On Sunday, the FTII Pune entrance examination at a Delhi centre was disrupted after candidates raised concerns over alleged irregularities, leading to confusion and chaos at the venue.
The exam, held at MD Indraprastha School in the Begumpur area, saw delays as students questioned the condition and handling of question papers and raised doubts about exam security arrangements.
Candidates alleged that some question paper packets appeared torn or already opened, raising concerns over a possible breach. Suspicion grew after officials reportedly said only two sets of papers were received instead of four. The exam was delayed, with students left waiting without clear communication even after the scheduled start time.
Students also pointed to multiple administrative lapses, including the absence of proper frisking, permission for mobile phones inside the centre, biometric verification issues, and malfunctioning devices. Some candidates reported confusion over room allocation and seating arrangements.
As the situation unfolded, uncertainty grew at the centre with no clear communication for a considerable time, leaving candidates confused about the conduct of the test. Several aspirants also expressed concern over administrative issues and lack of proper coordination at the venue, which added to the disruption.
Eventually, candidates were told that the examination had been postponed, with further details expected to be shared later. However, no formal on-ground clarification was issued by officials at the centre. At present, candidates are awaiting official confirmation regarding the rescheduling of the exam, as uncertainty continues over the next steps.
