Why is the FTII ET 2025-26 Re-Exam Being Held?
FTII conducted the written Stage 1 test for the 2025-26 batch on April 26, 2026. The examination was cancelled at the Delhi centre after a major operational disruption, and a review of other centres raised concerns about the overall fairness and integrity of the process. FTII took the decision to re-conduct the full examination for all papers and all students at the national level.
The re-exam ensures a uniform and credible assessment for students applying to FTII’s courses in film direction, editing, cinematography, sound recording, screenplay writing, and other disciplines. The original re-exam date of June 22, 2026 was further extended to July 12, 2026 to allow adequate preparation time and logistics.
