The last date of applying to MAAC, Dehra Dun, for admission generally crosses in either mid-2025 or later as per the course.

Timeline for a specific course and batch may differ; for instance short, term courses keep on running or ongoing admissions, while flagship qualifications like Animation or Game Design tend to have stricter schedules. Application for 2025 will be opening around April with closure by June 30.

This can further get changed on the basis of the university updates or demand. Candidates will submit their forms through onlinemost 'or personal submission along with fees and documents. Check with MAAC Dehradun closer to spring 2025; the dates are not fixed for all.

As far as the fees of various courses at MAAC Dehradun is concerned, they vary according to the type and duration of the program. The certificate courses like Graphic Design and 2D Animation vary between INR 80,000 to 1.5 lakhs, with courses ranging from 6 to 12 months.

 The duration for Diploma programs such as Animation or VFX is between 12 to 18 months, where the course fees are around INR 1.5 Lacs to INR 2.5 lakh. The advanced programs, including the Program in Game Design or 3D Animation, from 18-24 months, will fall between INR 2 Lacs to INR 3.5 lakh.

 This will also include lab and software access, while there will be extra charges for materials or exams. These are per March 2025, complying with regional pricing structures from MAAC.

The structure of fees is different for the Diploma courses offered at MAAC, Raipur, based on the specialisation and duration of the course. A Diploma in Animation (2D or 3D), usually 12-18 months long, will cost about INR 1.2 to 2 lakh.

The Diploma in VFX or Game Design is more expensive because of the sophisticated hardware and training, whose price ranges between INR 1.5 Lacs and INR 2.5 lakh. There are also short diplomas like Graphic Design, which could be a 6-month course and have fees starting from INR 80,000.

The fee covers tuition, lab access, and materials, while additional charges may be incurred for other services, such as certification exams. 

It isn't that MAAC Raipur is financially draining per se, though it does depend on the course and the length. The fees for courses like Graphic, Web, and 2D Animation or Game Design charge fees that are usually between INR 1.5 Lacs and INR 3 Lacs for the full course depending on the time duration and are paid in installments.

Compared to fees being charged by institutes in metropolitan cities to the tune of INR 4 Lacs or more, the fees at MAAC, Raipur are quite inexpensive considering such programs are specialised training. Other incidental expenses could amount to another INR 20,000-30,000 per year for the software and equipment that ensure the student achieves the desired results.

 In that sense, for a mid-tier city, it is indeed a reasonable price, combining good quality with affordability, though one could argue that "expensive" might be justified depending on one's financial positioning.
