Hi Manasi
Its good to hear that you want to pursue a PG in instructional designing(ID). Well my advice to you would be to research before yoy take the plunge. I say this because I was in the same quandry a few months back. If you really want to be a full time ID the course will be helpfull. A good place to start your research would be a series of blog post by Christy Tucker. She has been an ID for long.

Another good read about whether you need a degree for an ID job is this one by Cammy Bean
Learning Visions: Instructional Designers: Do You Have a Degree in ID?
I have been in the field for 9 years and all the people I have worked with acquired their skills on Job.
Well here i stop my rant. Hopefully this helps you make your decision.
And ohh I decided not to do the PG but to do a self study. And been quite succefull at learning the theory.The practical I know from my job and doing it for 9 years.
Also if you really want to attend a course I suggest short term course from a selected Institutes. There are only a handfull in india.

Dear Prabha,
An excellent posting giving proper references to the sites. Many on this forum do not do that. EvenI have missed out saying who had posted the links I have given.
Best wishes
