FTII Exam 2026 cancelled at one Delhi centre building after strong room breach
FTII Exam 2026 at one Delhi centre building was cancelled after a few candidates allegedly entered the strong room and manhandled staff, officials said. The disturbance followed a delay in paper distribution during the first shift and affected both shifts for that specific building.
Police and the FTII observer were present at the site when the incident occurred during the exam sessions on April 26-27, 2026 . An emergency meeting with the examination agency and the centre incharge led the FTII administration to call off the tests for candidates in that building.
Exams at all other centres proceeded peacefully, the administration said. No re-examination date has been announced; FTII will communicate the schedule to affected candidates later.
What happened during FTII Exam 2026 at the Delhi centre
During the first shift at the Delhi centre, a delay in paper distribution in one building triggered a law-and-order issue. A few candidates allegedly entered the building’s strong room and are accused of manhandling staff, prompting immediate intervention by on-site police and the FTII observer.
Following the disruption, the FTII administration held an emergency meeting with the examination agency and the centre incharge. Authorities then cancelled the remaining tests for that specific building, including the second shift after concerns were again raised.
FTII Exam 2026: next steps for affected candidates
FTII has said the matter will be investigated to identify the exact cause and the chronology of events. The administration has not provided details on the number of students involved, injuries, arrests, or any disciplinary action.
If you were a candidate scheduled in that building, expect a formal communication from FTII about the re-examination date. The institute has not shared proposed dates or a revised admission timeline.
Security and investigation
The FTII observer and police presence indicate authorities treated the incident as a serious breach of exam protocol. The investigation will look into how the strong room was accessed, the timeline of the paper distribution delay, and the sequence of events that followed.
Authorities emphasised that tests at other centres were unaffected and continued normally. FTII will announce the re-examination plan and any further instructions for affected candidates once the probe provides clarity.
