Turning Your Creative Dreams Into Careers

Shorter programmes run around 6 months and cover a specific skill set — fees for these start from Rs. 25,000. The longer Career and Master programmes go up to 18 or 24 months, are built for people who want a full career transition, and are priced up to Rs. 4,00,000 depending on the course. EMI options are available across all programmes so you can spread the cost over your training period. What you choose should depend on how deep you want to go and which role you are targeting — the admissions counsellor can walk you through the right fit.

Graphic Design, Animation, and Video Editing are the most natural starting points for complete beginners. Video Editing in particular is one of the quickest paths from zero to employable — the learning curve is gentler than 3D or VFX, and demand from agencies, brands, and content creators is very high. Graphic Design and Animation build foundational skills — design thinking, visual communication, software fundamentals — that feed into more advanced work later. Once you have those basics, deciding between VFX, Game Design, or UI/UX becomes much clearer because you actually know what each involves.

Students do combine specializations. Animation plus VFX is a common pairing, as is Graphic Design plus UI/UX. Video Editing combined with either VFX or Filmmaking is also a strong combination — editors who understand VFX pipelines or cinematography are significantly more versatile in post-production roles. Talk to the counselling team about which combinations make sense for the role you are targeting — not all combinations are worth the extra time and money.

Evening and weekend batches run specifically for people who are already working or studying full-time. Online batches are also available, which is the most flexible option for working professionals who cannot commit to regular in-person attendance. You do not have to quit your current job to enroll. That said, the courses require consistent attendance and practice outside class — so be honest with yourself about how much time you can actually commit. Batches are conducted primarily in Hindi, with English and Bangla also available depending on faculty expertise — so language is not a barrier regardless of your background.

It depends entirely on which course you take. Animation leads to roles like 3D Animator, Motion Graphics Artist, or Character Rigger. VFX opens up Compositor, Roto Artist, or Matte Painter positions. Video Editing leads to roles like Video Editor, Content Producer, and Post-Production Specialist — one of the highest-demand career tracks right now across agencies, OTT platforms, brands, and YouTube channels. UI/UX heads toward product design and digital interfaces. Game Design lands you in game art or level design. The placement page shows real job titles that past graduates landed, which is more useful than a general list.

New batches at MAAC Noida Extension start every Monday, for both classroom and online modes. This means you do not have to wait weeks for the next intake — whenever you are ready, the next Monday is your start date. Seats in each batch are limited, so it is worth calling ahead to confirm availability before the week begins. Call 7011098633 or WhatsApp the admissions team directly to reserve your spot for the upcoming Monday batch.
