According to my experience lots of career scope in animation and VFX field. Animation and VFX is biggest part of Media and Entertainment industry.
Accordingly FICCI report, Media and Entertainment Industry is highly growth field right now.
The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) is an association of business organizations in India.
The media and entertainment industry in India consists of many different segments under it's folds, such as television, print, and films, radio, music, OOH, animation, gaming and visual effects (VFX) and Internet advertising. You can work all these segments.
In these segments, you need just understanding of software skill, tools of the industry no further requirement is needed.
As per the combined survey report by KMPG and FICCI, the entertainment industry in India is expected to expand by 12.5% every year and is likely to reach US$20.09 billion by the year 2013.
The industry is estimated to achieve growth of 13 per cent in 2011 to touch US$16.2 billion. As the industry braces for exciting times ahead, the sector is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19 percent 2020 which is highest growth as compare to other fields that mean more income and jobs.

There is a lot of confusion about this. ICFAI University Tripura, Sikkim are listed as recognised private universities on UGC websites but there are a few notifications about territorial jurisdiction of these degrees offer which says that any private university can't offer degrees through franchise or off campus mode which are located out of the state where university is located. For eg. ICFAI Tripura is listed as recognised on UGC deb for offering distance learning programmes but it can't offer degree from learning center located in Maharashtra.
Now to this notification or clause, high court have issued an stay order stating that territorial jurisdiction condition is to avoid any kind of commercialisation of education and not for geographical limits.
So, basically everything is unclear. Better go for IGNOUI or something which is more safer and also affordable than ICFAI.
