Film and Television Institute of India Cut Off Details

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 Criteria

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).

Previous Year Cutoffs

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.

Category-Wise Trends

  • General: Highest bars (50% min), e.g., Direction 62-71 for shortlist, final 56-68.
  • OBC-NCL: 45% min; often 5-10% below General, e.g., Editing shortlist 47.50.
  • SC/ST: 40% min; relaxed further for PwD (32%); trends show finals ~40-55, with more seats proportionally.
    Trends: Cutoffs rise 2-5% yearly for popular courses amid growing applicants (~5,000+ for 200 seats); technical courses (Sound/Editing) lower than creative ones. 2025 JET cutoffs released category-wise on ftii.ac.in, with Stage 1 qualifiers based on percentile-like shortlisting.

Exam-Wise Insights

  • JET Stage 1: Qualifying ~50-60% aggregate; course-specific (e.g., Direction: aptitude/story; Cinematography: technical).
  • Final Merit: Holistic; medical fitness mandatory post-interview. No fixed ranks—merit lists published post-Stages; ties resolved by interview scores. Applicants to up to 3 courses (A/B/C groups) compete separately.

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.
