Hi Ravi,
Animation is a visual technique that provides the illusion of motion by displaying a collection of images in rapid sequence.
Game design on the other hand is a subset of the Game development which involves designing at multiple phases like environment, game play, storyline, rules, effects etc.

Hi lalit,
Visual effects (commonly shortened to Visual F/X or VFX) involve the integration of live-action footage and generated imagery to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly, or simply impossible to capture on film.
For instance, a movie that shows the hero jumping off the ground and flying into the air, is created using VFX. Almost every single movie these days uses VFX. Similarly in game design, there are certain set of backgrounds, or stunts performed by the character that maybe beyond reality, hence the use of VFX.

Hello Abhijith,
Yes you could do it for sure. Industrial Design Centre at IIT, Powai offers PG in creative segment of Animation & Design. Even NID offers the same. Admission to both programs are through entrance. If you are creative, do consider the option.
Gaming is a highly exciting, youthful career. It needs lot of passion, patience and Creativity to become Game Designer. Ensure that you possess it.
Also note that Gaming is still in its nascent stage in India. Till date there are very few appropriate programs available for Game Art Design. You could also prefer to pursue a Animation and Digital Media program which covers all the aspects desired to become an avid designer for game contents. Such course not only prepares you for Gaming but also for Animation Studios, Production Houses, Web, Ad agencies, Home entertainment through TV, e-learning etc.
You may check desired profile on top few Game Co's like Sony, Microsoft, Disney Indiagames, Zynga, Veda Games, Gameloft, Kreeda etc. Digital Media and Animation related programs are offered by lot of Government Colleges and Autonomous Institutes & Universities.
While choosing any institute ensure that you are taught by Experienced & proficient Mentors. Also ensure adequate infrastructure, industry interface & validate placement track record of alumni's. Learning Software alone won't help you. First acquire artistic skills on paper, then learn application software's for expressing skills in the Digital Medium.
