Before opting for animation and VFX related domain in India, be sure about the institute and its placement assistance. Ask them if their exams are getting conducted on time, if results are published in time. I have seen 90% of the students suffering due the above said issues after opting for a university certified graduation and other certification programs. According to me, you should join a long term certification course where the content of the course, duration, and almost everything remains the same. The price that you pay will be lesser, but all the responsibilities remain on the institute, hence easy to communicate in need, also, don't opt for a franchise. According to me, you should opt for BA, B.Com or B.Sc through distance along with the animation course.
