FAQs

Common questions about Gaming.

Got something not covered here? Our admissions team responds within 24 hours, Monday – Saturday.

Do I need coding experience?

No. Unreal Blueprints (visual scripting) is taught first. Unity introduces basic C#. The art-led tracks need almost no code.

Should I learn Unreal or Unity?

Both are taught. Unreal is dominant in AAA and high-fidelity work; Unity dominates mobile and indie. You will end up specialising based on your portfolio direction.

Is the Indian gaming industry hiring?

Strongly. India is one of the fastest-growing gaming markets globally, and studios across Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad are actively hiring artists and technical artists.

What’s the difference between Game Artist and Technical Artist?

Game Artist focuses on asset creation. Technical Artist bridges art and engineering — shaders, tools, pipelines. Tech Artist roles tend to pay more and are in higher demand.

Will I ship a real game by the end?

You will ship a small playable build as part of your capstone — not a commercial title, but a portfolio-strength playable that studios use to evaluate you.

Is the course on-campus?

Yes — all sessions are on-campus at our Mira Road East studio.

When does the next batch start?

The next intake begins July 2026. Speak to admissions for an earlier seat.
