In the ever-evolving realm of animation and visual effects, the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) introduces a groundbreaking opportunity for aspiring artists from Northeast India. The newly unveiled “3D Animation & VFX Program” promises not just an education but a transformative journey into the world of digital creativity.
Application and Selection Process:
Aspiring candidates are invited to submit their applications, bearing in mind that submission does not guarantee selection. The final decision hinges on the Online Creative Aptitude Test, scheduled for 3rd February 2024. A nominal non-refundable application fee of ₹1000/-, along with applicable taxes, is to be paid during the submission process.
Commencement and Duration:
The program is set to kick off on 15th February 2024, with a duration of 12 months.

The coursework is meticulously designed, encompassing 390 hours of theory and an extensive 630 hours of practical sessions.
Eligibility and Logistics:
This unique opportunity is exclusively open to individuals hailing from Northeast India. Notably, candidates selected for the inaugural program in New Delhi are ineligible for this round. Once selected, participants will embark on a residential program in Bengaluru, featuring complimentary food, accommodation, and a laptop. However, students are responsible for their travel expenses to and from their home states.
Responsibilities and Commitments:
Candidates are expected to attend lectures regularly, maintaining a minimum of 90% attendance. In the event of dropping out during the course, participants must return any provided assets, including laptops. The management reserves the right to modify rules and regulations at their discretion.
