Announcement of New Batch

Real Time Rendering 2026 (RTR 2026 / RTR 7.0)
[Multi-platform OpenGL & Windows DirectX11]

====== READ THE FOLLOWING RED-HIGHLIGHTED MESSAGES FIRST BEFORE GOING AHEAD ======

[Decision of joining or not joining this course can be a “lifetime important decision”. So, please don’t skim through the following notice even though it looks lengthy. If you STILL feel like skimming through it or feel bored by looking at its length – then take it granted that you are NOT eligible to join this course. So, please don’t read further.]

PLEASE read ONLY when you have enough time to read and PLEASE use a bigger screen than a mobile phone.

============================================================================================================================ Hello All, We, the AstroMediComp team, are proudly announcing the next batch of Real Time Rendering, which henceforth, will be called as RTR 2026 or RTR 7.0. Looking at the success and statistics of prior 6 batches (you will find their statistics below), we are going to continue the same idea of online live-coding for this batch too.

About The Course or “Course Contents” : This course covers “Graphics & Animation Programming” using OpenGL on 6 platforms and DirectX11 on one platform. These platforms are – Windows, Linux, Android, macOS, iOS and Web for OpenGL and Windows for DirectX11. Simply speaking, after completion of this course, students will confidently code in :

• Windows Programming
• Linux Programming
• Android Programming
• macOS Programming
• iOS Programming
• Web Programming

(Remember, from above list on “Android” and “iOS” we are going to program in Embedded Systems Applications using OpenGL-ES and same can be done on supporting Embedded Boards like NVIDIA Jetson Nano, NVIDIA Tegra, RaspberryPi and other boards which have GPU on them)

When the sessions are online, there will be live-coding without any source code printouts/source code downloads/notes. And you will code and understand every line of a program of about 1000 lines of code (these are just average number of lines of ONE program) and you will do more code in assignments. This will be possible ONLY because of consistency, which can only be achieved by doing more than 500 assignments on each of the above mentioned platforms. But wait:

1. For those who don’t have any computer background, who don’t even know what programming is, who never wrote a single line of code due to testing background – be assured that after completing this course and all above assignments, you will start loving and earning in programming! Just maintain the patience, passion and consistency.
2. For those who are feeling panicked by the above number of assignments – be assured that after understanding every line of code, you will enjoy coding and will happily complete all assignments.
3. For those who are experienced and so are overlooking / ignoring the above number due to “OC” (Overconfidence) – be assured that you may be the one who is left without a chair when the music stops. This has happened in all of the previous 6 batches.

So, don’t take this number lightly, we mean it. In short, consider above mentioned bullet-points as our “Course Content”.

Course Duration : 1.5 years (or 18 months). 

Course Fees :

We will be using a Payment Gateway.

For students residing in India :
₹90,000 + 18% GST = ₹1,06,200 + Nominal Payment Gateway Overhead Charges
(There are installments, and they will be conveyed during the First Introductory Lecture.)

For students residing out of India :
₹1,80,000 + 18% GST = ₹2,12,400 + Nominal Payment Gateway Overhead Charges
(No installments/part payment allowed.)

[REMEMBER : Fees are decided ONLY by students, NOT by us and so are non-refundable in any case].
If you feel that the fees are on higher side OR if there is a discrimination between students residing in India and out of India, please don’t ask us – ask the students who decided this. Social Media is at your fingertips.

==================================================

Looking at above data, you will realize that in spite of higher-sided fees, without any job assistance or guarantee, without any infrastructure, not even notes, all above batches have emerged as highly successful. That is why, instead of considering this as a course of “Graphics & Animation Programming”, we have given this course a new purpose of “Learning Programming using Graphics & Animation”. Looking at the mass trend in the I.T. industry of India, we were never expecting any job opportunities in this complex, yet mass appealing, advertising, mesmerizing, eye-catching world of animation and game industry.

BUT WE WERE WRONG ABOUT THE INDUSTRY! Now, we are proud to say that this course has caught the eye of our I.T. industry. Till now, multiple companies have approached us and many of them have already recruited our students for “Graphics & Animation Programming”, with excellent packages. And this number does not include those companies who have recruited our students just because of their better programming skills developed in them by this course (to avoid indirect advertisement of I.T. companies we are not disclosing these names – ask already passed-out students or see / refer social media like LinkedIn directly).

Please note that we do NOT arrange any campus. All these companies have approached us on their own. Rectify above details by asking anybody and everybody who has attended this course. Actually, don’t even think about joining the course without being 100% completely assured.

About The Upcoming RTR Batch :

1.  Session 1 : An introductory session addressed by Dr.
Vijay D. Gokhale Sir – This session will focus on “who should attend and more importantly who should NOT attend this course”. This session was conducted on 8th March, 2026 live, open and free to all on AstroMediComp’s Official YouTube Channel.

• Regular lecture YouTube links will be shared over this Google Group 15 minutes (+/-) prior to lecture time – The links will be received by the admitted students in the form of Google Group mails on their Registered Email-IDs
• The email-id provided by a student during the admission process will be considered as his/her “Registered Email-ID” and the same will be used to add that student to the Google Group.
• All RTR 7.0 / RTR 2026 Lectures will be conducted in this same manner throughout the course duration.
• So, to attend a LIVE lecture, all a student has to do – is sign in to Gmail using the Registered Email-ID, go to the latest Lecture Link Google Group mail and click on the link given in it to join the lecture at the lecture time. That’s ALL.
• Lectures are LIVE ONLY.
