VFX Scope

It is really tough to directly comment any institute best or not or answer which is the best institute in a city or country , especially for domains like animation and VFX or gaming where many institutes offer many types of courses for different duration for the almost all the same pipeline .
We need to see the content of the course , duration, cost , infra, earlier students outputs and skill developed , in-time course completion record , certification process & delivery of certificate in time etc.
Also Same Brand has different centers and branches and fortunately/unfortunately all does not perform the same . Some centers are doing great some not, in vary place to place centers to centers and also on the local management & team.
So its always good to visit the institute personally, speak to them, see the track record and then decide if its up to the mark as per your requirement.

Bharat, VFX is a field of applying your design knowledge to create pleasing effects to highlight and progress the story. So typically a VFX person either comes from animation or film making. The lower end staff comes from graphics. Now, ideally a Course in either Animation or Film Making would qualify you to then take VFX as a specialization and also ensure that you stand on firm ground. Do not focus on what the certification is called, but search more on the learnings from the course. Something like VFX Pro at Arena or similar specialized course from elsewhere can be good. Only check if the faculty is of that level. Placement in VFX is better in South India because of Multiple regional film industries. It could be good in Hyderabad and Chennai besides the usual options in Mumbai which supports the Hindi as well as north region film industries. Technical Director is the best post for a VFX Artist. And low end are Rotoscoping and Wireframe removal artists. Alternatively, like in Programming where after BCA you go for MCA to be accomplished, you may like to pick up superior skills to enter the industry. I would suggest VFX Pro (with Nuke and Houdini). Unfortunately there are very few Houdini trainers in India. and that is also an opportunity for you since when you become one of the first few people trained in Houdini you can break the industry. And finding a job is easy since at least a huge number of houdini trainers are required and you can also become a trainer before moving into the industry - that is how most of the first movers gain a foothold. Arena Chandigarh 17 definitely has a Houdini Trainer right now since he trained in England and did nis Masters in VFX from Bournemoth University covering a similar course program. So if you can move to chandigarh to learn, you can make use of this wonderful opportunity. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

I could tell you that XYZ Institute is one of the best and go read online about it. I could tell you to search the youtube for 'best animation faculty' or 'best animation institute'. However these are only some of the methods of shortlisting. There is no such authentic one list of institutes that i can give you. All institute branches have same curriculum, like all states in India follow the same constitution. By same comparison all state progress differently and after a certain time the gap becomes huge. You could do well to create a list of places you may want to learn at, whether they are in your city or not. Then go to their websites and research about them, and even call them and talk to them. Try their website for more details. Typically go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website. Now shortlist some you want to visit. Do not hesitate to travel - this is about your life and career. After visiting those take a decision for yourself. Even if you have to travel to timbuctoo or chandigarh for that matter, it is important for your life, so do it. Here is an article by Arena Chandigarh Centre Head on Shiksha website about how to select the right college to help you in your research https://www.shiksha.com/questions-to-ask-before-you-pick-an-animation-college-article-4699-1.
