Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) Erandwana Pune Answered Questions

Hi Arvind,
Unlike an exam, there are no set of questions that the panel interviewing asks. The questions depend on who you are, what you have studied, where you have worked or about the work you want to show or talk to them about. One question leads to another and the conversation can steer in any direction. So ideally, there can be no preparation for this. You can only be positive and take the questions head on and answer with confidence and conviction.
It is also important for you to know why you want to study in FTII (a question they ask every candidate) and should be able to make this understand to the interviewer in a convincing way.
