The COVID-19 pandemic has almost brought a halt to every kind of business around the world. While the business, customers and market went down for every product and service, the virtual world literally is enjoying the higher digital consumption during the pandemic.


In the Indian Diaspora also, online gaming saw a huge surge in consumption during the lockdown. The pandemic is causing people to stay more at home and also creating boredom among them. The exciting games on the virtual platform are literally becoming their prime source of entertainment.

As per FICCI, “India can become the global AR and VR game development factory of the world if talent and infrastructure are nurtured”.

The increase in the use of smartphones in India has contributed to the online gaming sector. With more than 530 million smartphone handsets around the country, the online gaming industry has boomed with it as a parallel sector. And now India has become one of the world’s fastest-growing markets for mobile applications.

In a recent interview, industrialist Mukesh Ambani also said, – “Gaming will be bigger than music, movies and television shows put together”.

So now the question is, if you aspire to get into the gaming industry, how would you do that?

The first thing you need to do is enroll in one of the best game design courses in India. Without the degree, it will be difficult to acquire the specific skills required for the industry. And currently, the industry is in the dearth of skilled professionals.

As it’s a relatively new industry, there’s a severe scarcity of professionals and hence, students passing out with a degree in a game designing course will be positively absorbed by the industry.

Game design courses in India are generally divided into Game Programming, Game Art, Game Development, Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality.

The course also includes computer architecture, knowledge-based AI, robotics and perception, computer vision and pattern recognition and much more.

A B.Sc in Gaming course is designed in a way that will give you a 360-degree perspective and will enable you to think innovatively and dynamically and create exciting games, exhilarating challenges, stunning visuals and graphics on the screen.

Hence if you want to build your career in the gaming industry, the scopes are many and it will also help you to reach the peak of your career.

Here is a list of job profiles that you may get into after the completion of the course – 

Game Designer 
App Developer
Software Developer
3D Effects Artist
Network Programmer
Audio/Sound Engineers

Assurance Tester
