About ZICA Noida Diploma Compositing

Zee Institute of Creative Art (ZICA) Noida offers the Diploma in Compositing as a full-time course on its Sector 16A campus. The course takes 6 months, a 0.5-year program, and teaches compositing work only: rotoscoping, chroma keying, tracking and paint. ZICA has taught animation and visual effects since 1995, and Collegedunia lists Tata Elxsi, Byju's and Vistaprint among the companies that hire from the campus. The full course fee is INR 17,400 and there is no entrance exam, so a Class 10 pass and basic computer use are enough to join. The institute publishes no average pay in LPA, no placement rate and no seat count for this course, so ask the campus for its own record.

ZICA Noida Diploma Compositing Fees

You pay one course fee for all 6 months. The campus has no hostel, so a student from outside Noida also pays for a PG room and food. Nothing else is listed as refundable.

PG room and food	INR 42,000	About INR 7,000 a month for 6 months

NIRF	2026	Not ranked

ZICA Noida Diploma Compositing Course Structure

The 6 months go into one skill: putting shots together. The course teaches 4 main software tools, and you build shots in each part before moving on.

Part	What you learn
Rotoscoping and paint	Cutting an object out of a shot and taking out wires or rigs
Chroma keying	Removing a green screen and adding a new background
Tracking and stabilizing	Matching camera moves so an added part sits in the shot
2D and 3D compositing	Joining layers, 3D renders and live footage into one shot
Software	Nuke, SilhouetteFX, 3D Equalizer and the Houdini to Nuke pipeline

Should you pick Diploma Compositing at ZICA Noida?

This course suits students who want one visual effects skill fast and can pay for a short private course themselves.

Pick it if:

You want one skill fast: this diploma teaches only compositing, from rotoscoping and keying to tracking and paint.

You want the tools studios use: the course is taught on Nuke, SilhouetteFX, 3D Equalizer and the Houdini to Nuke pipeline.

You are counting the cost per month: this is the shortest and the cheapest course on the campus's own course list.

You are paying the fee yourself: send the state scholarship form early, because the money comes back only after the department checks your papers.

Skip it if:

You want to see a placement record first: the institute publishes no average pay and no placement rate for this course.

You need a hostel: this campus has none, so you would pay for a PG room and food in Noida.

You want a degree at the end: this is a short private diploma, not a university degree, so a college seat is a different plan.

You cannot travel to Sector 16A: classes are held on the campus and this course is not taught from home.

Counsellor's advice

If you want a compositing job and can pay this fee yourself, join the next batch and send the state scholarship form in the same week. If you want a degree or a placement promise, keep looking.

Will you get a seat at ZICA Noida?

Pick what you have finished at school. There is no entrance exam for this course, so the rule is short.

What you have finished

Passed Class 10Passed Class 12Still in Class 10

Passed Class 10

Yes, you can join. A Class 10 pass is the only school rule the institute publishes for this course.

Passed Class 12

Yes, you can join. Class 12 adds nothing to the fee or the batch, but it helps if you later want a degree.

Still in Class 10

Not yet. You can join only after you pass, so ask the campus to keep a place in a later batch.

EDITOR'S NOTE

Marks are not the real gate here, the batch is. Ask which batch still has places before you pay, because a small batch fills in days.

In short

Arena Animation Noida teaches compositing over 11 months and charges much more for it. If you want the cheapest way into compositing, take ZICA Noida; if you want a longer course with more software, look at Arena Animation Noida.

In short

MAAC Noida does not publish a fee or a length for a compositing only course. If you want a published fee before you decide, ZICA Noida is the safer pick; if not, ask MAAC Noida for its own fee sheet.

In short

Frameboxx Noida publishes no fee for a short compositing course either. If both campuses offer you a batch this month, compare the fee in writing before you pay ZICA Noida or Frameboxx Noida.

In short

Picasso Animation College Noida keeps its course fee off its public pages. If you want to know the full cost before you decide, ZICA Noida prints it; ask Picasso Animation College Noida for the same in writing.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on ZICA Noida Diploma Compositing

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

How do I get admission to this course?▾

Send the enquiry form on the institute site or walk into the Sector 16A campus. The campus gives you a counselling call, then a place in the next batch. There is no entrance exam.

What is the full fee for the course?▾

The whole 6 month course costs INR 17,400. That is the only fee the institute publishes for this diploma. A PG room and food in Noida would add about INR 42,000 more.

How long is the Diploma in Compositing?▾

It takes 6 months of full-time classes on campus. In that time you cover rotoscoping, keying, tracking and 2D and 3D compositing on Nuke and three more tools.

Do I need Class 12 to join?▾

No. A Class 10 pass and basic computer use are enough for this diploma. Class 12 helps only if you later want a degree course somewhere.

Is there a hostel at the campus?▾

No. The campus has no hostel, so a student from outside Noida rents a PG room nearby. The fee block above shows what that adds to the full cost.

Which scholarships can cut this fee?▾

The state post matric scholarship and the central PM-USP scheme are the two the calculator above checks. Both need your course to be listed on their portal, so ask the campus for the listing before you count on the money.

Does the institute publish placement numbers?▾

No. It publishes no average pay and no placement rate for this course. It does list companies that hire from the campus, so ask for last year's names and roles at the counselling call.
