Bengaluru, (Karnataka) [India], August 29, 2025 – In a bold move that redefines creative education in India, JD Institute of Fashion Technology and JD School of Design have launched a series of pioneering programs in the field of digital design and experience. Marking a national first, these programs are uniquely crafted to bridge the gap between creativity and emerging technology, equipping students with future-ready skills and the confidence to lead in evolving creative industries.
JD Institute of Fashion Technology has launched three intensive one-year professional diploma programs in VFX & Compositing, Animation & Multimedia, and Web Design & Development. Designed for aspiring digital artists, developers, and creative technologists, these programs aim to deliver industry-relevant skills in a compact, practice-focused format. Whether it’s blending real and imagined worlds through post-production, bringing characters to life through animation, or building user-friendly websites, students gain access to both foundational techniques and cutting-edge tools that are shaping the design industry today.
Taking its vision a step further, JD School of Design has introduced two groundbreaking undergraduate degree programs: Bachelor of Digital Design & Experience in Animation & Multimedia and Bachelor of Digital Design & Experience in Immersive Design. These three-year degrees are tailored for students who want not only to work in digital media but shape the way people experience design in virtual spaces, on screens, and beyond. The Animation & Multimedia degree emphasises visual storytelling, motion graphics, and multimedia projects across entertainment, gaming, advertising, and digital platforms. On the other hand, the Immersive Design program focuses on the evolving fields of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), spatial interaction, and digital environment creation. As design, technology, and storytelling converge, these undergraduate degrees are created to equip students not just for the demands of the industry today, but for what comes next.
“These are not degree courses but innovation incubators for students and professionals alike,” said Mr.NealeshDalal, Founder at JD School of Design and Managing Trustee at JD Educational Trust. “It doesn’t matter how many years you’ve spent studying in today’s competitive age, but how equipped you are to innovate, solve, and contribute to a world-first digital era. AI, virtual reality, real-time rendering, and interactive storytelling are not trends; they are changing industries. Our students are not only being taught design tools; they are being prepared to innovate, lead, and transform in a rapidly changing digital world.”
JD Institute of Fashion Technology and JD School of Design’s foray into the digital domains is a well-planned and strategic move following over three decades of brilliance in innovative learning. With a reputation for creating intellectual capital in fashion, interiors, communications, and jewellery design, JD has always been one step ahead by introducing cutting-edge, forward-thinking courses.
The degree and diploma programs are the culmination of JD’s integrating ideology, which brings together design thinking, technical knowledge, and practical experience. The programs are ideal for new students beginning a creative career, freelance practitioners who need to build or refine their digital portfolios quickly and efficiently, and mid-career professionals who seek a career transition.
Applications for all programs are open now. Anyone willing to lead the next generation of design learning, whether in VFX, animation, web development, or immersive spaces, is encouraged to join and become part of a community that is designed to boost careers and fuel innovation.
