CSMU B.Sc Multimedia: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. B.Sc (Multimedia) is a science-based degree that covers a broader range of multimedia technologies including animation, video production, web design, and digital photography, with a stronger technical foundation. B.Des (Graphic Design) is a design-focused degree with a 4-year duration and a higher fee structure (Rs. 1,50,000/year), emphasising visual communication and design principles. For a career specifically in 3D animation and VFX, B.Sc (Multimedia) provides a good technical base, while B.Des may be better for those focused on visual design and branding. Both programmes include mandatory internships.
