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

Hi Shivam!
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 everyone). There is an orientation session with the interview which helps prospective students understand the space.
