B.F.A. (Painting) First Year BFA Painting Syllabus - Mumbai University

This is the University of Mumbai syllabus for the B.F.A. (Painting), the Revised Course in force from the academic year 2004-2005. It is still the current scheme: MU has never revised it, the University's own Faculty of Fine Art register still lists this degree as Ordinance O.5310 under Circular No. UG/210 of 2004, and the syllabus below is what MU's Summer 2026 examinations were set on.

The B.F.A. is a four-year degree examined once a year, not by semester — MU has never semesterised it. The University of Mumbai sets and conducts the Second Year and Final Year examinations itself; the First and Third Year examinations are conducted by the college, on this same syllabus.

These are the subjects the University sets for the First Year of this degree. 12 are taught and 8 are examined; the other 4 are marked "Not for examination" in MU's own Education Pattern table and are carried here because MU publishes a full syllabus for them. The First Year examination is conducted by the college recognised by the University of Mumbai.
