Design

Hi Karan,
To make a career in automobile designing, you have to pursue a course related to this field. Go for Automotive Design Engineering instead of plain Automobile Engineering. Curriculum varies a lot as per the specialization and the specialization to be a car designer is B.tech in Automotive Designing.
Car designing has a lot of opportunities where most of the car companies hire the designers and engineers to build fuel efficient and light cars. This branch of engineering has very good opportunities abroad where big firms like Mercedes, Suzuki, BMW hire car designers to build their automobiles. This course is being offered by many good colleges like UPES, Manipal, DYP-DC Center for Automotive Research and Studies (Pune).
If you are willing to pursue Automotive designing, then look at the companies that visits a certain college. Have a look at the placements before taking admissions. Last year UPES did well in terms of placement. Every year the ranking changes. All the best.

Hi Gargi,
Design is a field that is age old and has been evolving every year like science.
The world has changed a lot and a lot of new and wonderful careers in design have come up. Sometimes student artists are too much enamored by fine arts preventing them to look objectively at design. Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge.
Similarly in design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D Printing, Immersive Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Projection etc., besides of course game design and 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, and of course game studios. At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world and the careers it offers. 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 and knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches graphic design, fashion design, jewelry design, acting, and fine arts which rely on one of your artistic skills, sketching and imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as motion graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills, cinematographic skills and imagination. Then come careers like animation, film making, and 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 and hence may earn in dollars, resulting in better rewards for designers.
