With high-end infrastructure, qualified mentors, regular projects, workshops and placement assistance along with the scope of availing scholarship, we are inviting the young and creative minds to avail the assistance for our industry-centric course materials and the guidance of proficient teachers for indulging in their artistic acumen and make this world a bit more colorful.
Why animation and film academy in North Bengal?
KPMG India-FICCI Indian Media and Entertainment Industry Report mentions that the animation and VFX industry has experienced a growth of 16.4% in 2016, creating exponential job prospect for students from this field. With channels like Sonic, Nick and companies like Netflix investing in India, the young and creative minds are finding opportunities to transform their passion into profession.
While the rest of India is grabbing this prospect with almost 906 animation colleges, the status of North Bengal is not quite satisfactory. Despite the fact that we have an abundance of talents and creative minds, this lack of educational opportunity is forcing our youngsters to migrate. In such a context our institute is a dependable friend, philosopher and guide for students to pursue animation and related courses and avail the opportunity of grabbing lucrative professional scopes.
Future Prospect
Despite the late entry in India, the industry of animation is experiencing a commendable growth and ready for a prolonged period of expansion. The more exciting fact is that the industry is offering employment to thousands of 2D and 3D animators each year with the scope of outsourcing projects for giants like Disney and Pixer.
Now, if you want to be more specific, students have got the option of working in industries like Advertising, Online & Print Media, Film and Television, Cartoon Production, Video Gaming, E-Learning and many more. Be it a Storyboard Artist, 2D/3D animator, Modeler or a Rigging Artist, these are only a few examples of your job prospects in both government and private media houses. You can also work as freelancers if you love to take challenges and have the entrepreneurial acumen.
Campus Placement Opportunity
We are presenting campus placement opportunity for the students. We have all the arrangements of inviting the coveted organizations and organizing campus placement events for serving our students with lucrative professionalopportunities. We have collaboration with various companies from different industries and we believe on extending meaningful assistance to students to build their career.
