(Candidates offering Technical Drawing are not eligible to offer Technical Drawing Applications.) Aims: 1. To develop competence among the students to pursue technical courses like Engineering, Architecture, Draftsmanship Surveying and other professional courses. 2. To understand basic principles of instrumental drawing drawn to scale and to acquire basic skills in the use of traditional drafting methods which would also be helpful in understanding computer aided designs. 3. To acquire the basic knowledge in their applications in various fields.
