FTII has been accused of not filling the seats reserved for OBC, SC and ST categories by a student association while admitting students to the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) for the academic year 2021. The association members staged a protest on the FTII Pune campus against the "gross mockery of reservation" at the country's premier film and television training institute.
