VFX

Hello Gaurav Das,
Your question is exactly on career and job segment. According to my experience, there's lot of career scope in animation and VFX field. Animation and VFX is the biggest part of Media and entertainment industry.
According to FICCI report, Media and Entertainment Industry is highly a growing field right now. The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) is an association of business organisations in India. The media and entertainment industry in India consists of many different segments under its folds such as television, print, and films, radio, music, OOH, animation, gaming and visual effects (VFX) and internet advertising. You can work all these segments. In these segments, you need just understanding of software skill, tools of the industry no further required.
As per the combined survey report by KMPG and FICCI, the entertainment industry in India is expected to expand by 12.5% every year and is likely to reach US$20.09 billion by the year 2013. The industry is estimated to achieve growth of 13 percent in 2011 to touch US$16.2 billion. As the industry braces for exciting times ahead, the sector is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19 percent by 2020 which is the highest growth as compared to other fields, which means more income and jobs. In MNCs like Pixar, Technicolor (Bangalore), Rhythm and Hues (Hyderabad), Red Chilies, Prime Focus, DQ entertainment, etc. salaries are more than software engineers. If you are interested in this field, you can just join a professional career based course in the best institute. No degree is required in this field because I have already mentioned that Animation and VFX depends on creativity and software skills.
There are many colleges and institutions for Animation in India. If you wanna really choose right place for this filed focus on just few things. These things are Mentors (Faculty), course content, career opportunities (Placement), Environment and Equipments (Labs). Only these things can make a brand and in India, there are just few branded institutes which provide a quality education in Animation field. For your more information please visit:

Dear Vaibhav,
Over the last few years, animation and fashion designing industry have seen tremendous growth. Many Indian film studios, production houses and animation companies have been offering great number of jobs to skilled animation graduates. Indian students have a lot of potential and skills to even make it till Oscar in animation and VFX. Many colleges offer placements to their students soon after their graduation. An average starting salary of an animator is 2.5k to 3 lakhs per annum and the highest salary always depends on the experience and skills of the individual.

Hi,
Yes, there are many animation and design courses available for you after your class 12th. There are two kinds of animation/ VFX courses available. One is a Diploma course and another is2-3 year's regular full time degree program. There are many animation and design colleges across the country which offers these sorts of programs. If you are keen on learning all the skills of animation and VFX thoroughly, we recommend that you join a 3 year degree in animation program. If you are already a professional animator or designer who wants to enhance skill for the growth in career, it is advisable to go for a Diploma course. Diploma courses are generally short term courses.

After class 10th, obviously one should do Plus two only. If I understand your question as what group you must select in plus two, then it does not matter much but a basic knowledge of Physics would always be useful while making complicated animations. If you are good in art, then do choose Biology along with Physics as it would give you ample opportunity to practise art which would be very crucial to design characters and complicated objects when you study animation course. Suppose your question is which animation course you should study after 10th, then I am sorry, that is not at all the right way to approach animation. Like any other field, animation is also highly technical, creative, intellectual, academic etc. So please plan to pursue a full time degree after +2 if you are aspiring to take animation as your career.

Hi Ashish,
There are many colleges and institutions for animation in India. If you want to really choose right place for this field focus on just few things. These things are mentors (faculties), course content, career opportunities (placement), environment and equipment's (labs).
