this have also expanded.
The curr iculum developed responds to these aspects and being learner centric, requires
appropriate implementation support like required infrastructure including lecture halls and
studios equipped for the use of ICT and Software Labs equipped in particular with Ear th
Analytical software like GIS, Grasshopper, and Rhino etc.
M. Arch (Landscape) is a two years (four semesters) full time programme leading to Masters
Degree in Architecture, conducted as per choice based and Credit system.
