Dedicated 24/7 high end animation labs are not officially structured as always open spaces, but access is usually extended during capstone phases based on project needs. At LPU, labs are well-equipped with industry software and support intensive work, which helps in portfolio building and practical exposure. The advantage is strong infrastructure and guidance, while the limitation can be restricted timings at times. Overall, it supports serious project work with a career focused approach.

There are currently 60 seats available for the Animation and VFX program. Because the number is limited, the selection process can be quite competitive. It is advisable to submit a strong application or portfolio to improve your chances. Artemisia College of Art and Design keeps the BDes batch sizes small to ensure each student gets enough attention from the faculty.
