AAFT University of Media and Arts is a private university in the Raipur district of Chhattisgarh, established in 2018 under the aegis of Marwah Studios. The university extends an education brand whose institutional history began in 1993, when the AAFT group was established at Film City, Noida as the education and training arm of Marwah Studios. That background in film and media training shaped the university’s original emphasis on creative, communication and entertainment-sector education. The Raipur university broadened the AAFT model into a multidisciplinary higher-education structure. Its academic areas include cinema, journalism and mass communication, animation, fashion design, fine arts, performing arts, photography, music, interior design, advertising, public relations and events, digital marketing, management, hospitality, law and other professionally oriented fields. The university emphasizes studio, production, performance and project-based learning alongside classroom instruction, reflecting the practical requirements of creative industries. AAFT University states that it is recognized by the University Grants Commission and is competent to award degrees under the UGC framework. Its law programs are also presented with approval from the Bar Council of India. The campus at Kharora in the Raipur area covers about 27 acres and includes academic, production, residential and student-life facilities. The university supports undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma and doctoral pathways across its schools. Although the university itself dates from 2018, it presents its identity through the longer AAFT and Marwah Studios lineage. This distinction is important: the 1993 milestone relates to the predecessor education group, while 2018 marks the creation of the Chhattisgarh university. The institution’s development therefore represents the conversion of a specialist media-training legacy into a degree-granting university with a wider creative and professional portfolio, retaining media and arts as central elements of its academic character. The university consequently blends specialist creative training with conventional university structures for academic governance, research, assessment and formally recognized degree pathways.
