Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) Pune determines cutoffs for its PG Diploma and Certificate courses based on the Joint Entrance Test (JET), followed by multi-stage evaluations, ensuring only top talent advances. These vary by course, category, and year, reflecting competition for limited seats (20-30 per course).
Admission hinges on JET Stage 1 (written exam: MCQs/subjective), shortlisting for Stage 2 (orientation/practical/interview/medical), with final merit as: JET (20%), Orientation (50%), Interview (30%). Minimum qualifying marks in final merit: General (50%), OBC-NCL (45%), SC/ST (40%); PwD: General (40%), OBC-NCL (36%), SC/ST (32%). Category reservations apply (15% SC, 7.5% ST, 27% OBC, 10% EWS, 5% PwD).
Cutoffs represent marks of the last selected candidate for orientation/interview and final admission (out of 100). Data below aggregates trends from recent years (e.g., 2023-2024 batches), showing that Direction & Screenplay are often the highest due to demand.

Factors Influencing Cutoffs
Higher applicant volume (post-COVID surge), exam difficulty, and seat matrix drive variations; 2025 saw slight rises due to the digital media boom. Candidates check official PDFs for exacts; provisional shortlists allow appeals. Strong JET prep (general knowledge, aptitude, domain basics) key to crossing thresholds.
