The Teaching Model:
Learn By Doing + On-The-Job Training
Intensive classroom learning in MUMBAI, with a structured curriculum, live projects, and a cohort environment built to sharpen serious thinking and real execution every week.
Real work, real stakes, real accountability. You're placed with partner organizations- not as a formality, but as a core part of the program and the path through which you graduate.
Tight enough that everyone knows everyone, competitive enough that you're surrounded by people who've earned their place.
The industry capital. Where media, marketing, and content converge. Your location is part of your education, not an administrative detail.
How selection
works
An online assessment of critical thinking, communication sensibility, and cultural awareness- not a test of memory, but of instinct.
A personal conversation with the admissions team. We want to understand your goals, your perspective, and whether INSTY is the right environment for you.
Offers are made following the interview round. The cohort is shaped to include people who challenge and elevate one another. We're building a serious cohort, not filling seats.

Both programs are 18 months — 12 months of intensive offline classroom learning in MUMBAI, followed by a 6-month paid/unpaid industry internship.
The Brand Management / Content Marketing is a management pathway focused on social media, digital marketing, and brand management. Content Creation, Storytelling / Filmmaking is a creative pathway focused on writing, directing, editing, producing, acting, content creation, and roles both in front of and behind the camera. Both programs share the same rigor and structure, though their orientation and curriculum differ.
Yes. The 12-month classroom component is fully offline and based in MUMBAI. INSTY is an in-person experience by design- the campus is an intentional part of the program, situated right at the center of everything happening in the media and digital industry.
The process has two rounds followed by final selection: Round 1 is an aptitude test, and Round 2 is a personal interview. Final cohort selection follows Round 2. Once you've paid the ₹1,000 application fee, our team will reach out by call and email to schedule your rounds.
₹18,00,000 per program. This covers the full 12-month classroom component and the on-the-job training/internship phase, which may be paid or unpaid depending on the placement. The ₹1,000 application fee is separate and payable at the time of applying for Round 1. Scholarships of up to 80% are available based on a merit-cum-means model.
None. If you have a genuine interest in content, marketing, or storytelling, and the drive to pursue it professionally, you should apply.
The upcoming cohort begins the last week of August 2026. Seats are strictly limited. Joining the waitlist is the best way to secure a place in the next round of interviews.
