Here for your reference I am giving you the syllabus of Bachelor of Architecture:

First Year First Semester:
EVOLUTION OF ARCHITECTURE-I:

a) Definition of Architecture and architect. The origin of architecture and its development as a profession. Practice of the subject in the contemporary period. General pieces of service as provided by an architect. Relationship of the subject with various other interdisciplinary subjects. Relationship of the profession with the other related professions. Architectural education – scope and objects.
b) Influences governing the development of architecture. General - physical, emotional and intellectual; Natural - climate, topography, vegetation, available materials; Man - social, culture and religious attitudes; Technological - intellectual advancement, Progress in science& technology, construction, materials etc.
c) Development of Architecture from caves and huts of prehistoric era. Principles of layout of Vedic villages to mounds, mausoleums, stupas and such structures as were developed in the Indus Valley, Egyptian, Mesopotamian and South-east Asian regions. Renovated natural caves of the Buddhist period as methods of obtaining large internal spaces. Examples are to be presented as expressive forms of attitudes towards greatness, fear, pride, possession, protection, seclusion etc.
d) The Earliest Remains of Indian Architecture -
- The Earliest Temples of India,
- Early and Later Dravidian Temples,
- The Temples of Orissa,
- Islamic Architecture in India,
- Influence of Western Architecture in Indian Architecture;

DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS:
a) Definition of Design. Comparison between designed and non-designed objects. Appreciation of design criteria; Orientation of design (general) process.
b) Visual properties of two-dimensional forms of both geometric and nongeometric surfaces - Line, Shape, Form, Figure-ground relationship, Direction, Contrast. Visual textures and tonal variations - colour, contrast, brightness, hatch etc. applied to the above exercises.
c) Principles of two-dimensional compositions - Spatial tension, Likeness basis, Balance, Movement, Scale, Proportion, Rhythm Dominance and Subordination.
d) Principles of three-dimensional composition - Form, Mass, Volume, Scale, Surfaces of solids, Voids, Planes etc. their combination, variation, assimilation, orientation etc.
e) Elementary principles of Architectural Design on the basis of structure, function and aesthetics.
f) Structure- mechanics of load distribution, tension, compression, stress, strain (visual and conceptual), nature of materials for architectural uses.
g) Function - Anthropometrics, circulation, light, ventilation, basic services and utilities.
h) Aesthetics - composition, form, volume, mass, etc. with site and landscaping.

MATERIALS AND METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION-I:
a) Materials of building construction: Sources, general & special characteristics. Composition and physical and chemical properties of building materials. Behaviour towards environment. Prospective areas and locations of use of building materials. Advantages and disadvantages of use of various building materials. Sustainability of use. Materials in combination and use of the same in buildings. Innovative use, Variation in use and study of alternative building materials.
b) Introduction to various fundamental tools and instruments used in building construction.
c) Basic methods of taking measurement of building works.
d) Elaboration on various established methods of construction related to different materials and their comparison; Study of characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, needs and usage of various methods of construction.
e) Upgradation, modification and revision of various methods of construction
f) Natural materials : Brick, Stone and Timber - characteristics, needs and properties.

STRUCTURAL MECHANICS-I:
Equilibrium of forces ; concurrent forces ; composition and resolution of forces; Polygon of forces; analytical and graphical methods, Bow's notations and vector diagram; Parallel forces; Moments; Couples; Maxwell's diagrams; Trusses of simple nature' Definition of' statically determinate and indeterminate structures; Controid and centre of gravity - applications; Moment of Inertia; Section Modules. Tutorial Problems with application shall be worked out.

MATHEMATICS-IA:
Successive differentiation, Rolles Theorem (Statement only), Mean Value Theorem Taylor’s & Maclaurin’s expansions. Indeterminate forms, Maxima and minima of functions of a single variable; Partial differentiation. Integration by the solution into partial fractions; properties of definite integrals; Definite integral defined as the limit of a sum. Fundamental theorem of integral Calculus. Important Integrals, Beta and Gamma functions; Areas bounded by Improper plane curves and straight lines; Lengths of plane curves; Surface areas and volumes of solids of revolution; Multiple Integrals and their applications in calculation of areas, volumes etc. Numerical Integration by Simpson’s Rule.

DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY:
a) Geometry and Graphics in architecture. Drawing point, line, polygon, circle, ellipse and other geometrical forms (manually or with computer graphics or both);
b) Principles of Orthographic projection and other projection systems; Principles of projection of lines; Isometric and Axonometric views; Sciography.

FREEHAND DRAWING:
- Techniques of drawing lines of various gradations and inclinations
- Finding Visual proportions and principles of perspective
- Free-hand drawing of simple objects in single and group formation
- Free-hand drawing of simple furniture
- Outdoor sketching of natural objects/ buildings/ any relevant structure, etc.
- Study on shades and shadows, on contrasts of light and on textures.
