You asked what should I do after. Plenty of people shared their opinions.
You asked what should I go for programming/designing etc. I told you it depends on you try everything.
You asked what University should I look for even tho it was answered by Solid Link. Rebellion again replied FAST/NUST.

What more questions are there in this thread that are unanswered?

Go for Bachelors in Computer Science aka BSCS from a good University AFTER your 2nd year. The list of those universities are already in Sold Link's answer.

lemme requote him.

FAST - Karachi
DHA Suffa - Karachi
UBIT - Karachi
IBA - Karachi
NUST - Isb
COMSATS - Isb
LUMS - Lahore
For now you can start learning basic programming or if you want to practice PS/Illustrator do that. Lemme requote myself again.

As to what you should start, ask this yourself. First of all start by googling all these terms, 3D modeling, animation and get a feel as to how these are done. You'll get a pretty good introduction from wikipedia pages.

Are you interested in using softwares like Photoshop Illustrator? If so start practicing by creating character designs in them. There are a shitload of youtube tutorials for that. This is for 2D games.
Are you interested in how characters and other models like furniture,trees etc get created in 3D games. Start by learning 3DS Max/Maya. Again plenty of tutorials available.
Are you interested in how animation is done, for 3D again 3DS Max and Maya are the softwares you should look at. For 2D there can be photoshop or more sophisticated like Dragonbones.

If you have decided to pursue BSCS and wanna try a hand at programming. Try the link puppet gave you. Other than that there is a book named "C Sharp Yellow Book by Rob Miles" which is pretty good for new comers. I started programming with this book as well and it does a good job to give an overview.
Don't know what can't you understand in these answers.

Yeah, the fee structures of the universities mentioned above..
Dude.... Rule number ONE of being good any anything. PUT IN THE EFFORT.

People told you the names of the universities. You can't be spoon fed all your life. MOVE your ass and search the university websites for the fee structures. LEARN to FIND things.
