The requirements for BSc Visual Communication (VisCom) generally expects students to have attained at least a 10 2 level of qualification from a certified board. Students from all three Streams: Science, Commerce and Arts are eligible, although having an Arts, Media or Computer Science background is an advantage. Most colleges and universities set a cut off percentage which is normally between 45 to 60 percent of certain grades. Some reputable institutions may further evaluate the creative ability and communication of the candidate through an interview or a written test.
In addition to the academic credentials, a keen interest in media, design, and communication Is highly appreciated. Some colleges may prefer candidates who already possess working knowledge of photography, information technology, animation, and graphic design. Admission is sometimes granted where there is visual, imaginative skill coupled with technical know how. Because VisCom involves practical and theoretical theories of media, advertisement, and art design, a student who possesses keen observation and creativity may find this course suitable.
