Which facilities and infrastructure should I be looking for while selecting the best institutes for courses in animation?

1. Animation course content: Students looking for a quick route to the animation industry are often lured by the "short-term" courses that claim to teach the nuances of animation over a short span of a few weeks. You should make sure that the college you choose offers quality content that teaches all aspects of animation. An education in animation is quite different from simply learning about animation software. However, you should also confirm if the institute teaches the basic tools and software required by animators. 2. Quality of faculty: Take your time deciding if your teachers are qualified and experienced enough to mentor and train you for the next few years. In medical education, the best surgeons train the medical students in surgery techniques. The field of animation is no different. You should learn from the best and preferably with people who have had industry experience doing the real thing. 3. Placement facilities: The job placement facilities of a college can directly reflect on the quality of the education it imparts. Having professional animators as faculty may also play an important role in the institute's track record for placing students. You can talk to former students or final year students and understand the college's reputation in the animation industry. Find out if the college alumni are well-placed in the industry. A good alumni network and industry connections may prove invaluable once you graduate with a degree in animation. 4. College infrastructure: You should visit your shortlisted animation institutes and take a tour of their campuses to get an idea about the quality of their infrastructure-computer labs, library, classrooms. Find out if the institute provides internship opportunities or workshops with animation studios or film production houses.
