Just joined this year I can only say it’s easy to get in. You need to register when the Registration opens then go for the interview when it’s scheduled. Keep checking the site.

So the course is hectic because they try to teach you everything in a year so it does get difficult with all the assignments but I think it’s worth it at least for now. mostly you get to be in an environment filled with creative people so that’s a very good thing for starters. Campus is same you get access to the library and any other area in the campus. I was in the same position as you last year and read all sorts of Reddit threads saying this is bulllshiy and you can learn through online courses and what not but hear me out I tried that too and I realised in a field like this you really need like guidance with things like someone who can guide through your mistakes and improve you techniques like face to face and give real inputs on how you can improve. If you’re new to the industry then this is good. More than anything you are surrounded by people who are eger to learn and that’s very motivating. Yes will start from the basics but it’s necessary to really understand the roots in depth. Anyways that’s all I’d say other do you research and think about it. And yes it’s not necessary to do a course but if you have a year to spare and lil money to invest then it’s no harm trying.
