Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics (MAAC) is the academic and training wing of Maya Entertainment Limited (MEL), a leading computer animation and visual  effects studio for film and television in India . MEL was started in the year 1996 by Ketan Mehta, the internationally acclaimed producer-director (credited  with the making of Bhavani Bhavai, Holi, Mirch Masala, Maya Memsaab, Sardar and The Rising etc).

Today, 'animation' is no more restricted to Cartoon Characters only. Remember that mind-blowing scene from Godzilla, where the beast's tail swings, savagely  reducing New York skyscrapers to little mounds of rubble? Or the one from The Mask where Jim Carrey's eyeballs pop out and his tongue comes lashing out of  his mouth as he watches Cameron Diaz crooning in a nightclub? Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic Park , Independence Day, Tomb Raider or Harry Potter could  not have been successful without the involvement of quality computer graphics.

MAAC provides courses and related training in the areas of 3D Animation, Digital Film Production, Post Production and Visual Effects for Television and Feature films. At MAAC the training is enhanced by real time work on live projects for film and television.MAAC offers a range of courses in sync with the aptitude level of the student. Once can choose from Short Term Courses, Career Courses and Specialization

University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) - the world's largest provider of international qualifications, after a successful evaluation of MAAC course material and assessments, has agreed to validate MAAC's flagship AD3D, AD3DPlus and PD3D programmes.   This will give graduates a distinct edge when it comes to landing jobs with frontline global companies or pursuing specialized courses overseas.
