It is difficult to say for sure which animation institute utilises the latest tools and technology while teaching students without being in the industry ourselves. The industry updates itself constantly. We in India mostly use a decade old software and techniques. However, I would suggest you research about institutes by going there and talking to the faculty and students reading reviews on the internet.
Currently, institutes like Arena, MAAC and colleges like NID are famous for animation courses. But I would repeat my advice that you go to their campuses and judge by yourself. Look into what version of software they use, what devices they use. Look up portfolios of its previous batches. Animation Institutes in India are not very stable as teachers drop midway through the course and go for a better job.

Hi reader,
It is not too easy to maintain your job and pursue VFX course too. Institute which provides education for VFX course mostly runs for 2 hours and 3 days in a week. You have to arrange your timing apart from your job timing plus there will be practice works, assignments and projects too. It will be very hard for one to continue his job with learning, but it's not impossible too. In this course, a visual-effects artist and supervisor create special effects, animation and do visual clean-up for feature films and commercials. One day, you may be supervising a shot of film extras so they can be digitally duplicated into a scene and I do not think your job could have any connection with this course, which will create problems for you later. So, the only thing you can do is you have to ask the course faculty to give you classes on your free time and inform them about your job situation too, they will find a way for you easily but it will take a long time to complete your course because you cant give full time to your education. It will be like, if a normal student took 3-years in the course, you will give around 4-years to master the course.

Hi reader,
I am a graphic designing student. Actually, graphic designers create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform and captivate consumers. They develop the overall layout and production design for various applications such as for advertisements, brochures, magazines, and corporate reports and I actually do not have much idea about civil engineering. Only thing I know is you should do your work only when you enjoying it, if it is burden on you, you should quit. You also look quite confused, you have to clear yourself what actually your dream is? And graphic designing is a course which you can learn any time in your lifespan. The job opportunities in this field are endless. What really matters is, are you enjoying your job. if you really want to be a graphic designer then there are no issues in coming to this field, you will always be welcome. Also, you can pursue the course after completing civil engineering.
Best of luck for your dreams and future.

Hello,
Opting for higher studies or pursue a job is a very common dilemma of every student, regardless of the field. In the current volatile market conditions, many students who are not able to get a job, option for higher studies. Because of this, the market is over-saturated with inexperienced students who have accomplished higher studies. Therefore, my suggestion is to pursue a job as soon as you get an offer in a field of your interest. Work in the industry for approximately 4 - 5 years. This is the time you will be acquainted with the practical dimension of your field. Once done, you can opt for higher studies. Further, having an industry experience in a relevant field also makes pursuing the higher studies a lot easier. Once you have completed your higher studies, your current degree,as well as your previous experience will surely get you a much better career.
