I have completed my 12th HSC comm and want to pursue animation as career plz tell me which courses should I do , colleges , fee range etc

Hello Ashish,

The best way to pursue a career in animation is by getting a graduate degree or diploma in animation. But a graduate degree in animation is not very prevalent in India yet and only very few institutes offer this course at present. On the other hand, a host of institutes are offering diploma courses in animation. A Bachelor in Fine Arts (BFA) is also a very important course to step in the animation arena. A bachelor’s degree in animation and the BFA are three-year courses whereas the diploma course in animation varies in the range of six-months to one-and-a-half-years.

For doing a diploma or degree in animation, the eligibility criteria include a 10+2 from a recognized board with at least 45% marks.

There are no special subjects that are needed to be studied at this level. But aptitude in sketching, drawing and deep interest in computers is always considered essential to gain entry into the animation industry.

Depending upon the institution and the course you select the fee can cost you anything between Rs.50,000 to Rs.2,00,000.

Animation is among the most creative courses and has a great scope. The best college for animationis AAFT school of animation . The college is offering a number of courses in animation like B.sc in animation +diploma in 3d animation ,b.sc in multimedia. And you can also join IILM University.

Hope it helps you.
