AAFT University of Media And Arts

Admission: Being a cinema student, I feel like the faculty really tries their best to teach us about cinema. They're super interactive with us, which is great. They also keep us updated on the latest industry technology through workshops. When it comes to exams, they're pretty important. They're relevant and easy if you pay attention in class. We have both practicals and theories. Attendance is a big deal; you need 75% to take the exams or you'll have to retake the class.

Placement: As a cinema student, I found that getting a placement here was pretty tough. We had to search for it ourselves. But if you're good at what you do, finding an internship isn't too hard. I mean, who wouldn't want to work in the film industry instead of on a news channel, right?

Campus: I didn't stay in the hostel, but a few of my friends did. The food here is okay, not amazing. The bus service is reliable, and the Wi-Fi works well. Since the college is in a secluded area, we have to go to the city for shopping. The food is decent for the price you pay.

Admission: The teachers are really nice and know a lot about their subjects. They do a good job teaching, but sometimes we don't have all the stuff we need for class. Most students pass their courses, but we only have one choice  painting. We don't have classes for sculpture, printmaking, or graphic design.

Placement: There aren't many students in our college. We pay around 48,000 for the course. Students are landing internships at various private companies like freelancers, artists, and art educators. The campus infrastructure needs a lot of improvement, and we could use more facilities. They should work on developing the courses more.

Campus: The infrastructure here needs serious improvement. It's moving slowly, but things are getting better. The art studio is tiny. Hostel food is bad; they don't always give us three meals. They're working on setting up sports grounds.

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful and they make sure to listen to all of us. The course content is good, but it would be nice if they also offered classes on digital art and sculpture. The exams each semester are not too hard, and you need to get at least 45% to pass.

Placement: I'm in a course where no one has had internships or placements yet. It's a new university, so there's only been one batch that graduated. But I've heard that students in other courses do get internships and placements. They're saying that the final-year students might get internships this year.

Campus: The campus has a library, badminton court, and Wi-Fi, which is cool. The canteen is small, though. They just built a new hostel this year. But, the medical facilities are lacking. And there aren't many sports facilities either.

Admission: The faculty here are experts in their fields, with real-world experience. Each semester lasts for six months, and we have to take mid-term and end-term exams. Every semester, we get new courses that are relevant to our degree. The college is all about hands-on learning and getting ready for the real world, rather than just studying theory.

Placement: I really like how AAFT UNIVERSITY helps students find jobs based on what they've studied and what they're good at. The CRC team works really hard to connect us with big companies like Disney. Last year, all the Journalism students got jobs through the university 100% placement rate! It's awesome to see how AAFT is helping us kickstart our careers.

Campus: In every class, we've got projectors, computers, and all the stuff we need for our courses. The teachers use laptops to teach, which makes it more fun. There's a news studio for Journalism students, a cinema studio for Cinema students, and a cool photography studio. We've got around 10-15 DSLR cameras with different lenses for Photography students. Right now, they're building a hostel on campus. But for now, they've rented a place about 2-3 km away for us to stay. It's temporary, but it works for now.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff and have great experience in their field. They teach us exactly what the industry needs from students. The exams are tough, with a high pass rate of 95%. The topics covered in the exams are really interesting too.

Placement: I'm happy to say that 70 out of 100 students got placed, with the highest package being 7 lpa and the lowest at 2 lpa. It's awesome that many students landed jobs at cool companies like Big Boy Toys and Tata. Also, 60% of us got internships at places like Mama Earth and Paytm. The top role offered was Director of Photography in filmmaking.

Campus: The facilities are great with AC rooms and good Wi-Fi. We never need to use our own internet. They use projectors for teaching, which makes studying modern. Powerpoint presentations are used to explain topics to us. It's a good place to study.

Admission: The exams happened often, but the syllabus was limited, which was cool. The college didn't have many courses, it felt like they were just for show. There weren't any fun events organized by the college. The teachers were great and helpful. The library didn't have many good books left for me to read.

Placement: The salaries at the college were pretty low, not that great. I found I could make more money freelancing. Some students got jobs with a highest salary of RS. 30,000. Half of us went for internships, while the other half already had online jobs with good pay. The college also covered the basics in studies.

Campus: The PC didn't work well and the food wasn't great. It's about 45km away from Raipur city, and the AC was also acting up. I suggest bringing your own water because the water there isn't good. The washrooms were clean. In winter and rainy seasons, the vibes were nice, but the campus was small.
