Game Design and Development

If you are totally interested in game design, you have gaming colleges in Bangalore and Hyderabad. If not animation doesn't cope with games , animation is totally different compare with game design.

There are a few colleges in Hyderabad, they offer Game development and animation courses. If you are keen into gaming I suggest "Backstagepass institute of gaming and technology", else if you are more into animation VFX and movie graphics "Pixeloid" is the best.

There is a college named Backstagepass institute of gaming and technology, they offer Game Art and Design & Game Development, Course of 4 years each. And the fee structure is INR 1.4 lakhs per year in both of the courses. If you want a future in gaming, this is the best one as far as I came across.
