1. COURSE INFORMATION

During the two years duration a candidate is trained on subjects viz. Professional
Skill, Professional Knowledge, Workshop Science & Calculation and Employability Skills
related to job role. In addition to this a candidate is entrusted to make/do project work and
Extra Curricular Activities to build up confidence. The practical skills are imparted in simple
to complex manner & simultaneously theory subject is taught in the same fashion to apply
cognitive knowledge while executing task. The practical part starts with Architectural
symbols, simple geometrical drawing and finally ends with designing Doors, Windows,
Stairs, designing of Residential / office building in CAD, 3D in sketch-up software, Working
drawing, Rendering in Photoshop, Preparation of 3D model and BOQ using BIM software like
Revit, etc. The broad components covered under Professional Skill subject are as below:

FIRST YEAR: The first year starts with Importance of trade training and professional
prospects, Importance of safety and general precautions. The practical training starts with
Free hand sketching, Lettering, basic drawing (consisting geometrical figure, Architectural
symbols & representations). Later the drawing skills imparted on drawing of projections,
drawing of stone and brick masonry, foundation, Carpentry Joints, Doors, Windows, Lintels,
Arches. Trainees are introduced with CAD and then they are entrusted to practice drawings
with CAD. Drawing of Damp proof Course (DPC), Projection of Solids in inclined positions,
Section of solids, Residential building Design, Stairs, Floors and flooring, Surface
Development, Final site plan with landscape are being taught in the practical. From this year
trainees make drawings in CAD. Apart from practical components the trainees are being
taught of History of architecture - Egyptian architecture, Greek architecture, Roman
architecture and Indian architecture and related theory to practical in theory class.

SECOND YEAR: Design of single/ double storied Residential building /Post office/ farm
house, project in 3D sketch up, drawing of Special doors & windows, Roof and roof

elements rendered, working drawing showing all dimensions of rooms and column grids
with door window schedule and details, all four elevations with floor heights, lintel heights,
sill heights and details, Section through staircase or toilet with complete details in the
practical and related theory to practical in theory class are being taught in this year. Project
like small scale residential apartment/primary school/small office design, Joints in structure
using CAD, Preparation of 3D model and BOQ using BIM software like Revit, etc. , Rendering
in Photoshop, Compilation and final submission of Project work in the practical and related
theory to practical, Climatic responsive design, Energy conservation, Green Architecture /
sustainable architecture in theory class being taught in this year.

2. TRAINING SYSTEM
2.1 GENERAL

The Directorate General of Training (DGT) under Ministry of Skill Development &
Entrepreneurship offers a range of vocational training courses catering to the need of
different sectors of the economy/ labour market. The vocational training programs are
delivered under the aegis of Directorate General of Training (DGT). Craftsman Training
Scheme (CTS) with variants and Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) are two pioneer
programs of DGT for propagating vocational training.

Architectural Draughtsman trade under CTS is one of the popular courses is

delivered nationwide through network of ITIs, NVTIs and RVTIs. The course is of two years
duration. It mainly consists of Domain area and Core area. The Domain area (Trade Theory
& Practical) imparts professional skills and knowledge, while Core area (Workshop
Calculation & science and Employability Skills) impart requisite core skill, knowledge and life
skills. After passing out the training program, the trainee is awarded National Trade
Certificate (NTC) by DGT which is recognized worldwide.

Broadly candidates need to demonstrate that they are able to:

· Read & interpret technical parameters/documentation, plan and organize work

processes, identify necessary materials and tools;
· Perform work with due consideration to safety rules, Govt. Bye laws and
environmental protection stipulations;
· Apply professional knowledge, core skills & employability skills while performing the
work.
· Produce sketches as per requirements of clients.
· Document the technical parameters related to the work undertaken.

2.2 PROGRESSION PATHWAYS

· Can join industry as Technician and will progress further as Senior Technician,
Supervisor and can rise to the level of Manager.
· Can become Entrepreneur in the related field.
· Can appear in 10+2 examination through National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS)
for acquiring higher secondary certificate and can go further for General/ Technical
education.
· Can take admission in diploma course in notified branches of Engineering by lateral
entry.

2.4 ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION

The trainee will be tested for his skill, knowledge and attitude during the period of
course through formative assessment and at the end of the training programme through
summative assessment as notified by the DGT from time to time.

a) The Continuous Assessment (Internal) during the period of training will be done by
Formative Assessment Method by testing for assessment criteria listed against learning
outcomes. The training institute has to maintain an individual trainee portfolio as detailed in
assessment guideline. The marks of internal assessment will be as per the formative
assessment template provided on www.bharatskills.gov.in

b) The final assessment will be in the form of summative assessment method. The All India
Trade Test for awarding NTC will be conducted by Controller of examinations, DGT as per
the guidelines. The pattern and marking structure are being notified by DGT from time to
time. The learning outcome and assessment criteria will be the basis for setting question
papers for final assessment. The examiner during final examination will also check the
