The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Painting and Sculpture is a four-year professional undergraduate programme designed for aspiring artists passionate about exploring and mastering traditional and contemporary art practices. This course provides a rigorous and dynamic curriculum that fosters creativity, technical proficiency, and critical thinking through hands-on studio work and theoretical engagement.
Students begin with foundational courses in drawing, design, and art history, and gradually progress to specialized training in painting and sculpture. The programme nurtures individual expression while grounding students in the principles of form, material, composition, and conceptual development. With access to well-equipped studios and mentoring by experienced faculty, students experiment with a range of media, from oils, acrylics, and watercolors to clay, wood, metal, and mixed media installations.
Through exhibitions, critiques, workshops, and collaborative projects, students gain exposure to diverse artistic approaches and professional practices. By the final year, they develop a personal portfolio and a capstone project that reflects their unique artistic voice and conceptual depth.
Graduates are well-prepared to pursue careers as practicing artists, illustrators, sculptors, curators, art educators, or continue with postgraduate studies in the Fine Arts.

Undergraduate students in their fourth year may choose to pursue either a capstone project or a research dissertation for upto 12 credits. The key differentiator between the two will be that in the capstone project, students will be expected to :
Associate with an industry/organisation during the winter break,
Identify a real-world problem in consultation with the host organisation, and
Develop and implement solutions as part of the Capstone project.
Course of Independent study is an avenue where students may take-up a real-world problem and propose solutions to the same through rigourous research and/or experimentation. Those who opt for a CIS credit will be expected to ready a publication-worthy research finding through the guidance of a faculty supervisor. The School will publish their list of projects/topics annually and students may opt for one of these.
