Rules & Regulations

Creating the Best Learning Environment These Rules & Regulations are designed to ensure FilmKraft Academy remains a focused, collaborative, and professional space where every student — regardless of background or experience — can learn and grow. All enrolled students are expected to abide by these rules.

General Rules

All students must treat fellow students, trainers, guest speakers, and Academy staff with respect and professionalism at all times.
Discrimination of any kind — based on gender, religion, caste, region, language, disability, or sexual orientation — is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate removal from the program.
Students are expected to come prepared and committed to each session.
Any concerns or grievances must be raised through official channels — directly with the program coordinator or via email — and not aired publicly or on social media.
FilmKraft Academy reserves the right to update these rules at any time. Students will be notified of significant changes.

Attendance & Punctuality

Online Programs:

Students must maintain a minimum of 100% attendance across all live sessions to be eligible for certification.
Joining a session more than 15 minutes late may count as an absence for that session.
Missed sessions may be partially covered via recordings (where provided), but live participation is encouraged for the best learning outcomes.

Offline Programs:

A minimum of 95% attendance is required for certification.
Arriving more than 15 minutes late will be marked as a late entry and three late entries equal one absence.

Studio Program — Placement Guarantee Terms

The Studio Program (₹1,50,000, 12 months) is offered with a placement guarantee. These terms apply only to students enrolled in the Studio Program and do not extend to any other FilmKraft Academy program.

FilmKraft Academy commits to training and mentoring each enrolled Studio Program student until they secure a job in AI filmmaking, provided the student meets attendance and project-completion requirements set out in these Rules and in the program curriculum.
A specific role, employer, or salary is not guaranteed — the guarantee is a commitment to ongoing training, mentorship, and placement support until suitable employment is secured.
If, after completing the full program in good standing, a suitable external placement has not been secured, FilmKraft Academy will offer the student an opportunity to work with its in-house production team or to teach at the Academy, so that the value of the fees paid is not lost.
The guarantee applies only where the student has completed all required coursework and projects, maintained satisfactory attendance, and complied with these Rules & Regulations and the Terms & Conditions throughout the program.
Students removed from the program for disciplinary reasons, or who withdraw before completion, are not eligible for the placement guarantee.
Fee-refund scenarios connected to the Studio Program (including partial refunds for valid non-completion) are governed separately by the Refund Policy and are not part of this placement guarantee.
