Arena Chandigarh has declared open admissions for BSc (multimedia and Animation) offered through Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Chennai.
It is taking admission in 2 categories. Students with Classical Animation skills can opt for the special select batch being trained to work on classical animation projects. Theses students would be assessed on their sketching skills (portfolio), personal interview and a creative aptitude test. Those students who pass the test and enrol, would be trained in classical animation alongside their BSc Degree.
This is a unique proposition in which students with lesser skills have just one batch to take admission in. This is in line with the chandigarh centre management’s vision to give higher inputs in classical animation to a suitable qualified student. The aim is to create a student who is eligible to apply in some of the best studios of the world (those who have entry barriers for students without the classical animation skills).
The Chandigarh Centre has recently won Awards for Academic Excellence for the 3rd time in a row. Similarly, the chandigarh centre also won awards for overall Growth, Billing and Collections for 2009.
A fullday Hotline has been setup for outstation BSc Applicants - they can call +91-9872546753 to discuss their options and get Free career advice. Local candidates can walk in for a Free Career Counselling Session. You can call +91-172-2712812 to take a Free Appointment with the Career Counsellor.

S. Vijay Kumar, one of the students of Arena Chandigarh, was adjudged the All-India DAE Topper for 2008
Hailing from Lamdeng in Imphal, Son of a Government Employee, Soubam Vijay Kumar from ARENA Chandigarh Centre has been declared as the best DAE Student for the year 2008. 
Chandigarh was one of the first Arena centres to have launched the high-end DAE curriculum way back in 2005. During this period, Arena Chandigarh has produced some very fine artists who have joined the industry in India and Abroad.
The best DAE student Award is declared based on the overall weighted marks (minimum being 75%), which is taken into consideration for deciding the DAE Certificate Grade.
Vijay had come all the way from Lamdeng, Imphal (West District), with only one vision in his mind - to pursue animation education at Arena Chandigarh 17. He says,”Way back in 2005, when DAE course was just launched, I had come to know that it was being offered only through Chandigarh and Chennai centres. I opted for Chandigarh since I was sure that I would get more personal attention here - as animation is new in North India.”
Vijay is the son of Soubam Kulabi Singh, who is Manager, Loktak Power Station, N.H.P.C.
