LPU - Lovely Professional University Courses

Admission to animation courses at LPU is generally based on 10+2 or graduation marks plus performance in LPUNEST or other recognised design‑focused entrance tests, depending on the level of the programme. The curriculum is structured to blend creative fundamentals with advanced 2D–3D animation, VFX, and motion‑graphics work, using industry‑standard tools and live projects. This mix helps students build strong portfolios and practical skills, which support better industry fit and career outcomes after graduation.

Yes, graphic design is part of LPU's animation programmes, but it is covered as a supporting skill rather than a separate focus. Along with animation and VFX, the course includes elements like visual design, 2D graphics, and digital illustration, which are useful for building animation and multimedia work.

This mix helps in understanding both the creative and technical side of design, especially when working on projects and visual storytelling.

LPU offers different paths for students interested in animation, depending on the level of depth they want. The B.Sc. in Animation and VFX Design is a three-year undergraduate programme divided into six semesters. If you prefer a more design-focused approach, the B.Design (B.Des.) in Animation and VFX takes four years to complete. For those who have already finished their graduation, LPU also provides a two-year M.Sc. in Animation and VFX Design. Each of these full-time, on-campus programmes is structured to take students from basic drawing skills to advanced digital production. 

For animation courses like B.Sc. or B.Des. in Animation and VFX Design at LPU, candidates need to pass 10+2 with 60% aggregate marks in Physics, Mathematics, and English (or equivalent). English requirement can be waived if studies were in English medium. Admission depends on qualifying LPUNEST, JEE Main, or CUET scores. A 5% relaxation applies for North-East states, Sikkim, defence dependents, or Kashmiri migrants. This setup ensures a solid foundation for creative tech skills.
