FTII Entrance Exam Cancelled at Delhi Centre Due to Security and Management Issues

The Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) entrance exam at a Delhi centre was cancelled amid concerns over question paper security and examination management. Candidates reported unsealed or torn question paper packets, lack of frisking, and delayed communication. Earlier, a law and order issue arose when some candidates allegedly entered a strong room and confronted staff. Police and FTII officials were present, and re-examination dates will be announced later.
