AAFT Reviews – Career Tracks, Courses, Learning Mode, Fee, Reviews, Ratings and Feedback

It’s all about time….right now AAFT is doing well in terms of admissions in fields of Animation and Design, Art, Humanities and social sciences, Hospitality, Fashion, Cinema, Photography, Animation, Media, Mass – Communication, and Journalism. They are giving almost all the facilities to the students, no doubt they have spent a lot but the only thing that bothered me was that AAFT is affiliated with Noida International University (NIU), which is a private University that comes under tire 3 and can be banned and blacklisted by any govt.
It never came to my mind why faculties at AAFT get changed in mid of the semester and it’s not with one or two instances it happens quite frequently. I joined MSC in Cinema without informing my family members but came across one of my cousins who told me about how his life was ruined as he was studying at Rai University, which was shut down by its owner due to affiliation issues. It opened my eyes and I withdrew my admission from AAFT. This Institute is only running in the name of Mr Marwah and his elite connections with Bollywood and Politicians.
If connections end, so as the affiliation and degree, which will have no value. Think about that and choose the right path from the beginning. Everything needs to be validated before you take admission, it’s your future don’t spoil it by taking the wrong steps early.

No, I graduated this year from this college, This college has so many issues…..
It made feel sick about this college so often….
I don’t know how can a college get affiliated by a private university and a deemed university. (Noida International University and Sobhit University)
Though they have started their own university at Chattisgarh from this year…

1. Some well designated faculties are very ignorant. Some of them are very stereotypical, they don’t have any aesthetic idea of film making. Director and Associate Dean are not very helpful unless your are obliged to them, they don’t care about any issues of students such as quality of education. As a cinematographer student, nobody ever introduced a cine camera (RED, Blackmagic , Arri ect.) to me(us). They conduct many seminars instead of proper workshop. They have very old tech lighting equipment and also you will not get according to your need because all the lighting equipment stays busy for their commercial shoot. All you can get some very old DSLRs with kit lenses in poor conditions.
2. The duration of cinematography class is not enough, classes get hampered by combined classes with juniors and/or other specializations. Also many college festivals and many film promotions and worthless seminars do hamper classes so often.
3. Of course you will get few great faculties there(acting, editing, direction and cinematography; five faculties) but some faculties behave sarcastic way and some behave so rudely. Most of them don’t help any student during shoot. They always talk about quality of shooting but when you ask for good camera or proper lighting you will not get any of these.
4. College provide neither workshop (only theories and question answer session) nor internship. Only celebrity visit cannot make a college great.
5. Some faculties are very restricted to the syllabus only they don’t answer you unless he/she wants to tell you.
6. They keep your all educational documents during admission and they will not return you until you submit the 2nd semester fee. Also they ask for 2nd semester fee before the final exam of 1st semester.
7. College campus is very poor, they don’t have enough space for students, canteen are very small thus create huge crowd during lunch, also they conduct all the fests in these campus that creates extreme crowd all over the premises. They don’t allow any student to go out from the campus during fest no matter how important it for somebody. they instruct all the volunteers to force other students to attend particular session. if somebody don’t attend any fest they will harass them and decrease their attendance.
8. they have a feedback session in this college that happens once in every semester, just for showing off , if anybody say anything against the any problems of this college they shut the mouth of his/her.
9. As a student of cinematography I didn’t get to learn any standard cine camera, lighting (No set designed for lighting), standard PC for DaVinci Resolve class (WE struggled a lot using very basic laptop), no rig for cine setup, no steady cam, no gimbal, no modern lighting equipment, no contact for internship.

so think twice before taking admission in this college….
