Animation & VFX Course for Gurdaspur Students — MITS Academy 2026
Gurdaspur district does not have a dedicated animation or VFX training institute. Students from Gurdaspur city interested in 3D animation, VFX, or related creative-technical careers travel to MITS Academy Amritsar — about 45 km away, roughly an hour by bus via the Gurdaspur–Amritsar highway.
MITS Academy's Amritsar centre (2nd Floor, SRK Mall, Mall Road) runs a full 7-month Animation & VFX programme built around the real production pipeline: Concept Art, 3D Modelling, Rigging, Animation, and Compositing. Students train on the same software used in the industry — Maya, Substance Painter, Houdini, and Nuke.
Because this is a hands-on, software-intensive course, Gurdaspur students generally plan around a consistent weekend or fixed-day commute rather than a fully remote schedule. This page is specific to Gurdaspur logistics — travel time, batch options, and where to look for the full curriculum. For the complete syllabus and fee table, see the main Animation & VFX programme page.

Fixed weekday batch
For students who can commit to a regular schedule, morning or evening batches are workable given bus frequency on the Gurdaspur–Amritsar route.
Attend in person for each new pipeline stage
