I am adequately satisfied. I gathered a lot from this college and have evolved as an individual.

Placements: I am a final year student pursuing M.Sc Cinema with Direction Specialisation. Various opportunities were made available to us, such as assistant directors, art directors, and cinematographers in the technical aspect of this medium. People from various production houses came to interview us and helped us gain exposure to the process on the set.

Infrastructure: We had four semesters over a period of two years, which were categorised from beginner to intermediate level of our understanding of cinema. We were taught about everything from scratch, and then the faculty guided us to have our own individual perspective on the world of cinema. As a direction student, I have evolved as an observer and gained an understanding of the technical aspect of the craft. There are studios and equipment for our practice and projects that we can use. There's a fully equipped library to welcome us into the world of media.

Faculty: Faculty members are very cooperative. I have gained very valuable mentorship and guidance from the faculty, and they have been very supportive throughout the course. I have seemed to be a part of a very collaborative approach to the teaching and have gained a lot of exposure.

Other: I personally enjoyed my specialisation subject.

AAFT is a great college.

Placements: Around 70–80% of students from our batch get placed through campus drives. The highest package is around 10-12 LPA, with companies including media agencies and production houses. Students also secure internships, and common roles offered are assistant director, video editor, cinematographer, and related positions.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is above average, with decent classrooms, labs, and a well-maintained library with Wi-Fi access. Hostel facilities are great with clean rooms and basic amenities. The food quality is good and hygienic. Medical and sports facilities are also excellent. It makes the overall campus comfortable.

Faculty: Faculty members are amazing in their respective fields. They are very supportive and focus on both theoretical and practical knowledge. The curriculum is relevant and provides a basic understanding of the industry. Semester exams are quite easy if students attend classes regularly. Evaluation is manageable. The pass percentage is high, with most students clearing exams without difficulty.

Other: I chose this course because I love filmmaking. The best thing about my course is that it is creative and gives scope for imagination. It would be better if the college added more practical knowledge to the curriculum. The rest of everything is good.

Quite satisfied with whatever the college has to offer. Excellent faculty and unique teaching method

Placements: We are expecting a few placements in our batch but keeping the nature of my course in mind I am not relying too much on campus placements. A few production houses do visit the college from time to time in search of cast and crew for their upcoming projects but it is better to be self reliant than seeking work opportunities from college. Also, we are being prepared by the college to learn to work as a freelance artist.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not the brightest part of the college. The college is based in the film city, Noida and as a result of which the infrastructure could not exceed a certain area. I wish there were enough theatres or stages or auditoriums to accommodate more students at once.

Faculty: The course is a great exposure to the world of cinema and many extremely talented and regarded artists of the Hindi film industry work as the faculty in our college which not only enables us to learn the technicalities but also gain the first hand experience that the teachers share with us. Also, unlike most other colleges and universities in our country the student to teacher ration is quite remarkable.

Other: Various fests are organized from time to time. Campus crowd makes one feel comfortable as everyone is helpful and more or less sailing on the same boat.

Other: Great learning experience, highly qualified faculty with a proactive approach by the staff from top to bottom to help you out in anything. The management is highly motivated and inspired to create professionals maybe they can improve a little on interiors and a bit of renovation won’t be a bad idea. But the core teaching with equipment and industry visits are excellent.
