Eligibility

Who can apply?

We keep our eligibility criteria deliberately open. Filmmaking ability is not a function of your marks, degree, or country of origin. If you want to make films, apply.

Age

Minimum 17 years at the time of joining. No upper age limit — we welcome career changers and lifelong learners at every stage.

Education

Minimum 10+2 (Higher Secondary) or equivalent for the 3-year degree program. For the 6-month fast track, there is no minimum education requirement.

Language

Working proficiency in English or Hindi is required for instruction. Our faculty conduct sessions in both languages depending on the batch.

Background

No prior filmmaking experience or portfolio required to apply. We admit based on passion, intent, and potential — not previous credentials.

Nationality

Applications are accepted from students worldwide. International students are warmly welcomed and supported through the visa and relocation process.

Medical

Students must be in good physical health to participate in on-set production work, which often involves long shooting days and location work.
