Is AAFT affiliated with any university?

Yes, they do.
At AAFT, students don't just learn lines or stand in front of a camera. A big part of their training is focused on shaping them as complete performers. Every batch goes through regular sessions on voice modulation, where they learn how to breathe correctly, control their pitch and volume, and speak with clarity and confidence. These exercises help them handle everything from intimate camera scenes to powerful stage performances.

They also spend a lot of time on movement and body language. Students are taught how to use their posture, gestures, and physical energy to express emotions more naturally. It helps them understand how a character walks, reacts, or even stands in a scene.

And yes, improvisation is a constant part of their day-to-day work. Through improv games and spontaneous scene-building, students learn to think on their feet, respond more truthfully, and break their hesitation on stage.

Altogether, these sessions help them grow into performers who are confident, expressive, and ready for the real world of films, TV, and theatre.

After completing a course at AAFT, students get a chance to step into many areas of the media and entertainment industry. Depending on what they have studied and what they are passionate about, they can explore careers such as:

Films & Television:
Many students move into film or TV work—direction, assisting on sets, cinematography, editing, writing, or working with production teams. Some start by assisting seniors and gradually build their way up.

Acting & Performance:
Those interested in acting find opportunities in films, TV serials, web series, stage shows, advertisements, and even voice-over and dubbing projects. Stage work also helps them polish their craft.

Anchoring & Journalism:
Students who enjoy presenting often try their hand at news anchoring, hosting shows, reporting, or working as RJs and digital hosts for online platforms.

Casting & Talent Management:
A good number of students get into casting—helping select actors for films, ads, and web shows. Some also move towards artist coordination and talent handling.

Creative & Technical Fields:
There are also strong opportunities in camera work, lighting, sound, editing, VFX, graphics, colour grading, and post-production. These fields are always in demand because every project needs a reliable technical team.

Events, Advertising & Social Media:
Students with good communication and organisational skills often find work with ad agencies, events, and social media companies—writing, managing shoots, or handling brand communication.

Digital & OTT Work:
With OTT platforms growing, students now work as content creators, researchers, promo producers, or in creative teams for digital channels.

In short, media is a very wide field. If a student is sincere and builds the right skills, there are plenty of places to fit in—films, TV, OTT, anchoring, production, acting, casting, or behind-the-camera departments.
