Careers360 Quick Guide to Animation

Hello,
With a projected CAT percentile of 87% but not clearing sectional cutoffs, your chances at top IIMs are limited because they require both overall percentile and sectional minimums. However, you still have a good shot at other reputed management institutes and non-IIM B-schools. Consider colleges like NMIMS, SPJIMR, IMT, TAPMI, Great Lakes, and other well-ranked private or state-level B-schools that accept CAT scores and weigh your profile holistically. Your academic record, BSc in Animation with 80%, and 5 years of work experience at Ubisoft India are strong points and may help in institutes that value work experience in their selection process. Also, explore institutes that accept XAT, MAT, or CMAT, where your profile can be competitive.
Hope this helps you.

If she is thirteen and wants to get into animation and drawing, the best way to start is by building up her basic art skills. Let her dive into sketching, character design, some basic anatomy, perspective, shading, and color theory - these are the core things everyone in animation needs. She should try both traditional drawing with pencil and paper and mess around with digital drawing on easy-to-use apps or software. This way, she will get comfortable with both styles.

Small projects help a lot, too. She can make a flipbook, try a short animation, or put together a simple storyboard. That’s how she will pick up on movement and how to tell a story with pictures. Signing up for art workshops, checking out online tutorials, or joining short classes for her age group will keep her motivated and give her some direction. Plus, it makes the whole thing more fun. The earlier she starts practicing, the more confident and creative she will get and she will  have a solid base if she wants to take animation or art more seriously later on.
