Satheesh, I am not sure how good you are with maths and programming. If you are, then you must pick up a language whether PHP/ HTML5 (web dev), .Net (for software dev) Java/ Android (for apps) or C#/ Unity (for games). However like i mentioned, you must be good with programming to move ahead in this area since you have to compete with MCAs and BTech(CS) applicants. So choose your internship/ industrial training very carefully. Do not just go for the cheapest to save money. See the IT company's credentials on the net. for example if someone provide LIVE PROJECTS are they there near the TOP on PORTALS like JUSTDIAL? Or if the company is registered with STPI (Software Technology Parks of India) - all good IT companies are lregistered with STPI. If a company spends money to market themselves to customers, only then they are able to get LIVE PROJECTS. Also, if you are an average programmer, and if you you're better with creative work, then you can head for web design or even vfx/ animation since there is a huge requirement coming up in that domain. There is also an intermediate path in games design and development. Please check this http://bit.ly/1sf9NCX on how careers are moving. There are 100s of other careers out there waiting for you. If you work hard in a new subject you may be better placed to take up a career than passing out from just any college as today placements is a big issue with fresh engineers from average colleges. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability.

Sagar, I'd be happy to understand your current stage of progress including academics, courses, hobbies and other interests to help you understand what in you can lead to game design and also what aspect of game design can suit you better. You may also like to read this about the kind of preparation the best students put into this http://bit.ly/1ddUSi8. Also, in most cases a broader learning like a combination of graphics, multimedia, web design, vfx, 2d and 3d animation, can lead to a better preparation towards launching oneself into a gaming career. A specialization in Game Design is a useful addon afterwards. And just to state the facts, none of the famous game designers in the world today have done anything remotely linked to game design. That said, do not take it as a bar to entry, but to elucidate the fact that a broad learning is always necessary to get into a challenging career such as game design. Now let's go into the nitty gritty on Game Design. To become a Game Designer, you must get a good knowledge of 3D software as well as preproduction. Usually in Games the environment is created in 3DSMax and Character animations in Maya, Only the models are made with less polygons and more textures. So choose a program that teaches you these software. It would not matter whether the programme is called game design programme or not. Rest, to become a level designer you must have a passion for game design. Also you must have passion for playing all kinds of games including card games, dice games, sports etc. The 3rd option is Game Design (it's different from Game Designer), where you design the game itself, i.e. what happens on each level, and how things go about as well as the base story of the game. It is a stage that you reach due to your vast knowledge and passion and even exceptional technical skills cannot help you reach. This is usually the story designer. May I ask, have you ever designed a game? Finally, to do game programming you would require knowledge of programming in which usually a BCA/ MCA would help. Typically game programmers usually would be knowing C, C+, Java, Android besides at least a Game Engine. Here is a complete snapshot of Gaming Industry by me on Shiksha website https://www.shiksha.com/from-gaming-to-game-designing-article-5827-1. Arena offers a very good Course in this regard namely AAIP where you can learn enough 3D Art and Effects for Gaming. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Hi perwez67395,
Situation arises sometimes but don't be confuse. You wanted to do some technical courses, there are plenty of option for technical courses like you can go for Degree courses, Diploma courses and certificate courses.Whatever you choose totally depends upon you and your interest.
1.First ask yourself that what kind (degree,diploma, certificate) of technical course you wanted to do.
2.Which technical stream you wanted to choose.
3.How much you are aware / updated of your chosen technical stream
If you are not well aware of your technical stream then you should go for the degree programs or diploma any one you can choose, certificate programs are not for every one they are only for getting specialization in a particular domain.
Here are some suggestions for IT :1.You can go for BCA degree program, I would suggest for a regular one not distance learning.
2.You can choose GNIIT program of NIIT, it is combination of two B.Sc in IT and Specialised programming skills and give you awareness in the IT domain.
Above all, Just sit think and list about your current abilities and skills in your interested domain and your current degree i.e. BBA skills. If you are good in sales and marketing, then you choose online / offline marketing domain, it is very lucrative if done correctly. And you don't have to do any kind of degree for that just be interested and a simple 6 month certificate would be suffice to do good in this domain.
Good luck for your better future.If still you have any questions, you can ask me here.
Thanks

Haratiya Mahila Bank, the country's first all-women commercial bank, commenced its operations on Tuesday with seven branches. However, doubts remain if the bank will succeed in achieving its objective of economic empowerment of women in remote villages.
“The setting up of the Bharatiya Mahila Bank is a small step towards the economic empowerment of women. It is also a reflection of our commitment to this cause. I am sure that the bank will fulfil the objective with which it is being established, namely financial inclusion of women and providing them equal and easy access of financial services,” said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh while inaugurating the bank's first branch in Mumbai's Nariman Point.
