Is pursuing a Master's Degree in Design in IIT worth it?

Hello everyone. I have recently completed my Bachelors in Design in Animation from MIT Pune, and am looking to possibly continuing higher education. I am however, not "sold" on the idea of pursuing the same and only wish to do so from institutes where I can further expand on my skillset. Up until recently, I was eyeing NID and IIT Bombay as the only 2 options I was willing to apply, primarily because these institutes have excellent connections between faculties, students and the animation industry. However, I recently found out that the 2 year M.Des program in NID is kind of the same like how it was in my previous college, i.e., a crash course of what I learnt in 4 years of Bachelor's, just condensed into 2 years. Therefore, now I am kind of second guessing NID as an option.

I wanted to know if the Animation Program for Master's is the same in IITs as well or if it is differently structured? If it is the same structure, I would then rather spend time polishing my portfolio for higher studies abroad (or the industry if it doesn't work out). I don't want to spend another 2 years relearning the same things I did in my bachelor's just with the brand of being an IIT or NID student. Any and all advice would be extremely helpful!

I've seen a lot of concept art pieces that have this blockish texture and I've been wondering if this is a specific brush that gives it this sort of multicolored effect or if it uses blending modes (the video from which I screenshot this had the person stamp these over and over again). I'm working on building my Visual Development portfolio and I want to spice my pieces up with this effect.

Additionally, what are some common brushes/brush packs you could recommend for the same?
