backbone of the world of work. They find employment in the functional areas. However, the most important job functions
include: production, quality control, installation, maintenance, servicing, marketing etc. In order to train manpower of
desired quality and standards, it is essential to provide appropriate learning experiences to the students for developing
requisite competencies in the respective disciplines.
The Curricular Structure and the relevant syllabi for the above mentioned disciplines were last revised in 1994.
Development in the field of Science & Technology warranties revision and upgradation of the curriculum at all the three
levels of Engineering & Technology Education, viz. the Degree level, the Diploma level and the ITI level. It is in this
background that the West Bengal State Council of Technical Education took the decision in early 2002 to update the
existing curricular structure and syllabi of the different full-time diploma programmes in vogue. Accordingly the Board of
Studies of the Council took initiative. Upon the recommendation of the Board of Studies, the State Council in its meeting
held on 2nd July 2002 adopted Curricular Structures for the Diploma Programmes in Engineering & Technology, Applied
Arts & Crafts and Other Disciplines, to be implemented from the 2002-2003 academic session. These are in accordance
to the “NORMS AND STANDARDS” of the All India Council of Technical Education.
MODE OF CURRICULAR PROGRAMME

A FIXED & LINEAR SEMESTER MODE is introduced in lieu of the FIXED & LINEAR ANNUAL MODE. The new Curricular
Programme consists of three parts, each part consisting of two semesters. Each semester consists of at least 15 contact
weeks excluding internal assessments, end-semester examinations, preparatory and other holidays.

DURATION OF PROGRAMME & ENTRY QUALIFICATION

The minimum duration of the full-time diploma programme will be three years after 10+ or entry qualifications as
approved by the AICTE from time to time.
CURRICULAR COMPONENTS OF THE DIPLOMA PROGRAMMES IN ARTS &

CRAFTS
The Diploma Programmes in Arts & Crafts shall consist of curricular component comprising courses in General Studies,
Applied Sciences, Basic Areas, Interdisciplinary Areas, Applied Areas (Departmental Core), and, Emerging Areas
(Electives).
General Studies
All disciplines shall contain courses in general studies and communication. These are related to supervisory /
management skills. Further, development of communication skills appropriate to functions of technicians and also
complementary to the main theme or disciplines of the respective programmes is considered. In addition, courses
offered include areas of social and economic concern like environmental protection, energy conservation, productivity
iv
and quality, safety and entrepreneurial development. A general course on computer literacy and computer applications is
essentially included.
Applied Sciences
Though the AICTE did not include this component in its recommendations for disciplines other than Engineering &
Technology, and as per the AICTE norms, Architecture and Interior Decoration, Handicrafts & Furniture Design falls
under the category of “Diploma Programmes in Arts & Crafts”, yet the State Council, on the recommendation of the
Board of Studies, includes this component in the curriculum of Architecture and Interior Decoration, Handicrafts &
Furniture Design keeping in mind the minimum entry level of the students. Courses under Applied Sciences include
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Topics for these courses are chosen depending on their requirement for study of
the Basic, Interdisciplinary and Applied Areas.
Basic Areas
Courses in Basic Areas include subjects like Engineering Drawing, Workshop Practice, Engineering Mechanics etc.
These will help in the study of the Interdisciplinary and Applied Areas, as well as to help the students to pursue higher
level of studies.
Interdisciplinary Areas
Though not included in the recommendations of the AICTE, the State Council, on the recommendation of the Board of
Studies, included this component, viz. the Interdisciplinary Areas for all categories of Diploma Programmes. Courses
included under this component in the Curriculum for ARCHITECTURE are subjects like Theory & Design of Structure,
Material Testing Laboratory, Estimation-Costing, Specification & Valuation; again, those for INTERIOR DECORATION,
HANDICRAFTS & FURNITURE DEIGN are subjects like History of Architecture, Contemporary Architecture , Estimation-
Costing, Specification & Valuation etc.
Applied Areas (Departmental Core)
These form the core studies relevant to the Discipline for which Diploma is awarded, and, are meant to develop
competencies required by the profession. One of the courses would be essentially Project work, which is intended to
provide opportunity for students to develop understanding of the interrelationship between courses and to apply the
knowledge gained in a way that enables them to develop and demonstrate higher order skills. Project work has been
given due weightage in terms of time and credit allocation. Industry-Institution-Interaction should be an integral
component of curriculum wherever possible.
Emerging Areas (Electives)
Courses under electives are offered to provide an avenue for limited specialisation in an area of the students’ choice and
should cover new and emerging areas. Examples of such courses are “Computer Aided Manufacture” (Mechanical),
“Process Control & Instrumentation” (Electrical), “Water Resource Engineering” (Civil), “Alternative Building Technology”
(Architecture), “Optic Fibre Technology” (Electronics & Tele-Communication Engineering) etc.

COMPONENTS OF THE CURRICULAR STRUCTURES FOR DIPLOMA COURSES IN

ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY
The curricular structures for the disciplines belonging to the “Engineering & Technology” category will have the same
‘Mode of Curricular Programme’ and similar ‘Distribution of Marks’ as those of the Arts & Crafts disciplines. But as per
the AICTE Norms and Standards, the difference of the Curricular Structures will occur only in the percentage of time
allocated towards the different curriculum components. These are illustrated in the detailed Curricular Structures of the
respective disciplines.
THE METHODOLOGY OF REVISION & UPDATION

At the onset, the Board of Studies made the following decisions regarding formation of the syllabus sub-committees for
preparation of the detailed curricular structure & syllabi of each discipline: —
(i) the convenors of each syllabus sub-committee were normally appointed from within the polytechnic system;
(ii) on receiving recommendations from each convenor, the other members of the syllabus sub-committees were
appointed and it was seen that each syllabus sub-committee consisted of academicians from the universities /
degree institutions, representatives from the concerned industries and the statutory councils (if any);
(iii) the syllabus sub-committees should first prepare the curricular structures and then they should detail the syllabi
of the different courses;
(iv) along with the curriculum, the syllabus sub-committees should also mention the equipments and the technical
personnel required for properly running the laboratory and other sessional classes.
Upon scrutiny of the curriculum submitted by the different syllabus sub-committees and making modifications wherever
necessary, the Board of Studies recommended the same to the West Bengal State Council of Technical Education for its
consideration and formal adoption.

PREFACE
The curricular structure and syllabi of the different disciplines taught in the 43 polytechnics affiliated to the West Bengal
State Council of Technical Education, 42 in West Bengal and 1 in Tripura, were last modified in 1994. The need for
updation was long felt. It was in early 2002 that the West Bengal State Council of Technical Education decided to go for
revision and upgradation. But this is not a mere exercise of updation, this is a total change of system; — a “Fixed &
Linear Semester Mode” is proposed in lieu of the existing “Fixed & Linear Annual Mode”. Based on the basic skeletal
curricular structure recommended by the State Council, the different syllabus sub-committees constituted were entrusted
with the responsibility of designing the curricular structure and syllabi for the respective disciplines. The Syllabus Sub-
Committee for the Discipline of Architecture stated their work with a meting of the Polytechnic-teacher members of the
sub-committee held on 28th / 29th October, 2002 at the office of the W. B. State Council of Technical Education at P-12
Darga Road, Kolkata – 700 017.
THE OBJECTIVE
At the onset, the sub-committee discussed the basic aim and objective of the entire exercise of curriculum and syllabi
development. A curriculum and its syllabi are fruitful only when it meets the requirement of the various job profiles. It was
observed that job profile of the Diploma Architects is basically limited to the following two types: —
(a) that of Architectural Assistants in the Architectural Farms, and,
(b) that of individual entrepreneurs, in basically the suburban areas.
It was identified that fulfilment of the above, warranty knowledge and skill in the areas of Architectural Drawing &
Graphics, Building Materials & Methods of Construction, Building Services & Equipments, History & Contemporary
Architecture, Building Maintenance, Professional Practice, Architectural Design, Working Drawing, Estimating-Costing
Specification & Valuation, and, Theory & Design of Structure. The necessity of thorough knowledge and skill in AutoCAD
was felt. In the suburbs of West Bengal the local masons, the Draftsmen passing from the ITIs and the Diploma Civil
Engineers act as if they are the chief architects; the Diploma Architects have to compete with them. They should be
technically and temperamentally competent to face this challenge.
One of the courses would be essentially Project work, which is intended to provide opportunity for students to develop
understanding of the interrelationship between courses and to apply the knowledge gained in a way that enables them to
develop and demonstrate higher order skills. Project work has been given due weightage in terms of time and credit
allocation.
While designing the new curriculum, the above mentioned objectives, as well as, the present scope of Lateral Entry into
the Second Year Degree classes were kept in consideration.
THE RFERENCES
In addition to the existing syllabi, the following were considered as references: —
(i) the Broad Guideline for allocation of time to the various components of curriculum as per the “Norms and
Standards of Technician Education” for the Diploma Programmes in Applied Arts / Crafts recommended by the
All India Council for Technical Education;
(ii) the Appendix - A to the Minimum Standards of Architectural Education Regulations, 1983 of the Council of
Architecture named "Courses, Periods of Study and Subjects of Examination of the Stage 1 - Basic Course”;
(iii) the previous syllabus of the Course offered by the Indian Institute of Architects for attainment of the AIIA;
(iv) the Curricular Structure & Syllabi of the Degree Course in Architecture offered by Jadavpur University, Birla
Institute of Technology, Mesra, Bengal Engineering College (a Deemed University).

ARCHITECTURE
THE PROCESS
Initially the detailed Curricular Structure was developed & finalised and then the detailed syllabus for each theoretical &
sessional course offered in the curriculum was prepared. To frame the curricular structure and the details of the course
contents of the core subjects, the committee organised a number of formal & informal meeting of the members of the
committee to form basic frame works of the curricular structure and the topics to be considered in the course contents of
the related core subjects. Resource persons were involved for formulation of draft syllabi of the subjects Theory of
Structure, Design of Structure, Material Testing Laboratory, AutoCAD Laboratory, and, Estimating-Costing, Specification
& Valuation. At every level, draft proposals were formally placed in meetings involving the teacher-members from
Government Polytechnics, and, the recommendation of these meetings were placed in the full-house meetings of the
Syllabus sub-committee for its consideration. The draft Curricular Structure and Syllabi, thus finalised, were placed for
the consideration and approval of the Board of Studies and for subsequent formal adoption by the West Bengal State
Council of Technical Education.

ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT WORK &

SEMINAR ON
ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT WORK
Courses offered in Part – III
OBJECTIVE
Project Work is intended to provide opportunity for students to develop understanding of the
interrelationship between different courses learnt in the entire diploma programme and to apply the
knowledge gained in a way that enables them to develop & demonstrate higher order skills. The basic
objective of a project class would be to ignite the potential of students’ creative ability by enabling them to
develop something which has social relevance, aging, it should provide a taste of real life problem that a
diploma-holder may encounter as a professional. It will be appreciated if the polytechnics develop interaction
with local industry and local developmental agencies viz. different panchayet bodies, the municipalities etc.
for choosing topics of projects and / or for case study. The course further includes preparation of a Project
Report which, among other things, consists of technical description of the project. The Report should be
submitted in two copies, one to be retained in the library of the institute. The Report needs to be prepared in
computer using Word and CADD software wherever necessary.
Seminar on Project Work is intended to provide opportunity for students to present the Project Work in front
of a technical gathering with the help of different oral, aural and visual communication aids which they learnt
through different courses in the Parts – I & II of the diploma course. In the Seminar, students are not only
expected to present their Project Work, but also to defend the same while answering questions arising out of
their presentation.
GENE RAL GUID ELIN E

Project Work is conceived as a group work through which the spirit of team building is expected to be
developed. Students will be required to carry out their Project Works in groups under supervision of a lecturer
of their core discipline who will work as a Project Guide. It is expected that most of the lecturers of the core
discipline will act as project guide and each should supervise the work of at least two groups. Number of
students per group will vary with the number of lecturers acting as Project Guide and student strength of that
particular class.
In the Part – III First Semester six sessional periods will be utilised for performing Project Work. In the Part
– III Second Semester, for the first twelve & half weeks the five sessional periods allocated to ‘Project Work’
along with the single sessional period allocated to ‘Seminar on Project Work’ will be together utilised for
74
Project work; whereas in the last two & half weeks of the Part – III Second Semester all these six sessional
periods allocated to ‘Project Work’ and ‘Seminar on Project Work’ will be utilised for performing Seminar. In
‘Seminar’ classes, all the teachers who are involved with imparting knowledge and skill to the students in
their “Project” classes should be present along with all the students.
