About Us

Zee Institute of Creative Art (ZICA) is the nation's first full-fledged Classical and Digital Animation Training Academy and is a division of Zee Network Education Group. It was set up in 1995 and is backed by the ZEE group. ". It is an institute which dares to call itself an institute of creative arts, rather than just a school of animation or a multimedia institute. This is only to highlight the fact that ZICA strongly believes in instilling a sense of aesthetics, craft in its students, than just teaching them softwares. The entire animation industry is well aware of these facts and that is why there are job vacancy ads (by companies like TATA) which say that preference would be given to students from J J School of Arts/National Institute of Design/ZICA. The best part about the entire course curriculum is that it has been designed by practicing industry professionals, so it has a production oriented angle to it."
