16 MONTHS · MOBILE FIRST
Design and build mobile games
You know exactly why one mobile game keeps you and the next one loses you in ninety seconds.
Proof in 30 seconds
Mobile is where most of India's game production happens, and its limits on memory, heat, touch input and player retention are harder than console in several ways. 388 hours on Unity, Maya, Substance and Photoshop, including the retention and monetisation models art-only courses skip.

Is this you?
Tap whichever of these already sounds like you — there's no right answer.

Month 6
A complete gameplay loop with UI, progression, and a tested first ninety seconds.

Fees & EMI
Fee shared at counselling
This course's fee is confirmed one-to-one so we can factor in any scheme discount you're eligible for. Nothing is hidden — ask and we'll share it immediately.
This course runs 16 months at 388 hours of CareerX training, offered in weekday, weekend, evening and fast-track batches so it can sit alongside school, college or a job — pick whichever mode fits your week.
AI has changed these tools, not removed the need for people who understand story, composition, timing and craft — this curriculum teaches those fundamentals alongside the current AI-assisted tools of the trade, so graduates direct the tools instead of being replaced by them.
Most of this catalogue is a software and production craft, not a drawing exam — modelling, compositing, editing, level design and design tools are all taught from first principles. Where a course does lean on drawing (character design, storyboarding), it starts from basic shapes and construction, not raw talent.
Class 12 passed.
