AAFT Courses and Fees 2026-27

The table below covers twelve representative programmes across all levels, from the costliest UG to the most accessible certificate.

AAFT UG Programme Fees 2026-27

The four-year B.Des programmes are the priciest UG options at AAFT. B.Des Fashion Design costs INR 8,82,800 across eight semesters, with Semester 1 at INR 1,39,050 and Semesters 2 to 8 at INR 1,06,250 each. B.Des Interior Design comes in at INR 8,32,800 for the same four-year structure. The premium over a three-year B.Sc is partly the extra year and partly the higher per-semester fee built into the design degree.

Among the three-year BA and B.Sc programmes, BA Acting and B.Sc Cinema share identical totals of INR 8,12,800. Both programmes charge INR 1,62,800 in Semester 1 and INR 1,30,000 for each of the five subsequent semesters. Film and performance disciplines command the highest 3-year fee at AAFT. The differential between Semester 1 and later semesters, which runs from INR 30,000 to INR 43,050 across most programmes, reflects a one-time registration and admission charge absorbed into the first instalment rather than a separate upfront payment.

At the other end of the UG range, BA Music at INR 4,01,800 and B.Sc Artificial Intelligence, B.Sc Data Science, and B.Sc Digital Marketing at INR 4,82,800 each are the most budget-friendly three-year degree options AAFT offers. Eligibility for all UG programmes is 10+2 or equivalent from a recognised board.

AAFT PG Programme Fees 2026-27

MA Acting at INR 6,12,200 and M.Sc Cinema at INR 6,12,800 sit within INR 600 of each other at the top of the PG range. That near-identical cost for two very different disciplines is a meaningful data point for postgraduate applicants: a student weighing an acting-focused MA against a technical cinema M.Sc will find no meaningful fee difference between the two. Both run over four semesters, with Semester 1 priced higher than the rest.

The fashion and design cluster of PG programmes (M.Sc Fashion Communication, M.Sc Fashion Designing, M.Sc Jewellery Design, and M.Sc Textile Design) all land at INR 4,82,800 for two years, making that the dominant price point in the mid-tier PG band. M.Sc Data Science, at INR 3,32,800, is the most affordable two-year PG at AAFT. Minimum eligibility for all PG programmes is a graduation degree in a relevant discipline. Admission is through AAFT’s entrance test and interview.

AAFT Diploma and Certificate Fees 2026-27

Diploma Acting and Diploma Post Production both cost INR 2,25,600 for one year, and three PG Diploma programmes (Advertising and Brand Management, Photography, and Film and TV Production Direction) reach the same figure. Five very different disciplines share that same two-semester price band. The PGD Digital Journalism and Diploma Animation sit just below at INR 1,90,600 each.

Certificate programmes are the most affordable entry point at AAFT. Certificate in Radio Jockeying at INR 50,600 is the cheapest credential the institution offers. Certificates in Bakery and Digital Marketing cost INR 55,600 each, Certificate Culinary Arts is INR 75,600, and Certificate Acting and TV Presentation is INR 97,600. All five are one-year, year-fee-basis programmes. Students who want a short, skills-focused engagement with the AAFT ecosystem without committing to a multi-year degree can start at these entry-level fee points.

AAFT Application Fees

AAFT charges a registration fee at the time of application. This is separate from the course fee and must be paid to confirm the application. For degree programmes, the registration fee is INR 20,600. For diploma programmes it is INR 15,600.

The registration fee is not lost on selection. If a candidate clears the entrance test and interview and takes admission, the INR 20,600 or INR 15,600 paid at registration is adjusted against the first semester fee. Candidates who do not clear the final selection round receive a refund after deduction of a processing charge. The entrance exam for AAFT programmes is conducted by AAFT itself and there is no separate entrance body fee applicable.

AAFT Hostel and Mess Fees 2026-27

On-campus hostel accommodation is available for both boys and girls at AAFT Noida. Hostel fees go up to INR 1,32,000 per year for both categories. Mess charges are separate and vary by meal plan. Candidates are advised to confirm current hostel availability and exact mess rates with the admissions office directly, as these can change each academic year.

Adding hostel costs changes the planning picture meaningfully. A student in the three-year BA Acting programme (INR 8,12,800) who opts for hostel adds up to INR 3,96,000 over three years, putting the total outlay at up to INR 12,08,800. For the four-year B.Des Fashion Design (INR 8,82,800), hostel over four years adds up to INR 5,28,000, making the total up to INR 14,10,800. Students who commute locally avoid this addition entirely.
