Film & TV

Your selection in FTII is completely based on your interest, dedication and most importantly your knowledge about each and every detail about the medium. For preparation there are different books I would suggest you to go through the Manorama Yearbook 2017 for current affairs and general knowledge. For books for film studies you can refer to Film Art and some other books like How to read a film. Also internet can help you the most like referring to websites giving information on films and YouTube videos. Finally your dedication and hard work will help you the most.

If you are confident that you can earn a living from film industry than definitely do that. Else, what you can do is to first do an MBA, job, be self-dependent, and then further continue your passion in film/photography industry.

Hi,
I understand you are stuck in between your goals ahead. You have completed your 12th in arts and finding it difficult to pursue courses ahead right?

Mass communication and journalism are two different things. Journalism is purely related to news, whereas, mass communication is a wider term. You can opt for various specialised Diploma courses in different subjects.

Balaji Telefilms, Subhash Ghai Institute, Anupam Kher Academy, Symbiosis Pune etc. are few institutes.

Hi Apurba!
Generally, there is no entrance exam to pursue B.A. Course in acting. There might be an interview and audition to check your aptitude for the course. Still, every institute has its own criteria for admission. Please mention the name of the college that you're interested in, so that I can guide you better.
