FTII JET Syllabus
The FTII-ET syllabus is specialization-specific. The 2025-26 prospectus describes Paper I as covering allied arts, literature, general knowledge and awareness relevant to course requirements, along with questions specific to the chosen area. Paper II uses descriptive questions to assess discipline knowledge. FTII does not publish one exhaustive chapter list that applies to every course.
| Preparation area | Possible scope under the prospectus |
|---|---|
| Allied arts and cinema | Film, television, visual arts, creative practice, media awareness and related art forms. |
| Literature and general awareness | Literature, culture, history, current affairs and general knowledge relevant to the chosen course. |
| Specialization knowledge | Concepts and practice in the selected area such as direction, cinematography, editing, sound, acting, screenwriting, or art direction. |
| Descriptive discipline assessment | Paper II tests written subject knowledge; consult the course-specific prospectus section for requirements. |
| Screen Acting exception | Separate written-test pattern with general/allied arts and acting-specific sections, followed by audition and interaction. |
Use the latest official prospectus for your selected specialization, practise expressing ideas clearly in writing, and prepare for practical or performance assessment where applicable. Past papers may reflect an earlier structure.
