Animation institutes in Pune. Please advice.

[Sukarn]

I want to join an animation institude in Pune, Maharashtra. In the long term I want to go for 3D animation for movies or animation for gaming.

Could you people please suggest any institute in Pune (preferably) or in any other part of India?

I don't want to go to any place in South India because of language problems that might crop up, and the distance from my home town (Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh)

There is MAAC and Arena Multimedia in Pune.

Unfortunately, I seem to be too late for that institute. They say on the front page that the last date of submission of application form for entrance exam was on the 28th of May.

Also, its the first institute I've seen that offers a five year course for animation in India.


Thanks for the suggestions, casanova and Rudick.

I had heard about Arena and MAAC, and I was considering joining Arena, but I do not know which center in Pune has good teachers in either institute. Because of the different faculties in different centers, there is a difference in the teaching level of each center of each institute, and I'm at a complete loss about which center is better when it comes to Arena (I don't know how many centers it has in Pune) and MAAC (four centers - Dhole Patil Road, Jangli Maharaj Road, MG Road, Aundh).

There is a center of MAAC in my hometown as well. I tried visiting it, but it has been only a couple of months since that center opened up, and the faculty there still seem to be under some training as they were unable to answer all of my questions.
