At AAFT, the Digital Marketing industry experts conduct regular workshops and classes as part of their curriculum and events. In keeping with the school's philosophy toward hands-on, practical exposure for the student, the guest speakers and visiting industry experts often facilitate live marketing campaigns and facilitate hands-on interactive marketing workshops. With the aim of keeping the students current with the latest developments in the Digital Marketing sector, the school hosts a multitude of guest speaker events each year, instead of only one or two. During the sessions, industry experts provide insights about the latest tools, strategies, and trends, which allow the students to participate in learning about real-life campaigns, rather than theoretical, textbook-only content, thereby allowing the students to build confidence, learn about the real-world application of digital marketing concepts in their everyday work and be better prepared for future employment opportunities by providing them with more than just classroom theory.

Hi.Yes, students at AAFT School of Cinema/AAFT Noida do get opportunities to be involved with professional film‑making environments and industry‑linked practical exposure, though formal placements on major professional film sets may not be guaranteed for all. Here's how the industry connection typically works:1. Practical Industry Exposure through CurriculumAAFT's cinema courses emphasize hands‑on practice with real production workflows — students learn through shooting, directing, editing, and working with professional equipment in studios and on shooting floors provided by the institute. This means much of the film set experience happens within an academic/controlled production context that simulates real world film production. 2. Industry Workshops, Masterclasses & Guest SessionsStudents participate in guest lectures, workshops and masterclasses by industry professionals (actors, directors, cinematographers etc.), which gives them exposure to film professionals and sometimes leads to networking opportunities that can help them find real set opportunities independently. 3. Collaborations & Skill Development PartnershipsAAFT has formal collaborations with organisations like the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), aimed at enhancing industry‑related skill development and professional readiness. These partnerships help bridge academic learning with industry expectations, increasing the chances that students can pursue internships or productions externally. 4. In‑House Live Projects & Student ProductionsStudents do work on live projects, such as short films, documentaries, and other production assignments that mirror real film set conditions — this helps them build portfolios and gain crew‑level experience before entering actual professional sets. 5. Placement Support & Industry NetworkingAAFT's placement and career support cells (EDGE & CARE) help students find internships and industry roles in film, television, OTT and related media. While this support can lead to opportunities on professional film sets, specific job or set work depends on individual performance, networking, and industry demand.

Hi.Yes, the School of Journalism & Mass Communication (JMC) at AAFT Noida does include training in digital journalism skills, though the specific depth and emphasis on each modern skill (like mobile reporting, social media analytics, fact-checking, podcast production) varies by programme and may not be labelled explicitly in all official materials. Here's a clearer breakdown based on the available course information:Digital Journalism & Media Skills at AAFTMobile/ Digital ReportingThe B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication (BJMC) programme includes digital communication and digital media reporting skills as part of the curriculum — such as digital reporting, newsroom simulations, and production for online platforms. AAFT also offers separate online short courses in Digital Journalism and Mobile Journalism through AAFT Online, where learners explicitly learn about mobile news gathering, reporting, camera usage, and news packaging for mobile platforms. So students (especially those in digital or journalism tracks) do get exposure to mobile reporting and digital newsroom skills.Social Media Analytics & Digital StrategyWhile the main official programme descriptions (BAJMC, MAJMC, PGD, etc.) do not list “social media analytics” as a standalone course unit, they do include digital media strategy, digital communication, and social media reporting topics within broader digital media components.The MA in Journalism and Mass Communication mentions social media strategy as part of skills acquisition, which suggests instruction in understanding and using social platforms effectively — even if analytics tools aren't explicitly listed. This means students learn to work with social platforms as journalists/content creators — including strategy and content creation — though dedicated analytics tools training may vary by faculty or project.Fact-Checking & Media EthicsJournalism programmes at AAFT build foundation skills in news reporting, editing, media law and ethics, which implicitly include fact-checking principles as part of responsible journalism practice.Ethical training and accuracy in reporting are woven into core newsroom and reporting modules even if not always highlighted in the syllabus summaries.So fact-checking skills are usually part of training in reporting ethics and news verification.
