Hi,Best thing for you would be to pursue Bachelor in design. Pursuing this course will sharpen your design skills. The top colleges to pursue B.DES are:UPES Dehradun,
National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad,
Industrial Design Center (IDC) - IIT Bombay,
Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM),
IISc etc.
There are enormous opportunities for the B.Des graduates to secure a job in private sector or government organizations. Many private organizations such as jewelry studios, boutiques, hotels, fashion media, marketing sector, manufacturing units, and quality control offices, etc. offer good packages to the B.Des candidates.

Hi HarishYou can go for a diploma.
However, I would encourage you to look at the entire field of design at this stage. Design is a field that is age old and has been evolving every year like science. The world has changed a lot and a lot of new & wonderful careers in design have come up. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamored by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design.
Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D printing,

Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D printing, immersive technology, augmented reality, 3D projection etc., besides of course game design and animation. Of course at the top of the pile lies concept designing (usually reserved for writers and visionaries) - these people are required by event companies, animation studios, VFX Studios, and of course game studios.
At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world and the careers it offers. Interiors, textile as well as Web Design rely on the same skills, your layout skills and color sense. Journalism also is at this level and relies on your language skills and knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches graphic design, fashion design, jewelry design, acting, and fine arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching and imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as motion graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills, Cinematographic skills and imagination. Then there are careers like animation, film making, game design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling and problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted.
Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, VFX, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world & hence may earn in dollars, resulting in better rewards for designers.
