in canada u can join Vancuvar film institute, one of the top animation & compositing institutes in the world

however, i would say u first find out what your interest is in, compositin, animation, or modeling, then find an institute acording to that, it's not like india doesn't have great institutes

Well thanks saurav n rahul for ur replies....i'll check out the sites of the respective colleges u specified.
Well saurav,i've already decided it's like animation or special FX,am bent on the creative side but at the same time am also an engineer so it's like creating a bridge between art and tech.
Special FX in films will be more enticing ...i suppose!!!
Pour in the replies ....
