Need help getting into the Game Industry

[zwarrior2703]

Hi! I am from India, an undergraduate and currently doing Chartered Accountancy (though reluctantly), what I am really passionate about is Games and i really want to get into the Gaming Industry but I dont know how or where to start. Also I have no Degree/ Diploma/ Certificate or any Education in any field related to Games, so I have a few questions that I am requesting you guys to answer:

1. I am 26 years old now and taking into account the time further taken by any gaming related course I take up now, will my age become a barrier for me to get a good job in a big name gaming company?

2. Please suggest some good colleges/ institutes in India which offer good courses in gaming which cover up all or most aspects needed for a well rounded gaming course.

3. Considering i have no education in any aspect of Game making, which would be the best course for me to take up?

Waiting for the feedback, Thank you.
