About ICAT
In 2004, ICAT Design & Media College revolutionised Design & Media education by offering full-time programmes for the first time in India. Since then, it has trained over 10,000 individuals across 15+ Design & Media sub-sectors. Many of these graduates now work for leading creative studios and MNCs both in India and abroad.
20th Anniversary Celebration
Now, to mark our 20th anniversary, we are launching KYC (Know Your Creativity), an annual scholarship test for all our bachelor's programmes, thus making creative education accessible to all.
Welcome to KYC
ICAT's KYC (Know Your Creativity)test helps higher secondary students (+2 / Inter Final / Diploma Final Year / Equivalent) identify their natural creative skills.
While the majority of students opt for engineering, arts, or other science programs which have been the common choices for years, there are a lot of amazing job opportunities in the creative industry. However, students often overlook these paths as they are less informed and unsure if pursuing a creative career is the right choice. KYC assists such students in assessing their creative strengths for a potential career path.
