Hi,
Admissions in Institute of Hotel Management (IHMs) are based on the rank you get in National Counsel of Hotel Management and Catering Technology ( NCHMCT) Joint Entrance Exam. Whereas, IIHM conducts its own test/Interview for admissions.
Choosing an IHM over IIHM depends upon which IHM you are getting, If you are getting top IHMs such as IHM0-Pusa, Delhi, IHM-Mumbai, IHM-Bengaluru, IHM-Chennai, IHM-Kolkata or IHM-Aurangabad then you should prefer these IHMs over IIHM, and If you are getting the lower IHM like IHM-Hajipur, IHM-Dehradun, IHM-Shilong, IHM-Shimla, etc., then you should definitely go for IIHM.
Out of all the IIHMs, IIHM-Kolkata is considered as the best.
All the best.

For the most part, I would think that creating animation using some software is generally bound to be much easier/faster than hand-drawn animation. Compare adding two keyframes in software, say 1 second apart, to manually drawing the 20-odd frames for that same second. Not to mention the ability of software to easily duplicate and modify the work once done.
Having said that, I do see some advantages to hand-drawn frames. However, specific they may be:
1. The ability to capture some specific motion in a frame-by-frame drawn animation, cannot sometimes be matched by some software blindly interpolating between keyframes. Despite the amount of control offered by software today (eg. using complex hierarchical armature/rigs, controlling time-curves, etc.), it might still be better to draw each frame, in order for the artist to get the exact desired flow of motion.
2. A perhaps more important use is rotoscope. The idea of first shooting an actual video, and then artists 're-mastering' on top of the video frames, leads to some incredible artwork with the ability to do something to each individual frame, the artist can really take the mood conveyed by the animation to a whole new level just by varying the choice of medium (eg. charcoal, watercolor, etc), and also other parameters such as the strength of brush strokes, etc.

No, we don't lag behind at all.
Have you seen Bombay Velvet?
Many outdoor shots in the film are complete VFX.
Here are some pictures worth observing.
Animation studio was Prana Studios.
The main shot of Bombay Velvet: The club around which the film revolves.
One last point: VFX doesn't always mean dinosaurs and robot and aliens. The main point of a film should be to make it realistic. That is the sole reason why a fantasy feel-good film like Forrest Gump feels so real.
Animation and VFX also serve another purpose.
To make things look convincing.
To put it simply most of the directors here lack imagination. We have MBA from IIM serving as the head of animation companies, not someone who has been a part of the game.
Wrong people at the wrong place controlling the right workforce.
Future: Our rich culture is a major advantage for our technicians as they provide fertile ground for imagination, which is essential in this field. If the government too takes an initiative and encourages local talent and content, we could easily turn ourselves into a global VFX and animation hub in the next 10 to 15 years.

Steps to become an animation designer.
Animation designers, also referred to as animators, create the visual effects and animation featured in video games, movies and TV shows, as well as on websites. Created from computer software programs, 2D or 3D animations are used to replicate the features and movements of people, animals, places and things to tell a story or advertise a product. Animators often work long weeks and nights. Working weekends might also be necessary to meet deadlines.
Let's take a look at the steps needed to become an animation designer.
Step 1: Learn to draw
An animation is based on traditional drawing skills, so aspiring animators will want to develop observational drawing skills, especially the use and control of line.
Step 2: Earn a Bachelor's degree
Earning a Bachelor's degree in animation can prepare students for a career in media arts, illustration, Web design, film and television. Students take fundamental courses in drawing, graphics, storyboarding, character motion and art design.
Step 3: Put together a demo reel
While in school, students usually create a portfolio, DVD or website to showcase their best work. Some educational programs feature a senior project for students to demonstrate their creativity, artistry and proficiency in various software programs.Step 4: Consider industry certification
Earning a certification can be a good way to stand out, as only a Bachelor's degree is required for senior animator positions, according to job postings. Certifications in this career field are typically offered by software publishers, such as Adobe.
