Five reasons, in plain language
Why serious students choose Arena Animation Park Street.
Park Street is not another web design institute in Kolkata. It is run like a working design studio — and it publishes what most institutes keep vague: fees, placement names, and faculty history. Five reasons, in plain language.
01
Max 8 students per batch.
The single biggest reason students progress faster. Individual code reviews, design critiques on your actual screens, and mentor attention — instead of being one face in a room of thirty.
02
You leave with a live website, not just a certificate.
Every web programme ends with a deployed website project and a portfolio on Behance and Dribbble. Employers in Kolkata ask “show me what you’ve built” — students here have an answer with a URL.
03
Faculty who did the work before teaching it.
Every faculty member meets the 5-5 rule: minimum five years in industry and five years teaching. The UI/UX and web track is led by a mentor with nine years across industry and web mentoring.
04
Park Street, literally.
105 Park Street, next to St. Xavier’s College, five minutes’ walk from Park Street Metro. The same address since 1998 — reachable from Howrah, Salt Lake, Dum Dum, and South Kolkata by metro.
05
Government-recognised certification.
All programmes are MESC / Skill India certified under the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) — a government-backed credential from the Media & Entertainment Skills Council. The centre is also an Autodesk Certified Centre and was the first ISO-certified Arena centre in India.
In an industry where portfolio and practical skills matter more than certificates, Park Street is built around outcomes — not just course completion.
★ WCEL Best Centre · 2026
Ranked first among
small-batch Arena centres
in India.
n 2026, Arena Animation Park Street received the Best Centre recognition from the World Creative Excellence League in the Level 3 category — separately from high-volume institutes. Among all small-batch centres across India’s 200+ Arena Animation branches, Arena Park Street ranked first. The institute did not apply. The recognition came from a year-long evaluation of training quality, placement outcomes, and student work across all disciplines — animation, VFX, and design.

Web Design, Web Development, UI/UX — What’s the Difference, and Which Should You Learn?
Park Street is not another web design institute in Kolkata. It is run like a working design studio — and it publishes what most institutes keep vague: fees, placement names, and faculty history. Five reasons, in plain language.
Web design is deciding how a website looks and works for the person using it — layout, colours, typography, and responsiveness across phone and desktop. A web designer in Kolkata typically works in Figma for design and HTML5, CSS3, and WordPress to build. It is the most direct route into paid work.
Web development is building the website so it actually functions — writing the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, setting up WordPress, and deploying the site live. Front-end development (what Arena teaches) is the visible half. A front-end developer takes a Figma design and turns it into a working website.
A UI/UX design course teaches how digital products — apps, websites, software — are researched, structured, and designed. UX (user experience) covers research, information architecture, and wireframing; UI (user interface) covers screens, design systems, and prototyping in Figma. Arena’s 8-month programme covers both, plus the front-end skills to build what you design.

The short answer
90% of Arena Park Street graduates who complete the curriculum, maintain attendance, and submit a finished portfolio are placed within three months. The centre has documented 72 placements between 2019 and 2026 — 40 of them in 2025–26 alone — across 57 studios and companies. Recent web and UI/UX placements are listed below by name.

The honesty block
Arena does not guarantee placements. No honest institute can. What it does guarantee is this: every student who completes the curriculum, maintains attendance, and submits a real portfolio finds employment within three months. That is not a marketing promise. It is the consistent outcome of 28 years of running this model.
For students — and the parents paying
Is Web Design and UI/UX a Real Career in India?
Yes. Every business that sells anything in India now needs a website and an app interface — and someone has to design and build them. Web and UI/UX roles exist in IT services, startups, agencies, and as freelance work for international clients. The constraint is not demand; it is the shortage of candidates with real portfolios.
Force 01
Force 02
Sector V and New Town house IT services and product companies hiring web and UI/UX roles locally — students do not need to leave Kolkata to start.
Force 03
Web design is one of the few skills a Kolkata student can sell to clients in the US, UK, and Australia within months of finishing — the web programme’s career launchpad module (LinkedIn and Upwork) exists exactly for this.
For parents
For parents: this is a technical, employable skill with a government-recognised certification (MESC / Skill India, NSQF), taught at a centre that has operated from the same Park Street address since 1998 and publishes its placement record by name. Visit the centre, meet the faculty, and ask to see the placement table before deciding.

What Does a Web Designer or UI/UX Designer Earn in Kolkata?
Entry-level web designers and UI/UX designers in Kolkata typically start between ₹10,000 and ₹25,000 per month, moving to ₹3–6 LPA at mid-level and beyond ₹8 LPA at senior product-company level. Freelance and remote work for non-Indian clients pays above local rates. Starting pay depends more on portfolio quality than on certificates.

Institutes that promise every graduate a high starting salary are describing their best case as their average. Arena publishes real placement names instead, and discusses realistic salary trajectories openly in counselling.
Our Faculty
Taught by people who built digital products for a living
Faculty experience determines whether a student finishes a course or builds a career. Every Arena Park Street faculty member meets the 5-5 rule — a minimum of five years of professional studio experience and five years of teaching. Both, not one or the other.
01
UI/UX & Web Development Faculty
Chowdhury
2D animator at Green Gold Animation on Chhota Bheem, then Fountain Pixels in Pune. Later storyboard and character design lead at Mayabious Art, Kolkata. Teaches pre-production, character design, storyboarding and the 2D animation foundations every Park Street student starts with.
02
Motion Graphics & Design Faculty
Nandi
Sayani began her career as a graphic designer at GetBengal. She later taught graphics, film and animation at IIDAA before working as a senior designer at Hi Tech Animation. Her combined industry and teaching experience helps students understand design in real project environments — at Arena Park Street she leads the Visual Design & Branding and Motion & AI Creativity terms across the DCC, NGVDMG, and NGGVD programmes.
03
Pre-Production & 2D Animation Faculty
Biswas
2D animator at Green Gold Animation on Chhota Bheem, then Fountain Pixels in Pune. Later storyboard and character design lead at Mayabious Art, Kolkata. Teaches pre-production, character design, storyboarding and the 2D animation foundations every Park Street student starts with.
Inside the training process
Built to run like a real web agency
01
Hands-on classes, not lectures.
Every session is at a workstation, in Figma or the code editor, on the student’s own project.
02
A workstation per student, licensed software.
Individually licensed tools — students train on what agencies actually run, plus one year of Adobe Creative Cloud access included.
03
Weekly design and code reviews.
Faculty review actual screens and actual code every week — the agency habit that free tutorials can’t replicate.
04
A live deployed website before graduation.
The web programmes end with a real website project, built and put online; the UI/UX programme ends with app case studies and interactive Figma prototypes.
05
Design presence from day one.
Portfolios go onto Behance and Dribbble as they’re built, and the web track includes a career launchpad module covering LinkedIn and Upwork — for jobs and for freelance clients.
06
A standard week: 3 sessions · 6 hrs/week.
Designed to fit alongside college or a job.
Original proof — real projects only
Recent student work — from wireframe to live site

Graphic Design Courses in Kolkata
Five programmes, one question:
where do you want to be in three years?
Design is not a single skill. It is an overlapping family of crafts — brand identity, motion graphics, UI/UX, web design, content production. Different students enter at different points. Some want the broadest possible foundation. Some want a focused, fast specialisation. Some want design with web development. All five paths below are graphic design — they differ in scope, duration, and in what the portfolio will look like at the end. Most graphic design courses in Kolkata teach the discipline as a single track; Arena Park Street’s five graphic design programmes in Kolkata teach it as a family of overlapping crafts across one DCC pathway.
In one sentence — what do you want to make?
“I want to make all of it — brand identity, motion graphics AND UI/UX, with AI tools in the mix.”

The stack
The tools employers actually list in job posts. Taught the way they’re used.
Figma is taught across all three programmes — UI screens, components, interactive prototypes — and every graduate leaves with Figma projects in their portfolio and a MESC / Skill India certified credential.
★2026, honestly
AI hasn’t replaced web designers. It changed what employers expect them to know.
AI tools are now standard in web and product design workflows — generating layout options, cleaning up code, and accelerating wireframes. Employers hiring in 2026 want designers who can direct an AI workflow with craft, not operators who only follow tutorials. Every programme on this page integrates AI tools: ChatGPT and Flux Playground in the web track, Gen AI design tools across UI/UX.
Students learn when to use AI and when to do it by hand — the judgement is the skill.
Hands-on Gen AI sessions
Generative AI workshops run multiple times a year at Park Street — walking students through real-time AI integration into design workflows. Demos from agencies and brand teams currently using these tools in production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Web design course fees at Arena Animation Park Street range from ₹56,640 for the 6-month Next-Gen Web Design & Development programme to ₹1,13,516 for the 13-month Next-Gen Graphic Design & Web Development programme — all inclusive of 18% GST, plus ₹1,500 registration. Instalment plans start at ₹13,300. The full fee table is published on this page — nothing is gated behind a form.
The Advanced Program in UI UX Design costs ₹92,040 inclusive of 18% GST, plus ₹1,500 registration — or ₹13,300 to start and 5 monthly instalments of ₹16,803 (total ₹95,816). The 8-month programme covers UX research, Figma, design systems, front-end development, and AI tools, and is MESC / Skill India certified.
Yes. Eligibility for all three programmes is Class 10 pass — students can join straight after Class 10 or 12, alongside college, or as working professionals switching careers. Arts, Science, and Commerce streams are all eligible. There is no entrance exam and no portfolio requirement. Admissions are rolling, with new batches starting every two weeks.
No. All three programmes start from zero — design principles and web concepts first, then Figma, then HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript taught step by step. Students who have never written a line of code build and deploy a live website by the end of the web programme. UI/UX students learn front-end development after the design foundation is in place.
A UI/UX design course teaches how apps and websites are researched, structured, and designed. At Arena Park Street this means: design principles, colour and typography, UX research, information architecture, wireframing, UI design systems and Material Design, app screens and interactive prototypes in Figma, front-end development, WordPress, and AI design tools — ending with a portfolio on Behance and Dribbble.
Web design is how a website looks and works; web development is building it in code; UI/UX design is the research-driven design of digital products like apps. They overlap, and Kolkata employers often mix the titles. Arena’s web programme covers design plus front-end development; the UI/UX programme covers product design plus the front-end skills to build it.
Learn the foundations (HTML5, CSS3), master the tools employers list (JavaScript, Bootstrap, WordPress, Figma), build real deployed projects, publish your work on LinkedIn and GitHub, and interview with a portfolio. Arena’s 6-month web programme compresses this into 126 hours with a live website project and a career launchpad module — eligibility is Class 10 pass.
Yes — every product company, agency, and startup needs interfaces designed, and the field pays for portfolio quality rather than degrees. Arena alumni hold senior product roles: a Senior UX Designer at HCL Technologies and a Frontend Lead at NetBramha among them. The honest caveat: the field rewards strong portfolios, which is what the training is built around.
No — and no honest institute can. What Arena guarantees is this: 90% of graduates who complete the curriculum, maintain attendance, and submit a finished portfolio are placed within three months. Recent placements are published on this page by name — Natasa Parvin (WordPress Developer, Festoon Media) and Purba Sarkar (Front-End Designer, Digital Exposure Online) among them. Placement support starts on day one.
Yes. All programmes are MESC / Skill India certified under the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) — a government-backed credential from the Media & Entertainment Skills Council (NSDC). Arena Park Street is also an Autodesk Certified Centre and was the first ISO-certified Arena Animation centre in India.
Yes — Figma is taught in all three programmes: UI screens, components, design systems, and interactive prototyping. Students finish with real Figma projects in their portfolios. There is no separate short Figma-only course; Figma is taught inside the full programmes because employers hire for complete skills, not single tools.
Yes — the web design programme includes a career launchpad module covering LinkedIn and Upwork specifically. Web design is one of the few skills a Kolkata student can sell internationally within months of finishing. Centre alumni already serve clients in the US, Canada, and the UK.
For students who want small batches, published fees, named placements, and government-recognised certification, Arena Animation Park Street is the strongest choice: 8 students per batch, 28 years at one Park Street address, MESC / Skill India certification, 4.7★ across 369+ Google reviews, and a placement record published by name. Visit the centre, then visit two other institutes and ask each for the same published data. The differences become clear within an hour.
For most beginners, yes. Online courses teach software; they rarely provide weekly personal code and design reviews, accountability, peer collaboration, or placement support. Arena’s model — 8 students per batch, a workstation each, faculty who review actual work weekly — exists because those are the things that get beginners to employable, and they don’t survive translation to recorded videos.
No — but it has changed what employers expect. AI now accelerates layout, code, and wireframing, so juniors are expected to produce more, faster, with judgement about when to use AI and when to work by hand. Every Arena web and UI/UX programme integrates AI tools (ChatGPT, Gen AI design tools, Flux Playground) directly into the workflow.
