ENTER THE WORLD OF GLAMOUR

 

 

 

 

 

With fast changing times, youngsters across the country are being attracted towards glamourised fields. Film and TV, theatre, fashion and media are the trending professions which can give them fame and finance, both in abundance. Here are the respective top most colleges in all four fields, with their detailed descriptions. These institutes have become ‘brands’ now, by remaining on premier rank since their inception.

 

 

The National School of Drama (NSD) is one of the foremost theatre training institutions in the world and the only one of its kind in India. It was set up by the Sangeet Natak Akademi as one of its constituent units in 1959. In 1975, it became an independent entity and was registered as an autonomous organisation under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860, fully financed by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India.

 

 

 

The selection is a two phase process. The candidate should appear for a preliminary examination and if selected then he/she has to appear for a final examination workshop. The School reserves the right to shortlist a number of candidates for audition/preliminary interview on the basis of its own evaluation of candidates in theatre and allied arts.

 

 

 

The Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) was set up by the Government of India in 1960, in the premises of the erstwhile Prabhat Studios in Pune. The FTII campus currently stands on the grounds of the erstwhile Prabhat Studio. Prabhat Studio was a pioneer in the business of filmmaking and shifted to Pune from Kolhapur in 1933. The old studios of Prabhat are now heritage structures and FTII students continue to work at the world’s oldest functioning film shooting studios.

 

 

 

The admission process consists of the nationally administered Joint Entrance Test (JET), and subsequent rounds of Orientation / Interview. On the basis of performance in JET, the list of candidates shortlisted for the next level of selection will be made available on the website of the Institute. The institute will send interview letters to the shortlisted candidates directly.
