Which is better better aaft noida and IILm for BJMC ?

Ans: Rahul, AAFT Noida’s BJMC program stands out for its dynamic, industry-integrated curriculum, helmed by experienced faculty with significant professional backgrounds and fostered by state-of-the-art infrastructure, including advanced studios and specialized labs. Students benefit from valuable hands-on learning—live news projects, workshops, fests, and exposure to prominent guest lecturers. AAFT regularly achieves a strong placement record, with around 75% of students placed over the last three years and nearly 80% securing internships, often in reputable media houses. Alumni note the supportive career cell, robust real-world assignments, and a campus culture that blends practical training with creative exploration, ensuring career readiness and confidence. In contrast, IILM’s BJMC program offers a broad curriculum with good faculty and supportive infrastructure, plus a green campus and well-rounded student support. However, student feedback points to average campus facilities and only moderate placement opportunities in journalism, though internships and skill development options are widely accessible. Overall, AAFT edges ahead in faculty quality, placement support, experiential learning, learning environment, and alumni outcomes, all crucial to a professional mass communication education.

Recommendation: For BJMC, AAFT Noida is the better choice. Its superior industry engagement, experienced faculty, advanced facilities, consistently high student placements and internships, and immersive practical learning environment collectively offer stronger outcomes for aspiring media professionals. ALL THE BEST.

But, is aaft noida ugc recognised, as IILM is a good brand and nice internships and placements

Ans: AAFT (Asian Academy of Film & Television) Noida is recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC). Multiple recent and official sources confirm that AAFT Noida conducts its degree courses under UGC recognition, and the institution highlights this status in its official communications. It is also acknowledged by the Ministry of Education and holds international accreditations. However, it is important to note that while AAFT offers a diverse mix of UGC-recognized degrees, short-term certifications, and professional diplomas, the UGC recognition specifically pertains to its degree programs. Other non-degree and skill-based courses may be issued under AAFT’s own authority or through collaborations. Therefore, if considering AAFT Noida for higher studies or jobs where a UGC-recognized degree is essential, it is crucial to verify that the specific program you are interested in is listed as a UGC-approved degree. For the creative, media, and arts fields—where AAFT has built a significant reputation—the combination of UGC-recognized degrees, industry associations, and international linkages provides both credibility and employability to its graduates.

Hi sir Do BITSAT 2026 accept improvement exam marksheet, or all subjects cleared in one attempt

Ans: BITSAT 2026 accepts improvement exam marksheets, whether you clear all subjects in a single attempt or through improvement exams. Both improvement and original marksheets are valid, provided you achieve at least 75% aggregate in PCM/PCB and 60% individually per subject. All results must be declared by June 30, 2026.

Asked on - Aug 06, 2025 | Answered on Aug 07, 2025

Sir, I got 65.8% in class 12 cbse 2025 overall 5 subjects with rt in maths, but overall pass due to 6 subjects, I will give improvement in cbse 2026 for pcm, then for exams like jee mains, jee advanced, BITSAT, vitee, will I be eligible to give as boards result is announced around 13 may For all exam forms I have to select passed and gave old marks details? Please guide

Ans: You are eligible to appear for JEE Mains, JEE Advanced, BITSAT, and VITEEE in 2026 after taking your CBSE board improvement exams, provided your results are declared before the respective counseling/admission deadlines. For JEE Mains and Advanced, candidates can apply if they have passed class 12 in 2024, 2025, or are appearing in 2026, and you must have at least 75% aggregate marks or be in the top 20 percentile for admission to IITs/NITs/GFTIs after improvement (the cutoff year and number of attempts are as per official NTA/JEE rules). For BITSAT, you can apply as a 2026 pass-out; only the year of the latest improvement/qualifying exam is considered, and you should meet the 75% aggregate and 60% in each PCM subject criteria in your final (improved) marks. VITEEE also accepts improvement marks as long as you score at least 60% in PCM for the general category at the time of admission. When filling online application forms before your improvement results, you should select “passed” for class 12 and enter your 2025 details; if you later improve your marks in 2026, you must update your information and upload the new marksheet during counseling, ensuring your eligibility is met and avoiding any misrepresentation.

Recommendation: Prepare confidently for improvement exams and 2026 engineering entrances, as all top exams allow use of improved marks for eligibility. Ensure your updated marksheet is ready for counseling, and select “passed” with 2025 details in application forms; update these to your improved 2026 scores as soon as results are declared for a smooth, valid admission process.

Means, no problem but if I appear in all subjects as a failure category, then a new marksheet and 2026 appearing year then it will have 1 marksheet, and for improvement 2 marksheet so which is a good option to give, improvement in only pcm, or all 5 subjects exam for a new marksheet

Ans: Please review the statement above again: "You must achieve at least 75% aggregate marks or rank within the top 20 percentile for admission to IITs, NITs, or GFTIs after improvement (cutoff year and attempt limits follow official NTA/JEE guidelines)." Ensure you plan your subject retakes accordingly to meet this requirement. It is also advisable to identify four to five backup options through your State Engineering Entrance Exam and counselling process, as well as two to three private engineering–college entrance exams, rather than relying solely on JEE.

Thanku sir, but I have a doubt Sir, I did my class 12 cbse 2025 from up state passed result, but if I again do 12th from Delhi cbse school as a regular student for cbse 2026 board exam , again 12th, will I be able to have delhi home state quota ?

Ans: JEE Main’s State Code of Eligibility is determined by the board where you first passed Class 12, not by domicile or subsequent repeat exams. If you reappear for Class 12 in Delhi, it is treated as an improvement attempt, and your original UP board remains your eligibility state. JAC Delhi allocates “Delhi region” seats only to candidates whose qualifying exam was originally passed in Delhi. Therefore, retaking Class 12 in Delhi for CBSE 2026 will not grant you the Delhi home state quota under JEE Main or JAC Delhi counselling.

Recommendation: Do not retake Class 12 solely for home state purposes, as state code remains tied to first passing board. Instead, prepare to participate under UP home state quota and maximize your JEE Main performance. Recommendation: use your current eligibility state for counselling, and focus on improving rank and exploring category-based seats.

Hi I am asking about NIOS I have 6 subjects in cbse, 5 passed and rt in maths ,but overall pass, I am thinking to give nios April 2026 exam for jee percentage , will I get toc or not, ?as I am overall passed

Ans: If you have passed 5 out of 6 CBSE subjects and failed only in math but have an overall pass, you are eligible for the NIOS Transfer of Credit (TOC) scheme to appear in the April 2026 exam. Since you have an overall pass, you can transfer credits for the subjects you passed in CBSE to NIOS and only need to clear the remaining subjects you register for with NIOS. TOC allows transfer of up to two subjects from recognized boards like CBSE, provided the subjects are offered by NIOS. You will get a certificate if you pass the required subjects as per NIOS criteria. So yes, you will get a TOC and can appear for NIOS exams to improve your marks for JEE percentage calculation.

But as iilm has good updated curriculum, and better companies visit, and good faculty, more broader exposure, and tips is small, and since it's ipu but I think government curriculum related is old, and some say faculty also not that good and less companies for placements

Ans: Your insight is spot-on. Student reviews cite outdated course content and variable teaching quality at TIPS, whereas IILM offers regular workshops, internships with national firms, and stronger alumni networks. IILM’s updated pedagogy and robust industry ties make it the superior choice.
