Important Points to Remember:

While preparing the program and course-wise merit list after Stage-1 and Stage-2 of FTII JET 2025 selection process, if two or more students have the same marks at any stage of seat allocation, the following tie-breaking rules will be applied, one after the other, until the tie is resolved:

B) Tie in Stage-2 Qualification

If students score the same marks and meet the cut-off for qualifying into Stage-2, all of them will be considered qualified.

C) Tie in Final Course Merit List

If two or more students have the same total marks after Stage-1 and Stage-2 during final seat allocation, the following tie-breakers will be used in order:

• Student with higher marks in Stage-2 will be given a higher rank.
• If Stage-2 marks are equal, student with higher combined marks in Stage-1 (Paper I and II) will be ranked higher.
• If combined Stage-1 marks are also equal, student with higher marks in Paper-II will be ranked higher.
• If Paper-II marks are also equal, student with higher marks in Paper-I will be ranked higher.
• If Paper-I marks are also equal, the student older in age will be ranked higher.
• If all the above fail to break the tie, a random draw (such as a chit system) will be conducted to determine the final rank.

FTII JET Selection Process 2025: Document Verification

Document verification will not take place during FTII JET 2025 written test. Instead, the initial verification of documents will be done when the answer sheets are being evaluated. If any of the submitted documents, such as educational, caste, PwD, OBC-NCL, or EWS certificates, do not meet the required criteria, the applicant’s application may either be cancelled or considered under the unreserved category. Therefore, it is important for candidates to carefully upload all necessary documents during the FTII JET 2025 application process, as only these will be considered for the admission process.

FTII JET Selection Process 2025: Seat Allocation

FTII, Pune and SRFTI, Kolkata admit students based on the FTII JET 2025 exam. The seat allocation process for both institutes is managed through the Joint Seat Allocation or JSA system. This system will include four rounds of seat allocation. The FTII JET 2025 seat allocation process will be conducted online. 

• Applicants must visit the official JSA portal using their FTII JET 2025 login credentials to register and fill in their choices for courses and institutes. There is no fee for filling in choices, and they can select up to five courses. 
• Only one seat will be allotted based on these choices, provided the candidate appears on up to three merit lists published by the institutes.
• Candidates must fill and save at least one course choice to be considered for allocation. Failing to do so will disqualify them from the seat allocation process.
• When a seat is allocated, candidates must log in to the JSA portal and accept the seat by completing "Online Reporting." They must then pay a Seat Acceptance Fee of ₹50,000 through UPI/ Net Banking/ Debit card or Credit card to confirm their seat. This fee will later be adjusted against the total admission fee. 
• The seat will only be confirmed after successful payment, and a Provisional Seat Allotment Letter will be available for download on the portal. Non-payment of the seat acceptance fee will result in the cancellation of the seat, and the candidate will no longer be eligible for future rounds of seat allocation.
• If a student does not wish to accept the allocated seat, they can reject it by simply not completing the steps for "Online Reporting." This will automatically cancel their seat.
• Candidates can choose between the "Freeze" or "Float" options:
  • Freeze: The applicant is satisfied with the allocated seat and does not want to participate in further rounds.
  • Float: The applicant accepts the current seat but is open to a higher preference seat if available in subsequent rounds.

FTII JET Selection Process 2025: Reporting at the Admitting Institute

After the completion of JSA 2025 and seat acceptance, candidates must report to the admitting institute to finalize their admission. During this visit, they are required to complete all necessary admission procedures and confirm their enrollment to begin the academic session. The institute will conduct a physical verification of all submitted certificates by comparing them with the originals. If any discrepancies are found, or if the documents do not meet the required standards, the admission will be cancelled.
