38 students who failed in few of the subjects have been promoted but they will have to perform in the next two months, else they too will have to repeat.

Speaking to India Today, a senior faculty member said that the academic results for last 6 months have just been declared and generally speaking FTII doesn't have failures. Those on borderline and with backlogs will be encouraged that he/she is weak in particular subject and has to work on it.

But those who have not submitted the written work and have failed in mandatory subjects and are short of attendance in almost all classes, these students will be asked to repeat the semester. And if the students fail to clear it for the second time, then he/she will be out of the institute.

As of now, 8 of the students who have failed will have to vacate the hostel and re-enter the institute with the fresh batch in the month of August 2017. These 8 students who have failed will again have to repay the term fees that is around Rs 54,000.
