Bachelor’s degree program in Multimedia and Animation (Four Years)

[Under University of Calcutta]

Animation department was first established in St. Xavier's College (Autonomous) Kolkata, in the year of 2007, in collaboration with Toonskool Advanced Animation Academy, Bangalore.

After thinking about the potentiality of this course St. Xavier's College (Autonomous) Kolkata wanted to start an animation department, exclusively under its own super-vision.

Hence, to start afresh, including the design of the syllabus, St. Xavier's (Autonomous) Kolkata was waiting for the approval from Calcutta University. After major inspection by Calcutta University we were able to start an UGC recognized 4-year design course named B.M.M (Bachelor in Multimedia with specialization in Animation). An admission test was conducted in which 140 students appeared, out of which 45 students qualified and now they are a part of the Xaverian family. Last two remaining batches of Toonskool, the 4th and 6th semesters are yet to complete their course.

St. Xavier's College (Autonomous) Kolkata is the first college in Eastern India to provide a course which revolves around art, graphic designing, communication designing, film making and all the aspects of film making.

Already a short film by three of our students was featured at 16th, KOLKATA FILM FESTIVAL. We are hoping that this course would prepare individuals who in turn would make great achievements in future.

Objective:
Globally there is a continuing increase in companies who are in need of capable professional designers who can embrace design, visual, ergonomic with a competent application of technology and an appreciation of the social and commercial constraints to create attractive advertising and informative visual communication at all levels.
