Hi Vanish,
These are the top film making institutes in India:
1. FTII, Pune
2. Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute
3. Whistling Woods International, Mumbai
4. Asian Academy of Film and Television
5. ZIMA, Mumbai.

There are degrees/Certifications in Film Making, Direction Animation etc. While doing a basic Mass Media Course all these can be done. Together. To do a specialisation in ONE out of the Two Direction and Animation, a Degree in Animation can be pursued. If you mean DOING THESE TWO AS CAREERS/WORKS (NOT Studies) these can surely be done together in the filed.

Hello,
It is as simple is that- you can not say film direction is only a job where you expect fix salary on month end, while in animation career there are various streams where you may get into a job as an employee on a fixed salary. I would say job wise animation is good stream than to film direction.
Thank you!
