Hello Seeta,
Your question is exactly on career and job segment. According to my experience, there's lot of career scope in animation and VFX field. Animation and VFX is the biggest part of Media and entertainment industry.
According to FICCI report, Media and Entertainment Industry is highly a growing field right now. The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) is an association of business organisations in India. The media and entertainment industry in India consists of many different segments under its folds such as television, print, and films, radio, music, OOH, animation, gaming and visual effects (VFX) and internet advertising. You can work all these segments. In these segments, you need just understanding of software skill, tools of the industry no further required.
As per the combined survey report by KMPG and FICCI, the entertainment industry in India is expected to expand by 12.5% every year and is likely to reach US$20.09 billion by the year 2013. The industry is estimated to achieve growth of 13 percent in 2011 to touch US$16.2 billion. As the industry braces for exciting times ahead, the sector is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19 percent by 2020 which is the highest growth as compared to other fields, which means more income and jobs. In MNCs like Pixar, Technicolor (Bangalore), Rhythm and Hues (Hyderabad), Red Chilies, Prime Focus, DQ entertainment, etc. salaries are more than software engineers. If you are interested in this field, you can just join a professional career based course in the best institute. No degree is required in this field because I have already mentioned that Animation and VFX depends on creativity and software skills.
There are many colleges and institutions for Animation in India. If you wanna really choose right place for this filed focus on just few things. These things are Mentors (Faculty), course content, career opportunities (Placement), Environment and Equipments (Labs).
