FAQs

Why Should I Choose Arena Park Street Over Other Arena Centres?

  • For over 28 years (since 1998), Arena Animation Park Street has built deep trust with students and parents across Kolkata and beyond. We don’t just teach software — we prepare you for real studios.

    Here’s why serious students and parents consistently choose us:

    • Regular industrial visits to leading animation & VFX studios across India, giving you direct exposure to professional workflows.
    • Strong campus placements with top companies — we’ve placed over 6,000+ students till date. Our placement record has earned us the Highest Placement in India award five times.
    • Best infrastructure in the city: Every workstation features latest Intel i7 processors, RTX-enabled NVIDIA graphics cards, 16GB+ RAM, and SSD drives — studio-grade hardware that matches actual production pipelines.
    • Highly experienced faculty: Most have real industrial credits from studios like Prana, Green Gold, Xentrix, DQ Entertainment, and Hi-Tech Animation. They are Adobe, Autodesk, and Unreal certified.
    • India’s #1 small-batch Arena centre: Maximum 8 students per batch — this is non-negotiable. Personal attention, detailed feedback, and proper learning of complex tools like Maya, Houdini, and Nuke.
    • Personalized masterclasses, placement bootcamps, portfolio guidance, and soft-skills training for better job outcomes.
    • We believe in complete transparency. No paid celebrity awards or false claims — only genuine, verifiable recognitions (ISO 9001:2008, National Skills Qualification Framework, WAVES & ASIFA honours, WCEL Best Small-Batch Centre 2026, etc.).
What is the course fee?

The money that you spend for the program is not a cost and should be treated as an investment in your future. We have many investment options which varies depending upon the course and the plan chosen.

One can pay the entire amount in advance or opt for convenient installment schemes (there is one to match everyone’s need).

The exact investment can be calculated once you decide on the course.

Our experienced counselors will guide you to select the best investment option.

Can I get a loan to pay the course fees?

Yes, absolutely. We have tie-ups with leading financial partners including Bajaj Finance (0% EMI), West Bengal student credit schemes, and major credit card EMI options.

  • Quick approval mostly on PAN & Aadhaar only.
  • Parents, guardians, or relatives can also apply.
  • Zero interest options and no down payment in many schemes.
  • Our counsellors will guide you through the entire process smoothly. Call 9007063660 today for instant assistance.
What study materials and facilities will I get?

All relevant e-books, video tutorials, and resources are provided free to bonafide students. With our Online Varsity platform, you get 24×7 access to e-books, expert chat, resources, and academic guidance.

We also maintain a well-stocked physical library with books, periodicals, films, and DVDs for your reference

How good is the placement support at Arena Park Street?

Extremely strong. Over the past 28 years, we have successfully placed thousands of students in leading animation, VFX, gaming, and design companies across India. Many of our alumni have worked on global projects including Life of Pi, Jungle Book, Guardians of the Galaxy, and more.

Our dedicated Placement Cell works throughout the year on:

  • CV building & showreel guidance
  • Interview preparation & mock sessions
  • Regular campus recruitment drives
  • Industry networking
  • Post-placement follow-up and job upgradation support

90% of our students get placed within 3 months. The real question is not whether you will get placed, but how strong your portfolio and skills become through consistent hard work.

What starting salary can I expect after completing the course?

Starting salary depends on your skill level, portfolio quality, dedication, and the company you join. Our recent graduates have received offers ranging from ₹15,000 to ₹35,000+ per month at entry level.

Many students start between ₹1.8L – ₹3L per annum. With 2–3 years of experience, this grows significantly to ₹4L–₹6L and even higher for talented professionals.

We focus on building strong portfolios so you can target better studios and faster growth.

Are your courses recognised by UGC or AICTE?

Arena (Aptech) is a leading skill-based training institute, not a university. Our professional diploma and certificate programmes focus on industry-required skills, which matter most in animation, VFX, and gaming careers.

However, our B.Sc. programme is UGC recognised.

In the creative industry, your demonstrable skills and portfolio are what ultimately get you selected — not just paper degrees.

 

What extra-curricular and non-academic activities do you offer?

  • We strongly believe in the all-round development of our students. At Arena Park Street, we ensure at least 3 events or activities happen every month so students stay engaged, creative, and industry-ready.

    Creative & Technical Activities:

    • HAT-Trick seminar series
    • Annual Student Exhibition – Drishti
    • Annual Student Fest – Pratibimba (a vibrant celebration of creativity, performances, and talent)
    • Gaming Competitions (regular intra and inter-college events)
    • AI Classes & Workshops (emerging technology sessions on Artificial Intelligence in animation & VFX)
    • Sand Animation, Clay Animation, Stop Motion, and Paper Animation workshops
    • Studio Visits to leading production houses
    • Masterclasses by visiting experts from NID and top studios

    Non-Academic Activities:

    • Annual Picnic
    • Personality Development & Spoken English classes
    • Field study trips
    • Cultural celebrations and team-building events

    These activities keep our students motivated, help them build friendships, and develop both creative and professional skills.

Do you offer Career and Personality Development support?

  • Yes. All students can join regular Personality Development and Spoken English classes organised by our Placement Cell. These are conducted by experienced visiting faculties and help you become more confident for interviews and workplace success.

     

Can I get extra classes and machine time?

  • Definitely. Our Academic Head can arrange extra classes at no extra cost whenever needed. Ample additional computer time is available for practice — you can book slots conveniently.

    Our faculties are accessible both offline and online. We also have active online forums, blogs, and social channels (including Facebook) where you can post queries and get expert guidance quickly.

     

Are the faculties the same in all Arena branches?

No, not at all. While Aptech provides broad guidelines, each centre recruits and develops its own faculty based on local standards. At Park Street, we maintain one of the strictest selection and training processes in the country.

Our faculties:

  • Have actual industry experience of minimum 5+ years in their respective domains (Maya, 3ds Max, After Effects, Nuke, Houdini, Unreal Engine, etc.)
  • Undergo rigorous testing and continuous assessment
  • Receive regular training and upskilling
  • Are chosen for both technical expertise and genuine teaching ability

We ensure we have dedicated experienced faculty for each domain, unlike some other centres where a single recent graduate or intern is expected to teach everything. This focused expertise helps our students learn properly and gain real confidence in every tool and subject.

This is one of the main reasons we have consistently won national awards for faculty quality and academic excellence.

 

Is Park Street the main head-office/ branch?

All Arena Centres in India are owned by franchisees and there is no Main Centre of Arena.

Some centres are likely to mislead you into believing that they are the “Main Center” or the “Biggest Center” or the “Head Office” in order to attract your business.

You should beware of such centres and take an informed decision about your future.
