Dear Ankush, If you're creative, you can always consider going for Design and Animation. This is a field where nobody cares for your qualification, they only see if you can do quality work. Typically you should have good sketching skills to be able to make a sound career in this. If you work hard and are at an institute which understands the importance of drawing, you can improve your drawing skills tremendously - so avoid institutes which underplay the importance of drawing.

A good mentor and wise selection of courses with a good school, followed by diligent learning, would get you a head start in your career. However, you must check your suitability for this field. Animation is an art form and a very demanding career. It has ample opportunities for the creatively talented people.
Opportunities lie in UI Design, Graphic Design, Storyboarding, Animation Design, Game Design, 3D Modelling, Texturing and Lighting, Dynamics and VFX and of course animation (2D and 3D). Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, and of course Game Studios. However, choosing between these must be done after seeing your performance in each of these. So going for a generic course covering all or most of these would be the best way to get started in these careers.
Nothing but your innermost talent and passion should lead you to the course and the institute you choose. Go speak to people over there and see if you like their philosophy and they change your perspective.Try their website for more details. Also remember that Animation requires good mentoring. Typically go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website.

Animation calls for a wide bouquet of skills from traditional art skills to articulation skills, storytelling to aesthetic appreciation, and creativity to technical prowess.

Dear Ankush, though animation is a creative field but drawing is not a necessity to be a part of this industry or have a career. Animation is a very broad field and has many dimensions including 3d, Visual effects, Graphics and Web Design, Gaming and Film Making. Having good hands at drawing could be an advantage but is required more in graphics or 2D. Since you're more inclined towards animation, I would like to clarify that it doesn't require that much or sketching or drawing. You can chose any of the field out of which I've mentioned above and can easily make your career. animation and VFx industry is currently the fastest growing i
