Should you pick BFA at Jain University?

This course suits students who want to make art or design for a living and can study in Bengaluru for four years.

Pick it if:
You want a design or animation job: the school lists graphic designer, animator, illustrator and art curator as the main jobs this course leads to.
You are not sure which art form fits you yet: year 1 is common, and you pick one of six specialisations only in semester 3.
You want to study in a big creative city: the campus is in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, a city with many design and animation studios that take interns.
You may need to stop early: you get a certificate after year 1, a diploma after year 2 and a degree after year 3.
Skip it if:
You want a clear placement record before you pay: JAIN publishes no BFA placement figures, so ask for last year's internship list first.
You may change your mind after classes start: JAIN returns no fee on or after the day classes start, so decide before that date.
You are paying from savings: the fee is INR 6 Lakhs, and entry design jobs usually pay INR 3.5 to 5.5 LPA.
You want a rank for the art school: NIRF ranks the whole university, which moved from 65 in 2024 to 62 in 2025.
Counsellor's advice
If you want a design job and can pay INR 6 Lakhs, take an early JET phase. Ask for last year's internship list before you pay the admission fee.

FAQs on Jain University BFA

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is BFA at Jain University worth the fee?▾
It depends on the job you want. The full fee is INR 6 Lakhs without hostel, and entry design jobs like graphic designer usually pay INR 3.5 to 5.5 LPA. JAIN does not publish BFA placement figures. If you are paying from savings or a loan, ask the school for last year's internship list before you pay the admission fee.
What job can I get after BFA at Jain University?▾
Most paths lead to design, animation, illustration or studio art. The school lists graphic designer, animator, film editor and art curator among the main jobs. An animator usually starts at INR 4 to 7 LPA and an illustrator at INR 3.5 to 6 LPA. Pick your specialisation in semester 3 with the job you want in mind.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a clear placement record before you pay, because JAIN publishes no BFA placement figures. Skip it also if you may leave after classes start, since no fee comes back on or after that day. If you are unsure, take the JET test and decide before the admission fee date.
Which specialisation should I pick in semester 3?▾
Choose by the work you want to do after the course. Applied Art (Digital Art) and Visual Communication suit design and animation jobs. Painting, Sculpture and Graphics Art suit studio practice and teaching, and Art Culture suits curating. Try every form seriously in year 1, then pick the one your best work comes from.
Is this course good for higher studies?▾
Yes, if you build a strong portfolio. The course is a four-year honours degree, which is what most MFA (Master of Fine Arts) programmes ask for. Keep your best studio work from every year in one folder. Start shortlisting MFA options in year 3, because most ask for a portfolio review.
Should I take this seat if I am not sure art is my career?▾
Take it only if you enjoy making art every day, not just as a hobby. Year 1 is a common foundation, so you get to try drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking first. The course also gives a certificate after year 1 and a diploma after year 2. Ask the admissions office what fee you pay if you exit early.
Should I wait for a later JET phase?▾
No, if you are ready now. JAIN holds JET in four phases from April to June, and each phase sends its own offer letters. A later phase gives you more time to prepare, but leaves less time before the fee date. Book the earliest phase you feel ready for.
Will I get placed after BFA here?▾
No one can promise a job, because JAIN does not publish BFA placement numbers. Your portfolio and internships decide your first offer more than the campus does. Do one internship every summer from year 2. Ask the school for last year's list of internships and jobs before you join.
How do I get admission to BFA at Jain University?▾
Fill the JAIN UG form online and pay the application fee. Then sit the JET written test, the extempore round and the personal interview in the phase you book. If you get an offer, pay the admission fee by its date and bring your TC and migration certificate to enrol.
What is the full fee with hostel?▾
The full four-year fee is INR 6 Lakhs without hostel. With the lowest four-sharing hostel room at INR 1.40 Lakhs a year, it comes to INR 11.60 Lakhs. A double room costs up to INR 2.25 Lakhs a year, so check the room type before you book.
Do I get the fee back if I leave?▾
Only if you leave before classes start and the seat is filled by someone else. Then JAIN returns the fee after a small cut, as the UGC rule says. No fee comes back on or after the day classes start. You must ask in person with your original fee receipt.
Which scholarships can I get for BFA here?▾
The Central Sector Scheme gives INR 36,000 over the course if you are in the top 20 percentile of your Class 12 board and your family earns up to INR 4.5 Lakhs a year. JAIN's Ekalavaya sports scholarship is for state or national level players aged 17 to 21. You can hold only one scholarship at a time.
