Abhi, there are 2 paths in VFX, one of them is not much known to most experts in India hence you'll get a no as an answer.
VFX Programmer is a typical python programmer who can handle complex rigs and particle calculations and understands the 3d systems well. Unfortunately Indian Engineering Degrees lack in imparting knowledge in spatial domains hence it would be difficult for you without deep self study.
Well, VFX Art is a field of applying your design knowledge to create pleasing effects to highlight and progress the story. So typically a VFX person either comes from animation or film making. The lower end staff comes from graphics. Now, ideally a Course in either Animation or Film Making would qualify you to then take VFX as a specialization and also ensure that you stand on firm ground. Do not focus on what the certification is called, but search more on the learnings from the course. Something like VFX Pro at Arena or similar specialized course from elsewhere can be good. Only check if the faculty is of that level. Placement in VFX is better in South India because of Multiple regional film industries. Technical Director is the best post for a VFX Artist. And low end are Rotoscoping and Wireframe removal artists. Alternatively, you may like to pick up superior skills to enter the industry. I would suggest VFX Pro (with Nuke and Houdini). Unfortunately there are very few Houdini trainers in India. and that is also an opportunity for you since when you become one of the first few people trained in Houdini you can break the industry. And finding a job is easy since at least a huge number of houdini trainers are required and you can also become a trainer before moving into the industry - that is how most of the first movers gain a foothold. So if you can move to chandigarh to learn, you can make use of this wonderful opportunity. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.
