Planning after Class 10 or Class 12?
After Class 10
Honestly: MAAC's career courses require Class 12 passed, so there is no full-time career programme to enrol in straight after Class 10. That doesn't mean the time before Class 12 is wasted.
What to do before Class 12
Take the career quiz now
See which craft — 3D, VFX, game design or design — actually fits your interests, well before you have to choose.
Keep building a portfolio habit
Drawing, editing short videos or experimenting with free tools builds the eye every MAAC course assumes on day one.
Talk to a counsellor early
Understanding the fee, the degree pathway and the course options now means a faster decision once your Class 12 results are out.
After Class 12
Once Class 12 is passed, the full MAAC catalogue opens up — from focused, single-skill courses of a few months to the three-year IPVAD-XR programme with an embedded degree pathway.
Most MAAC career courses set the same bar: Class 12 passed, no prior drawing or animation experience required.
Courses
The three-year route: IPVAD-XR
For a student who wants the broadest possible foundation before specialising, IPVAD-XR covers 3D animation, visual effects, design and immersive technology in one three-year programme — and it's the course the B.Voc degree pathway is built around.

The B.Voc degree pathway
Run alongside the IPVAD-XR course, the B.Voc turns the same three years into a UGC-recognised degree, with an exit qualification at every year rather than only at the end.

After 10th & 12th FAQs
Not into a full career course — those require Class 12 passed. Use the time before boards to explore with the career quiz and talk to a counsellor, then enrol once your Class 12 results are in.
Take the two-minute career quiz, or talk to a counsellor about your interests — the right first course depends on whether you're drawn to 3D, VFX, game design, motion graphics or design work.
Yes — the B.Voc degree pathway, run alongside the three-year IPVAD-XR course, turns your MAAC training into a UGC-recognised degree rather than a certificate alone.
Speak to your counsellor as early as possible. Course and pathway changes are far easier to make before your term begins than partway through.
