available only in English language.
Candidates have to bring their own drawing and coloring aids like:
1) Pen
2) Pencil 10/12 Set
3) Sharpener
4) Eraser
5) Geometric instruments like a compass, ruler, etc.
6) Hall ticket for JEE Advanced.
The syllabus consists of these topics:
Freehand drawing: Common domestic or day-to-day life usable objects like furniture, equipment, etc. are required to be drawn without any guidance through memory.
Geometrical Drawing: Study of plan (top view), elevation (front or side views) of simple solid objects like prisms, cones, cylinders, cubes, splayed surface holders, etc.
Three-dimensional perception: Visualization through structuring objects in memory.
Imagination and aesthetic sensitivity: Creativity check through an innovative uncommon test with familiar objects. The sense of color grouping or application.
Architectural awareness: General interest and awareness of famous architectural creations both national and international, places and personalities (architects, designers, etc.) in the related domain.

Hello,
Yes, Bundelkhand University, Jhansi is a good college for B.Architecture. There are a good number of reasons to accept this college. Apart from good structure and course curriculum, it is also a very sport oriented college. There is an innovation centre that provides research facility. It has well-equipped infrastructure with facilities of Wi-Fi and smart classes that enable the students to have better grasp over the studies. The faculty is quite experienced. In Department of Architecture and Engineering, professors are well educated and teaching is done in an effective manner. We have smart classes for smart education. RFID supported central library is available with a good reservoir of books. Hostels are there but they cannot accommodate all the students but you can get rooms nearby easily. Hence Bundelkhand University is a good option for B.Architecture.

Hello,
I would like to vote to Anna University for architecture course. I will not say much about the Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science as I don't consider this college comparable to Anna University, Chennai. Anna College is situated in Chennai with good environment and facilities. The campus placement of this college is very good. Various companies have already started to come here in college for recruitment, even at the end of third semester/fourth semester. Hostel facilities like room temperature and food are nice. Transportation is above average and canteens food is clean and good. North Indian food is also available in this canteen. Faculty is well appreciated. Overall, it is the best college for middle-class people.

Most important topics to focus on while preparing for B.Arch exams. It has 2 parts.
Part 1 being Mathematics & General Aptitude
Part 2 being Drawing test
Part 1 Consists of - MATHEMATICS
Algebra: Definitions of A. P. and G.P.; General term; Summation of first n-terms of series. Arithmetic/Geometric series, A.M., G.M. and their relation; Infinite G.P. series and its sum.
Logarithms: Definition; General properties; Change of base.
Matrices: Concepts of m x n (m 3, n 3) real matrices, operations of addition, scalar multiplication and
multiplication of matrices. Transpose of a matrix. Determinant of a square matrix. Properties of determinants (statement only). Minor, cofactor and adjoint of a matrix. Nonsingular matrix. Inverse of a matrix. Finding area of a triangle. Solutions of system of linear equations. (Not more than 3 variables).
Trigonometry: Trigonometric functions, addition and subtraction formulae, formulae involving multiple and submultiple angles, general solution of trigonometric equations. Properties of triangles, inverse trigonometric functions and their properties.
Coordinate geometry
3-Dimensional Co-ordinate geometry: Direction cosines and direction ratios, distance between two points
and section formula, equation of a straight line, equation of a plane, distance of a point from a plane.

Part 2 - DRAWING TEST
Understanding of scale and proportion of objects, geometric composition, shape, building forms and
elements, aesthetics, colour texture, harmony and contrast. Conceptualization and Visualization through
structuring objects in memory. Drawing of patterns - both geometrical and abstract. Form transformations in 2D and 3D like union, subtraction, rotation, surfaces and volumes. Generating plan, elevation and 3D views of objects. Creating 2D and 3D compositions using given shape and forms. Perspective drawing, Sketching of urbanscape and landscape, Common day-to-day life objects like furniture, equipment etc., from memory.
