Surely Kriti, if we go by background, no one in India would be eligible :-)
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).

Kirti, I'd be happy to understand your current stage of progress including academics, courses, hobbies & other interests to help you understand what in you can lead to game design & 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. In most cases a broader learning like a combination of graphics, multimedia, web design, vfx, 2d & 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. 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. Games environment is created in 3DSMax & Character animations in Maya, Only the models are made with less polygons & more textures. So take a program that teaches you these. It wont matter whether the program is called game design program 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 Art (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 & 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 BTech/MCA would help. Typically game programmers usually would be knowing C#, Java, 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. Wish you the best for your career.

Hi Kirti,
Your question is not very specific,however assuming that you wish to know whether Web design & web development are the same, the details are mentioned below:
Web design is the creation of Web pages and sites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other Web languages. Web design is just like design in general. It is the combination of lines, shapes, texture, and color to create an aesthetically pleasing or striking look. To be a good designer you need to have creative abilities and good aesthetic sense. More concentration is on graphics, images, audio and video for presentation of information.
Web Development involves both web design aspects as well as programming part of website, its communication with the backend database, security, data encryption and communication with other applications. To be into web development, you need to have good expertise in programming languages like XML, Java, advanced Java, JavaScript, Asp.Net etc. alongwith tools like Flash, Adobe etc.

Hi Yash,
An interior designer can take an absolutely hopeless place and turn it into something charming and comfortable.
