All the three are entirely different. First, decide whether you want to go into technology / programming side or design / creative side. Suppose you are keen in a career which uses creativity/design etc. then cloud computing should not be chosen. Next, check whether you want to get into corporate level employment or studio based film environment. Accordingly, you should choose either web or VFX as your field. Finally, if you zero down on the web, then get into UI / UX design course. That's the present and is also the future. A web designer will start with 12000 - 18000 monthly pay even if it is a great company. But a UI Designer starts

VFX is a specialized subject of study. It is just not about learning computer software as certain students think. As VFX is linked with Film making, cinematography, photography, storytelling, direction, working on VFX software, having a good knowledge about CG etc., an Under Graduate Degree is a must if one is serious about making big in the VFX industry. Unfortunately in our country, passionate students are often misled or not given encouragement by parents and their family members as they are not completely aware about the subject of study and the vastness of the career scope. But, things are improving fast and nowadays thousands of

Except one or two colleges, majority do not teach VFX as a standalone course. If a course is totally a specialized VFX course, then it would require at least 1000 hours of teaching at a PG or Diploma level and 2500 - 3000 hours at UG Degree level. The cost per hour could be anywhere between Rs. 150 - Rs. 300. So, expect a fee around 1.5 to 2 lakhs for a PG / Diploma course and 5-6 lakhs for a UG Degree course.

Comparing engineering and multimedia is totally wrong. From the academic point of view, the subjects of study in engineering is completely different from the subjects one learns in animation. Both engineering and animation have their own scopes. In India, engineering has been studied by several cores of people in the last several years.
In today's scenario, except a small percentage, majority choose engineering thinking that they will get a good employment in IT company. So, except 15-20% of engineers who score good mark and have excellent subject knowledge and practical knowledge, others are unable to find the right jobs even after com

Hi,
According to me, it is a short time big advantage course for you. There are as good as many streams in VFX and multimedia:
1. Mastering in visual effects and animation
2. Mastering in mixing artist
3. Mastering in premiere pro, etc.
So, if you want to join VFX specialization or any of it then it would be better for you. I hope, there are many good institutes in Kolkata. According to me, you can join MAAC or Arena Animation. There are also others like REBUS, Hi-Tech, Big AIMS, etc.
I hope you will understand.
Thank you.
