CBSE 12th

Sidhant, if you're creative you can pursue the field of design. Design is a field that is age old and has been evolving every year like science. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamoured by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design. They must read this http://bit.ly/SXc9GD. Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D Printing, Immersive Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Projection etc, besides of course Game Design & Animation. Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing (usually reserved for writers and visionaries) - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, & of course Game Studios. At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world and the careers it offers. There are many careers for the creative/ artistic people. Interiors, textile as well as Web Design rely on the same skills - your layout skills and color sense. Journalism also is at this level and relies on your language skills & knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches Graphic Design, Fashion Design, jewellery design, Acting, & Fine Arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching & imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as Motion Graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills - Cinematographic skills & imagination. Then come careers like Animation, Film Making, Game Design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling and problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world & hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers. You may also like to read this about the kind of preparation the best students put into design http://bit.ly/1ddUSi8. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion & expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

You have already been replied about a variety of career options available after 12th but I know how confusing it is to select one field that's why I would like to give my suggestion on that. I think one should seriously consider current market forces and industry trends before choosing a career field as this is what matters in the end of completion of a course. I feel hospitality and tourism sector has huge potential considering the fact that the Prime Minister himself is stressing on tourism in and out of the country. Therefore, I would definitely advise you to make your career in this field if you find it interesting. Gain maximum skills regarding this industry and make their fortune! Hospitality and Tourism is a very delicate sector if you catch the nerve of this industry you can easily become a king! So, I would advise, go for a proper training before entering in this sector. Like you can go for BBA in hotel travel and tourism. UTM Shillong is a very good university offering this program and as Shillong itself is a tourist destination you can learn a lot here. UTM's program aims to train and develop professionals for hospitality and tourism industry. Program helps students acquire a thorough knowledge and understanding of MARKETING, Sales, Tour Planning, Tour Operation, Holiday Consulting and foreign exchange management for tourists. If you are serious about this industry then do go for UTM only.So, choose wisely and best of luck!

Hello Nikhil,
XII is a very important milestone for your life. You may get yourself a proper counselling or psychometric analysis done to understand the prefered direction. Based on your inclination you may decide the direction and commence preparing towards the same.
As you have posted in AVGC segment. I will update you about Animation- Vfx-Gaming-Comic segment. It is a highly exciting, youthful career. It needs lot of passion, patience and Creativity to become Creative Artist. Ensure that you possess it.
You could also do a Animation and Digital Media program which covers all the aspects desired to become an avid designer. Such course prepares you for Gaming, Animation Studios, Production Houses, Web, Ad agencies, Home entertainment through TV, e-learning etc.
Digital Media and Animation related programs are offered by lot of Government Colleges and Autonomous Institutes & Universities.
While choosing any institute ensure that you are taught by Experienced & proficient Mentors. Also ensure adequate infrastructure, industry interface & validate placement track record of alumni's. Learning Software alone won't help you. First acquire artistic skills on paper, then learn application software's for expressing skills in the Digital Medium.
