Updated September 2026.
"Mentorship" is a word a lot of institutes use loosely, so let me be clear about what it should actually mean. I am Rajesh Menon, and I have run Digital Market Academy since 2010. Real mentorship is not a bigger brochure, it is a trainer who knows exactly where you are stuck and guides you personally. Here is what genuine mentoring looks like, and why a small batch is what makes it possible in the first place.
TL;DR
- Real mentorship means personal guidance, not a lecture to a crowd.
- It is only possible in a small batch. DMA caps every batch at 6, so mentoring is built in.
- A mentor reviews your work, guides your portfolio and career direction, and clears doubts fast.
- You are mentored by Rajesh Menon, 15+ years in the field, still practising.
- Fee is ₹35,400 all-inclusive, in 2 to 3 installments; new batches every 15 days.
- You get 100% placement assistance; students typically start at ₹3.6 to 6.2 LPA.
What real mentorship actually means
Mentorship is not a fancier word for a course. It is the difference between being taught at and being guided. A mentor knows your name, your background, where you keep getting stuck, and what career you are aiming for, and shapes their guidance around that. When you show them a campaign you built, they tell you specifically what to fix. That kind of personal attention is what turns a student into a professional, and it is exactly what a crowded classroom cannot give.
Why mentorship needs a small batch
Here is the honest bit most institutes skip: you cannot mentor 40 people. Real mentoring is only possible when the group is small enough for the trainer to know each person. That is the whole reason we cap every batch at a maximum of 6. It is not a marketing number, it is what makes personal guidance physically possible. New batches start every 15 days.
What your mentor does for you
At DMA, mentoring runs through the whole course, not as a bolt-on.
Who mentors you
You learn what your mentor knows, so this matters. At DMA you are mentored by me, Rajesh Menon, with 15+ years in SEO, Google Ads, Meta and digital strategy, and the academy has been recognised by universities, colleges and government organisations, including digital-skilling work for bodies like India Post. A mentor who still works in the field guides you with what actually gets results today, not what worked five years ago.
Placement support and outcomes
Mentoring flows straight into placement: 100% placement assistance, a resume in two versions (an ATS-clean one and a polished professional one), mock interviews, and practice in the DMA Student Portal app, all guided by your mentor. DMA students typically get placed in the ₹3.6 to 6.2 LPA range across startups, MSMEs and sometimes MNCs, and we are rated around 4.9. A few real journeys:
- Vinod A, B.Tech to digital marketing executive.
- Santhoshi Rekha, career break to placed.
- Krithik Shankar, MBA to SEO executive.
Fees and how they are paid
No surprises: the fee is ₹35,400 total, all-inclusive, payable in 2 or 3 installments, with no hidden charges, and the mentoring is built into the small-batch course, not a paid add-on. See the full fee breakdown and the course ROI.
Why our students keep referring us: the flywheel
The reason mentoring works so well for us is a simple loop: we guide small batches personally, students get placed, they succeed and refer friends and leave reviews, and that fills the next batch. Real outcomes, not ads, keep it turning.
