Santanu, 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. In fact, the University Model has not succeeded in any Skill field across the world. 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. 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).

Hi Tasmin,
Post Graduate (PG) Diploma in Medicine is a programme which can be pursued after completing MBBS degree from an institute recognized by Medical Council of India. Duration of the course can vary from one year to three years, depending on the type of specialty one is pursuing or the institute offering the course. During the course, one learns more about the practical aspects of the course rather than the theoretical aspects of the specialization course one opts for. At the end of the course, the candidate receives a PG Diploma Certificate. After this programme, one can work with a government or a private hospital, or one can even open an independent clinic and contribute in the wellbeing of the society one lives in.
