Start with the free courses from the platforms you will actually spend money on. Google's Skillshop teaches Google Ads and Analytics and ends in a Google Ads certification, Meta Blueprint has free courses and webinars on Facebook and Instagram ads, and HubSpot Academy's digital marketing course is free, 3 hr 24 min across 10 lessons, with a certificate. If you want one structured programme, Google's Digital Marketing & E-commerce Professional Certificate on Coursera takes about 6 months at 10 hours a week, and the page offers a year of Coursera Plus at ₹7,499. Classroom institutes such as IIDE add live projects, mentoring and placement help, at far higher cost (its online course shows EMIs from ₹15,575 a month). Online, all of these are the same from any city. The rule: free platform courses first, a paid certificate if you want a marketing job, an institute only for its placements, and a small campaign of your own while you learn.
