Prince, do not get led by these names, there are also BFA (Anim), B Voc (Anim), BTech (Anim) to further confuse you. all this is rubbish. Do check out the portfolio of students, and go for a place which gets the best portfolios done and who get the students placed. And most of these places you'll find offer only diplomas. Degrees do not get you placed, since they are governed under rules (UGC) which do not allow the recruitment of good talented people. Animation is an art form and a very demanding career.

Prince, do not get led by these names, there are also BFA (Anim), B Voc (Anim), BTech (Anim) to further confuse you. all this is rubbish. Do check out the portfolio of students, and go for a place which gets the best portfolios done and who get the students placed. And most of these places you'll find offer only diplomas. Degrees do not get you placed, since they are governed under rules (UGC) which do not allow the recruitment of good talented people. 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). You may also like to read this about the kind of preparation the best students put into design http://bit.ly/1ddUSi8. Nothing but your innermost talent and passion should lead you to the course and the institute you choose. Go speak to people over there and see if you like their philosophy and they change your perspective.Try their website for more details. Also remember that Animation requires good mentoring. Typically go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website. Here is an article by Arena Chandigarh Centre Head on Shiksha website about how to select the right college https://www.shiksha.com/questions-to-ask-before-you-pick-an-animation-college-article-4699-1. And 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. 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

Hello Prince,
BSc is bachelors degree in Science and BA is bachelor degree in Arts. Nomeneclature hardly matters in Animation and VFx. Some offer B.Des, while others even offer B.Tech or B.F.A.UGC has started B.Voc also in the field through various universities.
Animation/VFx are multidisciplinary sector. It is Science as well as Arts. Skill matters then qualification.
Appraise by liking it or marking as best answer
Best wishes!

Prince, There are 2 kinds of careers - based on understanding of theory or based on practice of theory. All right brained activities including sports a& creative career lie in the latter domain. For careers that are based on practice of your skills, degrees become irrelevant and in fact come in your way of acquiring knowledge. All govts across the world have designed structures on how degrees can be provided. These structures for e.g. UGC in India accredit the colleges for following the rules. and these rules stipulate a minimum qualification for the teachers. It is here where the fault line lies.

Prince, There are 2 kinds of careers - based on understanding of theory or based on practice of theory. All right brained activities including sports a& creative career lie in the latter domain. For careers that are based on practice of your skills, degrees become irrelevant and in fact come in your way of acquiring knowledge. All govts across the world have designed structures on how degrees can be provided. These structures for e.g. UGC in India accredit the colleges for following the rules. and these rules stipulate a minimum qualification for the teachers. It is here where the fault line lies. All masters of their arts whether sportsmen, musicians or directors, spend all their time honing their passions in their own ways & learn from other masters in their art. And the people who do not do well in their art end up doing the higher degrees & become teachers in the colleges. Now this means that the best people are left out of the education system. Hence there is a need for studenrs of art to enter mentoring programs to hone their skills. Alternatively they can learn in diplomas which allow for anyone to teach as long as they are good in their art. Now this freedom does make the learner's task difficult as ungoverned academies have to be judged directly by the students. So be careful while choosing a mentor or an institute. You could do well to create a list of places you may want to learn at, whether they are in your city or not. Then go to their websites and research about them, & even call them and talk to them. Try their website for more details. Typically go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website. Now shortlist some you want to visit. Do not hesitate to travel - this is about your life and career. After visiting those take a decision for yourself. Even if you have to travel to timbuctoo or chandigarh for that matter, it is important for your life, so do it.
