Animation
In Affiliation with Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth (TMV) • Master 3D Animation, VFX & Design in just 24 Months
The Opportunity Has Never Been Bigger
India's animation industry is booming with OTT platforms, gaming, and global outsourcing driving demand. But studios can't find graduates who are actually ready to work. This Diploma closes that gap — fast.
Your Entry Point into the Animation Industry
The Diploma in Animation is a 2-year, 4-semester program affiliated with Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth (TMV) — a UGC-recognised Deemed University. Designed for students who want a focused, practical path into the animation industry without the longer degree commitment.
Across four semesters, you build up from the ground — starting with sketching, character design, and pre-production fundamentals, progressing through 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, and animation using 3ds Max, and finishing with advanced topics including dynamics, VFX, editing, and a 3D short film project.
Every semester is hands-on. You don't just learn tools — you build a portfolio piece by piece, culminating in a complete 3D animated short film by the time you graduate.
