Mayank, if you have the funds you can look at the option of studying abroad at schools like VFS, Vanarts, or go for a degree course. studying abroad in Animation and VFX is great but you would need to understand their structure and how it works. If you want advice on that I can guide you and put you across to the best schools.You can call me and discuss if you like. However, these schools look for a good portfolio in drawing the most, and some areas can make do with a digital portfolio if good. You would need someone to take you through this since if the portfolio is rejected you would spend another year remaking it. It takes around a year to get a good portfolio in place unless you are very talented. 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

Animator's average salary is better than the average salary of vfx artist. The main reason is that the preparation to become an animator is long and tough, so only few people are able to become really good. Even average animator is better paid than an average vfx artist. Opportunities lie in animation design, game design, graphics, storyboarding, 3d modelling, texturing and lighting, Dynamics and VFX and of course animation (2D and 3D). 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). 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.
