Dear Anjali, It's really good to hear that after completing B.COM your interest shown towards the animation.Its really a good choice to your career.But before planning to do animation , some important things you need to know about animation. i.e. what is animation? , what does it includes?,what is the career growth in animation?whether you are eligible to do? etc there is lots of questions which differs. As per my knowledge Animation is not a simple thing.it is one of the most demanding career option of today's generation.The most important eligibility criteria required to be fulfilled to any students to pursue in the field of the animation is to be creative and imaginative and artistic abilities like drawing, sketching.etc. There are more courses. you can choose 2D or 3D animation, either you can go BSC Animation ( i.e.3years course) or Diploma course (i.e.18 months ).Two courses have more scope and good career. Hope you got my points.
For any further details feel free to ask.
Thanks.

Aditya, If you're creative, you can always consider going for Design and Animation. 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). 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. Typically you should have good sketching skills to be able to make a sound career in this (if you work hard you can improve your drawing skills tremendously). 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.
