IAM is the Institute of Animation and Multimedia — a school in Punjab for people who want to make things move, and make things you can play. Students learn the craft from working artists, on studio pipelines, and leave with a reel that speaks for itself.

02Philosophy
Animation ismotion, nota slideshow.
A character has weight, timing and a reason to move. That is the difference between a reel that gets skipped and one that gets a call back. We teach the principles first, then the software — because tools change every year and the principles don't. Pick one to see it drawn, and to see where it comes from in real life.
24 fps
Principle 01 · Squash & stretch
A shape flattens when it lands and stretches when it moves fast, while keeping the same volume. It is what gives an object weight.
What to watch
Watch the ball and the player's legs: both compress on the way down and extend on the way up.

08Campus
A studiothat teaches.
Since 2012
IAM started with one classroom, a handful of workstations and a simple idea: teach animation the way studios actually make it.
Our faculty are working artists. Our labs run the same software and render pipelines you'll meet on your first job. Batches stay small so every student gets their work reviewed, every week.
Stage one
Learn the fundamentals.
Drawing, timing, composition and the software itself. Small batches, daily feedback from working artists.
Stage two
Build the reel.
Studio-style projects with real briefs and real deadlines. Every student finishes with a portfolio they can defend.
Stage three
Get hired properly.
Portfolio reviews, mock interviews and introductions to our studio partners. We stay reachable after you graduate.

Yes. Films, OTT platforms, games, advertising, e-learning and social media all need animated content, and studios across India keep hiring skilled artists. A strong portfolio matters more than a degree.
No. Drawing helps, and we teach it from the basics, but many roles in 3D, VFX, editing and motion graphics depend more on timing, observation and practice than on sketching talent.
Anyone who has passed 10+2 in any stream can join our programmes. Graduates and working professionals who want to switch careers are welcome too.
Yes. Our placement cell runs portfolio reviews and mock interviews, and introduces graduating students to studios, agencies and production houses.
