Hi Naqvi,
GRE is one of the standardized test required for admissions into US universities for MS courses. Thousands of applicants from all over the world apply to universities in US for pursuing their masters. Such exams are necessary to shortlist the best applicants amongst so many.
You must give the GRE firstly because it is mandatory. A good GRE score will help you secure admissions in a good university. You will have a chance to be considered for scholarship. Majority of the students are granted scholarships on the basis of their academic grades and GRE scores alone. Also, a good GRE score helps in getting a visa later.
Hope this helps.

Hi Laxmi,
Yes, IIT, IDC at Mumbai and Guwahati offers B.Des and M.Des programs. One of the specialization in M.Des is Animation Film design. Even NID offers the same. Admissions to both the institutions are via entrance exams. Even lot of private and deemed universities offer Bachelor/Master's program in the sector.
However, more than education, skill based segments like animation demands training by Industry Experts and exposure to live projects.
Lot of universities have started B.Voc course in the field and NSDC offers national qualification framework as a benchmark in the sector.
Ensure that you possess self-passion to pursue a fulfilling career in the field.
Best wishes!
