Hi Akshita, Design is a vast subject, but primarily if you master the following software, then you have a robust foundation;
For visual design:
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, For Animation and Edit (Video and Audio):
Adobe After Effects, Adobe Audition, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro (FCP)
Thanks.

Yes, there is lots of scope in pursuing a degree in digital marketing it will provide you lots of opportunities in the field of marketing.
Good luck.

NID is the best college to pursue Designing course for Products, Transports etc. NIFT is the best institute for designing Textiles etc. FDDI is good for the footwears. NID condcuts its own exam for admission. NIFT I believe gives admission on the basis of result in UCEED. It is a long process. You will need to make sure what specifically you want to pursue.
