Frequently

India produces over 1,800 films per year across languages. The rise of OTT platforms (Netflix, Prime, Disney+, ZEE5) has dramatically expanded demand for directors, cinematographers, editors, and producers beyond Bollywood and regional film industries.
A B.Sc. in Film & TV Production is a hands-on, production-focused degree with studio access, real shoots, and equipment training from Year 1. Media / Mass Communication degrees are broader and more theoretical. PID’s programme is for those who want to make films and TV content.
While the degree covers the full pipeline, students naturally develop a specialisation by Year 3 through project work and interests. The graduation film in Year 4 lets students work in their area of strength within a collaborative production team.
