Here's my experience as a student. I think the Animation labs at Chandigarh University are great.We get to work with software like Maya and Photoshop. The department has labs, like 2D and 3D labs and even a Motion Capture lab. This setup helps us work on projects. I like that we do studio-based learning. The infrastructure is modern. We focus on projects, which helps us build creative skills. These skills are needed in the animation and gaming industry. The information I shared is about Chandigarh University's Animation & Multimedia department. It is based on their facilities and lab infrastructure.
