Yes Krishna, Designers need to sketch well. And whatever anyone says this requirement would remain. To think freely and discuss new ideas you need to draw out your ideas in detail. And one more important thing, do consider designing as a career. Design is a field that is age old and has been evolving every year like science. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamoured by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design. They must read this http://bit.ly/SXc9GD. 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 - 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, jewellery 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 come 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. 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.

Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion & expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best.

Hi Saurav
Getting admission in MBA or PGDM or PGP of any Indian Bschool will mandate you to take either of CAT, XAT or GMAT exams. There are other state level admission tests like CMAT in Maharashtra and MAT at an pan India level. Average salary depends on the Bschool you apply for and get final admission into. It is also a function of your background, your performance throughout Bschool curriculum and specially your performance in the interview process. Although it is true that people who have relevant work experience can get a tad higher salary than a fresher but that difference is not huge. To get a general feel of average salary of top 10 Indian Bschools, it ranges from 14-18 lpa. The fresher salary remains about that range only.

Hi Diya, understanding your MAT score to be good, I believe you will sail through well in the shortlisting part of VJIM, Hyderabad as long as you do justice to the PI. I am a student there so naturally am biased about its quality and standard of management education but if I stand as an outsider, I will still recommend that if you are looking for options in Hyderabad, you can always consider VJIM.
You may check details about the Bschool here: https://www.shiksha.com/getListingDetail/475/institute/college-Vignana-Jyothi-Institute-Of-Management-Hyderabad-India?city=702&locality=648 or go stragiht to the website: www.vjim.edu.in
Good luck and let me know if you need any further insight!
