PREFACE
In the modern age, academic edification is not enough to enable students
to compete with self-assurance and reach his/her ambition without having
experience with the real world related applications. Internship is highly
needed to expand idea, familiarity and experience. Internship is required
in order to fulfill the undergraduate requirements. In my sense, every
modern business organization should have an inclusive structure for
preserve their entire organization.
The following report describes the activities carried out during a 16- week,
full-time internship at Nikhil Vidya, Architects. The report contains
information about the organization and the responsibilities performed

of an Architecture student.
The first part of the report offers an overview of the organization, followed
by the working plan initially agreed upon with the clients and furthermore
approved by them. Following, it proceeds to describe in some detail the

PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF INTERNSHIP


In our study period mainly we gain theoretical knowledge but now a day,
in the job market is no substitute for principle work experience. Getting
meaningful work experience in ones major field of study or career interest
should be a number one priority a vital par of college education.
At the beginning of the internship I had set several learning goals
regarding the improvement of practical knowledge and skills. During my
stay several activities have contributed to achieve a number of goals.
This is the beginning of a students professional career.
- The students competency and efficiency in the working environment can be
assessed from this course
- Teaches the student to take up the responsibility and pressure of work
- Teaches the student to learn from work
- To help students enhance their creativity and efficiency in dealing with projects
related to their field of study.
- To evaluate the persons ability to communicate and under pressure, if required.
- To increase the confidence level students, which would help them work after
graduation.

The job required me to present preliminary designs, 3D drawings,


presentation drawings, working drawings, detail drawings, client meetings
and site visits.
My firm experience includes large and mostly small scale projects. Areas
of experience have included residential Buildings, Public space
development, commercial interior & residential interiors. Services
provided include master plan, conceptual designs, construction details,
working drawings and monitoring services.

Internship Activities
I mostly focused on the job responsibilities allotted which included
- preliminary designs
- cost analysis
- 3D drawings
- presentation drawings
- working drawing
- detail drawings.
Apart from this, I frequently accompanied my mentors to the site to
supervise and analyse the work. The objective of these visits is to gain on
site knowledge and experience. Moreover, I have been to a Municipal
Corporation with the Principal Architect. I also help to find appropriate land
spaces form old (1991) and new (2034) development plans (mcgm) .

ROLE OF INTERNSHIP FOR FINAL YEAR


This Internship was a unique opportunity to step into the world of an
international, architectural and practical environment and learn how it
functions day to day. It taught me how to deal with problems on the go,
enabled me how to home my organizational and administrative skills and
work on some of the projects.
The internship experience has given me an overview of the step by step
process in managing a project as a whole. The dynamic and disciplined
working environment has proved to play a pivotal role for my further
projects.
Internship provides aspiring architects an essential, hands-on opportunity
to experience the actual practice of architecture. With accredited
architectural education serving as the foundation, internship provides a
structured environment where theory and precedent can be applied to
actual projects, and knowledge of materials and systems is transformed
into thoughtful construction details. The findings of the Practice Analysis
will be used to ensure the internship experience is viewed by educators,

interns, supervisors, and the profession as a valuable step in the


development of the next generation of practitioners.
This internship has given me new insights and motivation to pursue a
career in Landscape and public space architecture. This is due to working
on a project which involved Landscape norms, Public activities,
methodology, and new ideas and thus I would like to apply this piece of
knowledge in the thesis to be worked upon. It also helped me to gain
practical and on site knowledge apart from theoretical part.
To prepare myself for my future career I can improve several things. I can
work on my communication skills so that I am able to present and express
myself more confidently.
it was a good opportunity to put in practice and develop further
negotiation and organizational skills. It was a great opportunity for
developing personal networking activities and making contacts which may
prove of value in the near future.

Thank you !
