BEGINNING JANUARY 1, students keen to master the art of animation can look out for a Diploma in Engineering Animation programme, to be launched by the advanced animation academy, Toonskool, at the Nitte Institute of Technology in Bangalore and Mangalore. One hundred students will be admitted to each batch. Under the programme, students will be trained to be industry-ready with script-to-screen strategy. "The focus will not be just on animation tools. Using studio-ready software, we plan to create a pipeline of students who are ready to enter the industry," the school's co-founder and director, Ashwin Ajila, said. The school also has a short-term three-month course and an 18-month extended programme in animation at its Mangalore centre. Although animation has emerged as a high potential Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) area, there are only about 5,000 trained animators in India. By 2008, the country will require almost three lakh animators, according to a NASSCOM survey. Mr. Ashwin said animation had applications in almost all fields, particularly in medicine, architecture, and marketing. "Animation does not mean only cartoon network anymore. The range is enormous." For details, call 51252872 or email: ashwin@toonskool.net.

IT WAS fun, frolic and fiesta at the S.R.N. Adarsh College as the students came alive to the info-entertainment game organised by the college recently. The game featured a questionnaire on the college campus, faculties, lecturers, and classrooms, which the students had to fill up within a given time. Among the questions posed were "Which class has the maximum number of students," "How many computer labs are there in your college," "What is room number 68" and more. The game included activities such as meeting five new faculty members of other departments and listing specific details about them. Final year BBM students, second semester M.Sc (Biochemistry) students and second year PUC students were declared co-winners among the 24 classes that participated.
