Dear Dipanshi,

Thank you for sharing your query with us I would like to help you out with providing complete details about this.

I'm assuming that you have specific interests in drawing and are on the creative side, that way amination is one of the best way to boost your creativity. You can go for many courses in animation field from professional to multimedia animation, and can choose according to your preference.

Let me start by giving you some idea about animation, it is a system of bringing characters to life by using several techniques. Static pictures are changed in ways that make them appear to be moving.

You will learn the specifications of these by enrolling into your desired course. But first there are some essential qualities that you need to posess.

These include:

• Drawing or sketching skills
• Creativity
• Passion and determination to succeed.
• Patience till the completion of any task
• Careful detailing
• Ability to use computer and software functions.

The Animation courses in India are of several types here is the divison:

• Bachelor's Degree course
• Diploma course
• Certificate course

Now each of these are different from one another and have various sub-categories under it.

1. Bachelor's Degree Courses:

• B.A in Animation and Multimedia
• B.A in Animation and CG Arts
• B.A in Animation and Graphic Design
• B.A in Digital Filmmaking and Animation
• Bachelor of Visual Arts
• B.sc. in Animation and Multimedia
• B.sc in Animation and VFX
• B.sc. in Animation and Gaming

Since you asked for the steps after class 12th I would advise you to opt for any of the above mentioned courses.

The duration of the courses is of 3 years and you will get an bachelors degree.

The eligibility for it is generally the candidates who have passed 12th. There can be a minimum marks alloted which is generally around 50%

There are other diploma and certificate Courses of less duration, but a Bachelor's Degree will be the most suitable for you.

There are also ample career opportunities that you can find in this field. Make sure you start looking at colleges and giving entrances. For more queries you can always ask us.

Best of luck.

Cheers,

Arpita Goon.
