Candidates considering GKFTII often compare it with Asian Academy of Film and Television (AAFT) in Noida and Amity School of Communication at Amity University, Noida. All three serve Delhi-NCR aspirants seeking media and communication degrees without centralised entrance exams such as CUET.

GKFTII and AAFT share the Film City location advantage with direct access to production environments. Amity School of Communication offers a university-backed degree and NIRF-ranked institutional credibility through Amity University. Aspirants who prioritise industry proximity and practical training may prefer GKFTII or AAFT. Those who prioritise an established university brand with NIRF standing may find Amity more suitable.
