In India, many institutions do not know the difference between Game Art, Game Design, Game Programming and Game Scripting. Except one or two premium colleges, the others have got a very weak curriculum which is a mixture of game art, game design and game programming. Or merely game art course which is misinformed as game design course. The B.Sc, BA, BFA do not matter at all. Depending on which university has given the validation, the courses are named as B.Sc BA or BFA. If we go as per international colleges, a game design course is always Arts oriented so it must be called as BA only. But in India, parents and even students wrongly assume BA as useless and only fit for nothing students would study BA. Certain fine arts universities have started giving approvals to colleges to conduct game courses. Such names will be BFA only. Look out for colleges which offer Dual Degree in Game Design wherein you have the advantage of both Indian and International Degree at the same time. Also, go through the detailed content and curriculum. Suppose, you are unable to understand the value of a content then consult any expert in the field of game who will be able to tell you which college offers the best course content. Also, check whether you are fit for a game design course. You need to be very good in logical reasoning, you should have good communication skills, you should be keen to learn fast changing technology, you should be able to generate new and interesting ideas which would make a good game. Many in India wrongly think that if they have good art skills, they can become good game designers. That's wrong. If someone is good in art then they should join game art course and not game design course.
