AAFT Noida Answered Questions

Hi Reyan,
Both the institutes are good in their own ways. But considering your choice, Journalism, I would suggest AAFT. They have BA in Journalism and Mass Communication, which is more journalism centric.
Whereas the course SXCKOL offers is mass communication-centric and journalism, as you know, is a part of mass communication.
I would suggest you visit the websites of the institues and look at the syllabus. Then you decide.
All the best.

There are private institutes that provide you with this degree, AAFT is fine but you can have a better college than this. There are other colleges as well, for example: LPU, Amity, and how can we forget about India's top university for mass communication, i.e Makhan Lal Chaturvedi National University of Mass Communication. This is a government institute.

NBA, now known as JSTS does not make actors and directors, JSTS transforms individuals to Media Professionals into Writers, New Anchors, Reporters, Production Managers, Digital Media Experts, Social Media Managers, Growth Specialists, and many more.

In my eyes, AAFT and JD are both great universities and their quality of education is also very high. But I would like to add Anant National University to this discussion as it is where I completed my M.Des from. The main reason I chose ANU was because of the amount of education value they provided along with economically feasible fee structure. Anant National University also helped me to be a part of a very reputable MNC. Visit: http://anu.edu.in for more information.

If you have interest in such a course in which you get to have practical exposure instead of theory then you should definitely go for AAFT as it has a huge infrastructure through which you can get wide experience towards industry training with experienced faculty members, along with seminars, workshops and master classes. AAFT gives you Internships and placement assistance as well.

To be a professional actor you need a professional training which you can get only with professionals. AAFT is the right place for it because it has extensive training in acting along with choreography, modeling, stunts, portfolios, short films, grooming, personality development, diction, voice modulation etc and lot more in the course duration after which you are ready for working as a professional actor. There are regular celebrity visits, master classes, seminars, workshops etc.

Hi,
There's no second thought before I write this. Of course, it has to be NID, as it's an institute of national importance. AAFT, on the other hand is a private institute and is known for B.Des as well. NID is best known for design courses, and you will have ample of opportunities after passing out from there. Coming to it's placements, several graduates tend to start their own studio. According to LinkedIn, 377 out of 3500 graduates are Entrepreneurs (Nowhere close to the 60% stat by Sumit Shah, but I hope he can give some source). Popular companies (based on no. Of NIDians employed) are Cognizant, Microsoft, SAP, Adobe, Samsung, Godrej, HFI etc.
All your main/subject questions lead to one destination that is how much money you can earn after graduating from NID. If that is the only concern you have, then start your own business to earn. NID won't teach you how to earn money. You have to use your 100% brains, if you have to be on the top. How NID can help you to put you in good companies? It also depends on the stream you apply for. \
Now look at another scenario. Let's say you love textile design, and you want to apply for Textile/Apparel design at NID, right. What if I tell you that go for some of the UX related courses in NID to get more packages, will you just listen to me and go ahead with it? If yes, then you have got no passion for a particular design rather than earning money. If that is the case, then stop doing it. Have a vision where do you want to be and as a what. You will earn money for sure after graduating from colleges, like NID or IIT that would take some time along with the level of industry experience you have.
