The programmes are open to anyone who has passed their HSC exams, and the fees (starting at '8,000) are lower than the long-term courses.
“We constantly receive requests from all over the country to conduct such courses which we do as per the availability of time, teachers and infrastructure on our campus,” says DJ Narain, director, FTII. he adds that these programmes are popular among students who are unable to clear the entrance exam for the long-term courses or don’t have the requisite time.
Dr Iftekhar Ahmed, Dean --TV of FTII, said, “Earlier we just had two short-term courses on Videography, but we had to increase their number to four due to the huge demand for them; in fact there is a waiting list of students for such courses. Specialisation is very important and with these courses, you can specialise in TV, news, live broadcast, short films or documentaries as per your liking.”
The short-term courses can also be tailor-made to suit the demands of the professionals who want to study in a stipulated time-frame. Some of the students include print and broadcast journalists and independent television producers. Besides, there is 100% placement in this course. The starting salary for them is '2,000 per shift and if your work is good you can earn up to '20,000 per shift.
