P. A. Inamdar College of Visual Effects, Design & Arts is one of the leading college of higher education in the Maharashtra, India and in 2015 became an ISO 9001-2008 accredited institute. The college makes every attempt to synergies this into the education process with an efficient teaching staff that ensures academic excellence.

We are a ‘Knowledge Community’ which encourages partners, faculties, students, past students and parents to involve themselves fully in all aspects of college life and to identify themselves with its core values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Cooperation and Achievement. Our college is large enough to provide a broad and differentiated curriculum that caters for varied interests and abilities in the area of Art, Animation, Design and Visual Effects.

I am justifiably proud of the fact that in a short span our college has grown from strength to strength. In addition to a steady increase in the number of students, we also have an ever-increasing number of subjects and courses at both the UG & PG levels. These are recognized by Universities and Autonomous bodies of repute.
Our degree program in Media Graphics & Animation (Graphics Design, Web Design, Animation & Visual Effects) is approved by the Universities Grants Commission (UGC). Our students pursue their interests and achieve their personal best. We are proud of our record and our success in helping students achieve their dream placements once they leave VEDA College.

The academic life at college is designed so as not to limit learning in classroom boundaries. Our students involve themselves in hosting our flagship programs like Akhil Bhartiya Kala Gaurav Samman, Pune Animation Film Mahotsav, annual cultural gathering “Kalotsav” and many more. These co-curricular activities allow our students to learn management skills, life skills, team building, cultural ethics, planning skills, and most importantly, leadership skills.

We expect high standards in all that we do at VEDA College. We encourage our students to aim for excellence in whatever they like to do, work hard and learn life skills to be a real asset to the country.
