Game Technology

Learning beyond the Walls

This advanced skill building course on game technology is conducted through different teaching methodologies that insist on intense practice, building professional perspective, and incorporating innovation. The classroom sessions along with seminars, workshops, outdoor learning sessions, showcasing events, and more help the students in their professional practice

The systematic way of research, analysis, and reporting of any topic related to each module increases the knowledge stack of the students.

Professionals from reputed organizations associated with ICAT share their knowledge, skills and industrial processes with our students through seminars, workshops, and interactive sessions.

Sharing ideas with like-minded people set the spark in you to a fire. We encourage our students to involve in group discussions with peers, in a guided environment that helps students learn to give a concrete shape to their ideas.

Students constantly experience fresh inputs that trigger their creativity. They are taken outdoors for field research and artistic inspiration.

Industrial visits to game studios and related companies give the students the clarity on what exactly happens in the industry and what will be expected from them.

The students of Game Design and Development showcase their works to general audience and to professionals to get their feedback. This helps the students to understand the expectations of the target audience and the industry, and groom accordingly.

Individual projects help students decide on, discuss, and implement their ideas. This enables them to identify and take forward their specialist area of interest, and to organise their efforts in achieving the set goal.

The curriculum at ICAT insists students to take up an internship in any related organization to get a clear and early insight of the industry, and build confidence to take up a career.
