BFA

Hi Pankaj,
One of the best approach while deciding on your subjects/ stream is to opt for something that you are good at and would enjoy doing keeping in mind your personality, aptitude, ability, strengths and career goals.
All the branches are equally good, it totally depends for which branch you are most passionate about. To give you an overview of all the braches, I have mentioned the details below :
1. Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting)
The Painting focuses on the exploration of two dimensional areas. Students have the opportunity to encounter a variety of processes including intaglio, lithography, the drawing techniques and media of watercolor, acrylic and oil painting. Students leave the program with a portfolio of work that can lead to the beginning of a career as a studio artist, to admission to an advanced degree in studio art, or to opportunities for employment in the art world.
2. Bachelor of Fine Arts (Applied Arts)
Applied Art is a contemporary form of art used as a powerful tool for visual publicity, especially in the immensely creative, rewarding and vital field of advertising. Applied Art with specific reference to the advertising industry is an ever-evolving discipline and offers exciting opportunities for career aspirants seeking a bright and rewarding future.
3. Bachelor of Fine Arts (Sculpture)
The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program in sculpture is designed to promote a serious investigation into all facets of contemporary sculpture including history, theory, technical processes, conceptual strategies and formal issues specific to the study of sculpture. Graduate students may choose to work within any medium and to direct their study to any three-dimensional specialization such as installation, performance, public art, environmental sculpture, or any of the studio practices.
*Job roles after BFA-

Kshipra, If you're creative, you can always consider going for Design and Animation. This is a field where nobody cares for your qualification, they only see if you can do quality work. A good mentor and wise selection of courses with a good school, followed by diligent learning, would get you a head start in your career. However, you must check your suitability for this field. Animation is an art form and a very demanding career. It has ample opportunities for the creatively talented people. Opportunities lie in UI Design, Graphic Design, Storyboarding, Animation Design, Game Design, 3D Modelling, Texturing and Lighting, Dynamics and VFX and of course animation (2D and 3D). Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, and of course Game Studios. However, choosing between these must be done after seeing your performance in each of these. So going for a generic course covering all or most of these would be the best way to get started in these careers. Typically you should have good sketching skills to be able to make a sound career in this (if you work hard you can improve your drawing skills tremendously). You may also like to read this about the kind of preparation the best students put into design http://bit.ly/1ddUSi8. Nothing but your innermost talent and passion should lead you to the course and the institute you choose. Go speak to people over there and see if you like their philosophy and they change your perspective.Try their website for more details. Also remember that Animation requires good mentoring. Typically go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website. Here is an article by Arena Chandigarh Centre Head on Shiksha website about how to select the right college https://www.shiksha.com/questions-to-ask-before-you-pick-an-animation-college-article-4699-1. And here is a complete snapshot of Gaming Industry by me on Shiksha website https://www.shiksha.com/from-gaming-to-game-designing-article-5827-1. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like
