Game design

Although it's not mandatory, good maths background is helpful and required to become a good game programmer and designer.

Hi Baldeep,
Game designing in India is specifically not a sought after course as there are very few degrees available and lack of original designing too. If you are really keen to go for it a UG or PG degree from abroad is better.

You need to have a basic qualification of 12th to be able to pursue a valid course such as a degree. You can opt for open 12th and after that, go for the course.

If you want to become a game designer, you can choose any of the graduation degree among following education qualifications: B.Tech CSE/IT, BCA-MCA, B.Sc-M.Sc CS/IT depending on your interests and preferences. You can start your careers as Games developer and grow to become games designer.

Hi Suraj,
If you want to work abroad, you should probably study a game designing course abroad. Most foreign companies won't be interested to take you in unless you are an IITian and have work experience. Game industry is very good in Canada, Japan, Ireland, etc. so you can think of studying there.

There are a lot of basic skills that are same between a game designer and a web designer, and it is possible for one to be able to do the other with a little bit of practice and some education. Most game designers truly enjoy what they do and want their one and only focus to be the gaming world. A lot of web designers enjoy new challenges and creating new pages that are seen by millions of people every day. The deciding factor is generally the person and their interests. After their basic education, they will need to decide to move towards a more concentrated path such as game design or something more universal such as web design.

Hey Praveen,
Game designing is about strong skills in quants and high creativity. Apart from these, you must meet academic requirements for specific universities. Good academic record throughout, extra curricular activities, IELTS/TOEFL score, GRE if you are looking for MS especially from US etc. You must also submit a portfolio of your work to the university. I will suggest you visit websites of popular game design colleges across the world for specific entry requirements.

Try to get into NID (government institute) for game designing otherwise you may try in private institutes.

Yes, there are many Bachelors courses in game design, you can choose one depending on the syllabus.

Currently, no engineering college in India is offering B.Tech in game designing. Even, if some college offer you this course, it is recommended that you must not do such a narrow and niche B.Tech. Any computer graduation degree with games designing course is a better option for long term career growth.
