Hence the focus is always to create the sound design and the software is employed to achieve this purpose.

The internal and external faculty members train the students both theoretically and practically. The external faculty members are mostly successful professionals from television or film industry. These professionals also organise workshops on music recording, location recording, live recording for television shows, track laying for fiction films, mixing etc.
