Frequently asked questions

Can I learn both Graphic Design and Video Editing?

Yes — and many MITS students do. Graphic Design first (6 months, strong foundation), then add Video Editing in year 2. Combined skills make you a full creative suite freelancer.

Which has more demand in Amritsar and Jalandhar?

Both are in demand. Graphic Design for print, packaging, and digital agencies. Video Editing for social media marketing agencies — demand has tripled with Instagram Reels and YouTube growth.

Do I need any prior art or design skills?

No. MITS starts both courses from absolute zero. Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and AI tools are taught from scratch. Creative instinct develops through practice — no prior drawing skill needed.
