The MAAC Legacy

Two Decades of
Shaping Creative Minds

MAAC — Maya Academy of Advanced Creativity was founded with a single, unwavering belief: that every creative mind in India deserves access to world-class training in the visual arts. Since opening its doors, the Ghaziabad RDC centre has been the launch-pad for thousands of animators, VFX artists, game designers, and graphic media professionals who now work at the top studios across India and beyond.

What started as a small training centre has grown into a full-spectrum creative media academy — equipped with render farms, Wacom studios, broadcast-grade editing suites, and faculty who have genuine credits on Bollywood blockbusters and international productions. Our curriculum is co-developed with the industry and continuously updated to reflect exactly what studios are hiring for today.

"Don't just animate — innovate. Our goal is not to produce graduates with certificates, but artists with voices." — MAAC Ghaziabad RDC Rajnagar, Centre Philosophy

Affiliated with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and the Media & Entertainment Skills Council (MESC), every programme at MAAC Ghaziabad RDC Rajnagar carries government-recognised certification that employers across the creative industry trust. Our dedicated placement cell has facilitated over 1,000 placements across 50+ hiring partners — from Yash Raj Films and Red Chillies Entertainment to Tata Elxsi and Technicolor.

& Core Values

Our Mission
To deliver world-class, industry-integrated creative media education that empowers every student — regardless of background — to build a meaningful, sustainable career in Animation, VFX, Game Design, and Digital Media. We achieve this through hands-on learning, mentorship from active industry professionals, and a relentless commitment to staying ahead of the curve.

We envision a future where every alumnus of MAAC Ghaziabad RDC Rajnagar carries the confidence, the portfolio, and the network to thrive anywhere in the global creative industry.
Innovation First
We teach cutting-edge tools and workflows, not yesterday's software. Our labs are always running the latest industry-standard releases.
Student-Centric
Small batch sizes. Personal mentorship. Every student's portfolio is treated as a unique body of work, not a checkbox assignment.
Industry Integrity
Our curriculum is reviewed annually with input from studio heads, art directors, and VFX supervisors who are still active in the field.
Career Commitment
We don't consider our job done at graduation. Our placement cell, alumni network, and ongoing support are all part of the package.
