Film and Television Institute of India Admissions Details

Film and Television Institute of India Application/Admission Process

The Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in Pune, Maharashtra, is a premier institute for film and television education, offering postgraduate diploma and certificate courses through a competitive entrance process. Admissions for 2026 are managed via the FTII Entrance Test (FTII ET or JET) 2025-2026, targeting aspiring filmmakers and media professionals.

Admission Process

Candidates apply online via the official FTII website (ftii.ac.in) by registering, filling in details, uploading documents, and paying fees. The process starts with the Joint Entrance Test (JET) Stage 1, a written exam featuring MCQs and subjective questions, followed by shortlisting based on scores. Shortlisted applicants proceed to Stage 2 at FTII Pune, involving orientation, practical tests, interviews, and performance assessments for final selection.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility varies by course but generally requires a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized university. For specialized courses like Art Direction & Production Design, graduates in Architecture, Interior Design, or Fine Arts are preferred; acting courses need no specific degree but emphasize aptitude. Age limits apply (typically 18-30 years, relaxable for reserved categories), and candidates must meet category-specific criteria like SC/ST/OBC/PwD reservations. Final-year students can apply provisionally if they complete their degree before admission.
