The Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), a well-known institute for film and television education in India, has finished its Joint Entrance Test (JET) Stage 2 exams for the 2025 academic year. The last day for these exams was on October 11, 2025 . The entire Stage 2 examination process took place at the FTII Pune Campus over several weeks, starting from September 26, 2025 , and concluding on October 11, 2025 .
These Stage 2 exams were a critical part of the admission process for various film and television courses offered by FTII. Only those students who had successfully passed the first part of the entrance test, known as FTII JET Stage 1 (which included Paper I and Paper II written exams), were allowed to appear for Stage 2. The Stage 2 assessments focused on practical skills. For example, it included specific exams like Screenwriting, where students showed their storytelling abilities, and Screen Acting, where candidates performed and demonstrated their acting talents. These practical exams were conducted in different groups or batches of students over the designated period.
What Happens Next After the Exams?
With the FTII JET Stage 2 exams now completed, all students who participated are eagerly awaiting their results. The Film and Television Institute of India will soon work on compiling the scores and preparing the final list of candidates selected for admission. This final list, called the merit list, is very important as it decides who gets a seat at FTII. To make this final merit list, FTII uses a weighted system. 30% of a student's final score comes from their performance in the FTII JET Stage 1 written tests. The larger portion, 70% , comes from their performance in the FTII JET Stage 2 practical exams. Students will be offered admission to their desired courses based on their overall rank in this final merit list.
When Will the FTII JET Stage 2 Results Be Announced?
As of now, the Film and Television Institute of India has not shared an exact date for when the FTII JET Stage 2 exam results will be released. Students are advised to keep a close watch on the official FTII admission websites for the latest updates. The final merit list and results will be made available online at these addresses: applyadmission.net/ftii2025/ and ftii.ac.in/announcement . It is important for all candidates to check these websites regularly to not miss any announcements regarding their results or further admission steps.
The Next Steps: Orientation, Interviews, and Auditions
Once the final merit list is published, candidates who have successfully qualified will proceed to the next crucial phase of the admission process. This phase typically involves an orientation session , which helps students understand the institute and its courses better. Following this, there will be an interview process . During the interview, candidates will have a chance to discuss their passion for film and television, their experiences, and their future goals with the faculty. For students who applied for courses like Screen Acting, this next stage will specifically include an audition round . In an audition, students will showcase their acting skills directly to the selection committee. These interviews and auditions are designed to assess a candidate's suitability for the demanding and creative environment of FTII. Students will be shortlisted for these final rounds based on their performance in the entrance tests. After these personal assessment rounds, the institute will declare the ultimate list of admitted students. Finally, based on their ranks and course choices, qualified students will be assigned their respective study programs at FTII.
Key Details in Your Result
When you access your FTII JET result online, it will contain several important pieces of information. This includes:
- Your full name
- Your unique roll number for the examination
- The scores you obtained in Part A and Part B of the written examination
- Your overall rank among all candidates who appeared for the exam
- Your qualification status, indicating whether you have moved on to the next stages of admission
It is strongly recommended that all candidates download a copy of their result sheet or take a clear screenshot. This document should be kept safe and handy, as it may be required at various stages throughout the entire FTII JET admission process.
Requesting a Re-evaluation
Generally, the Film and Television Institute of India does not provide a system for re-evaluating the FTII JET results. This means that once your scores are declared, it is usually not possible to ask for your answer papers to be rechecked or for your marks to be changed. However, if a candidate believes there is a clear error or discrepancy in their evaluated answer sheet, they might be able to submit a request for a review of their answer scripts. Such requests typically need to be made within a very short, specified timeframe after the results are announced. It is important to note that even if a review is requested, the likelihood of any changes to the scores is usually very low.
Students aspiring to pursue a career in film and television at FTII should make sure to stay updated by regularly visiting the official FTII websites. All important announcements regarding results, interviews, auditions, and final admissions will be posted there.
