JK News Today
Jammu, January 14:
For the first time in J&K, India’s two most reputed centres of film and television education are conducting Admission Seminars for the academic session in 2018.
Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) Pune and Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) Kolkata (both Institutions under Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Govt. of India ) have announced Joint Entrance Test (JET) for 2018 admissions. The all-India test will be on 18th February in 26 centres across the country which includes Jammu and Srinagar in Jammu & Kashmir.
As this  is the first time both institutes have come together for a common entrance test, FTII is conducting Admission Seminars in various locations across the country. Such seminars will generate awareness about JET, about the increased number of courses on offer and provide an opportunity to prospective candidates to seek clarifications from FTII representatives who will be addressing such seminars.
Between January 10-14, Admission Seminars have been held in Uttarakhand  (Haldwani and Dehradun), Banasthali Vidyapeeth and Jaipur (Rajasthan),Somaiya Vidyavihar and Mumbai (Maharashtra.) Guwahati (Assam),Imphal (Manipur) and Bhubaneswar (Orissa).
“FTII aims to attract maximum participants to these Seminars so that a large number of prospective candidates from J&K get an opportunity to take the JET exams this year. This year FTII is making special efforts to increase entrance test enrolment in regions such as Jammu & Kashmir where the candidate turn out is  traditionally low”, said Bhupendra Kainthola announcing FTII’s plans to reach out to states with low turn out in FTII- SRFTI entrance tests.
In Jammu the Admission Seminar would be from 12 noon to 2 pm on Tuesday,  16th January at Press Club of Jammu, Near Exhibition Ground, Dogra Chowk
in Jammu
Subhashish Roy, FTII Faculty in Dept of Sound Recording and Sound Design accompanied by Pankaj Saxena, FTII Alumnus  will be conducting the Seminar.
Candidates applying for admission to FTII and SRFTI need to go through a multi-stage selection process. The first stage in this selection process is an All India level written examination called as the Joint Entrance Test, 2018 (JET 2018).
JET 2018 is a written test of three hours duration consisting of objective type and subjective questions and will be conducted in 26 centers across India. Based on the JET 2018 score of the candidates, FTII and SRFTI will send call letters to the candidates for the Second stage of the selection process and thereafter, on successful accomplishment of all the requisites, finally admit students in their full time regular programmes for the academic year 2018.
JET 2018 will be held on Sunday, 18th February 2018 in two sessions (forenoon & afternoon).
