TechCadd's 2D / 3D Animation in Amritsar is aimed at students who have just finished 12th — whatever they have or have not done before. The early modules cover Principles of Animation, Drawing & Storyboarding and 2D Motion Graphics, so nothing later assumes knowledge you were never given. From there you take on Character Rigging in 2D and 3D Modelling Basics. The second half is where it turns practical: you work in After Effects, Blender, Adobe Animate, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Audition the way a team actually does, against briefs that carry a real deadline. Each module ends in something you have built and a trainer has reviewed, so you finish with a portfolio, a CV built around it and interview practice for 2D Animator, Motion Graphics Designer and 3D Generalist (Junior) roles.

A counselling call maps your background against the syllabus before you commit to anything. It takes about twenty minutes.
Book a counselling callStudios hire off a reel, and a reel is judged on movement rather than render quality — so the fundamentals of timing and weight come before any software feature.
The 2d / 3d animation programme runs across 1 year at TechCadd Amritsar and is built for students who have just finished school — no degree, no prior experience and no coding background assumed. Two hours a day, five days a week, in batches small enough that your work is looked at individually.
You can take it as a standalone career course, run it alongside a degree in the evening or weekend batch, or use it to fill a drop year with something a recruiter will actually read. Whichever route you take, the finish line is the same: a certificate, 3 reviewed projects and a portfolio you can talk through in an interview.
Principles of Animation is where the 2D / 3D Animation track gets its footing. You work the concepts in the lab first, then carry them straight into the running project rather than leaving them as isolated exercises.
A reviewed piece of work demonstrating timing and spacing and anticipation and follow-through.
Fundamentals, vocabulary and the first working artefacts. Nothing is assumed; everything is implemented.
Modules 01 – 03
The professional middle of the course. Real tooling, realistic inputs, and mentor review on every submission.
Modules 04 – 06
Depth, deployment and the capstone build that becomes the centre of your portfolio and your interview answers.
Modules 07 – 09
Finish this 2d / 3d animation programme and you leave Amritsar with more than a certificate from your 12th year: a reviewed portfolio, an internship letter where the track applies, and a first role that is realistic rather than aspirational.
Every tool below is installed, configured and used by you during the course — not demonstrated on a slide. You leave able to set up your own environment from scratch.

There is no entrance test and no prerequisite degree. What the programme does assume is that you will show up for the full 1 year and do the project work.
The programme assumes nothing beyond a 12th pass and comfort with a computer. You start at the actual beginning of 2d / 3d animation, and by month three you are working on a brief rather than an exercise.
Two hours a day fits either side of a college timetable. You graduate with a 2d / 3d animation portfolio already built instead of starting one after your final semester.
An empty year reads badly on a CV. A certificate, 3 reviewed projects and an internship letter turn it into something you can explain in an interview.
Bring the business you already know and layer 2d / 3d animation onto it. Students in this group usually apply the first two modules inside their own shop or unit before the course has ended.
Job titles vary by company, but the underlying expectations do not. Each destination below maps to work you will have already done during the programme.
Each project is reviewed individually, and the review notes go into your portfolio documentation.
A 60-second explainer from script and storyboard through to sound-designed final cut.
A modelled, textured and lit product render sequence built to client-approval standard.
A cut reel of your best work, ordered and paced the way studios expect to receive it.
A certificate answers what you can do today. This is the honest answer to what 2d / 3d animation looks like three to five years out, and why the fundamentals this course spends real time on are what carry you there.
The 1 year programme is built around the part that is genuinely in your hands — and you leave holding all of it.
A reviewed portfolio, an industry-recognised certificate and a fundamentals-first foundation you can keep building on. Markets move, as they always have; that foundation is exactly what lets you move with them as design and media work around you keeps shifting.
Two decades of training in Amritsar, in a format that has not changed since: small batches, real projects, mentors who still work in the field.
Your mentor works in 2d / 3d animation for a living. The examples in class come from that work, and so do the shortcuts.
Batch sizes are capped so a raised hand gets answered in the session it was raised in, not weeks later.
Every submission comes back annotated, line by line. The notes are the point — they are what you carry into the interview.
We teach After Effects, Blender, Adobe Animate and refresh the list each intake, because a stale stack is worse than no stack.
Morning, evening and weekend tracks, classroom or live online, with recordings either way for revision.
Resume and portfolio review, mock interviews and hiring-drive access — and it does not stop the day the course ends.

I joined the 2D / 3D Animation batch with almost no background, and what made the difference was that principles of animation was taught by building rather than by slides. By the third week I was debugging my own code instead of copying someone else's.
The project reviews are the real value. My 3d product turntable was picked apart line by line, and those notes are exactly what I ended up talking through in the interview that got me a motion graphics designer offer.
Weekend batches meant I kept my job through the whole 1 year. Anything I missed got re-explained without fuss, and lab access outside batch hours was never a problem.
Audition and the rest of the stack were set up on day one, so no week went into environment issues. Batches are small enough that a doubt gets answered the same day instead of piling up.
I had tried learning 2d / 3d animation on my own twice and stalled both times. A fixed batch in Amritsar, a mentor who checks your work and a deadline on every module is the only reason I finished.
Placement support was not just a line on the brochure — resume and portfolio review, two mock interviews with people who do the job, and a referral into one of the hiring drives.
The syllabus is current. We worked in Premiere Pro rather than the older tooling most 2d / 3d animation syllabi around here still teach, and that came up directly in my first interview.
The balance of theory to lab time is about right: enough to understand why something works, then straight into building. I left with 3 projects I can demo, not just a certificate.
If something here is not covered, the Amritsar desk will answer it directly — no call-back queue.
Yes. The entry requirement is 12th pass, any stream, and there is no entrance test. Admissions run through the year rather than in a single intake window, so you can start in the gap between your result and college admissions closing.
Type, layout, colour and print production, taught against real briefs with a critique session every week.
6 monthsCut, grade, mix and deliver — long form for YouTube and vertical edits for the feeds that actually pay in Punjab.
4 monthsResearch, flows, components and handoff — design a developer can build without asking you twenty questions.
