Craft Film School

CRAFT: - Distinguished Features

1.    Specialized courses- VS- mass communication : There are many institutes  which are offering 3-years mass communication bachelor degree  and 2-years master degree then why CRAFT decided to introduce one-year, full-time diploma program ? Today, we are living in an era of micro specialization. Besides FTII, SRFTII, & IIMC JNU, not many institutes offer specialization courses in media arts. Moreover, the usual intake of aspirants in so-called mass communication courses is 45-60, where imparting practical training is impossible. Most of these courses work on a run-of-the-mill theoretical syllabus devised by academic council members who has hardly any industry experience.
2.    Corporate Philosophy: CRAFT is an autonomous institute which not affiliated to any university nor approved by AICTE (they don’t recognize such courses!!!) We are non profit making organization operates on a corporate pattern rather than on a bureaucratic system. Which means, we respond to any e-mail query within 2-working days; we give our students visiting cards!! ; We are so flexible that even on  short notice we are ready to accommodate any workshop when any unexpected Bombay based professional happens to be in town .These are small thing but big things consist of many such small things.
