Fees are the first thing most people want to know and the last thing most institutes tell you clearly. You land on a page, read ten paragraphs, and still have to "fill the form to know the fee". We do it the other way round. At Digital Market Academy, the total course fee is ₹35,400, it covers everything, and you can pay it in 2 or 3 installments. That is the whole number, no hidden "registration" or "exam" charges added later. This guide breaks down exactly what that fee buys, how it compares to the value, and how to decide if it is right for you.
I am Rajesh Menon, and I have run DMA in Bangalore since 2010. I would rather you decide with the real numbers in front of you, so here they are.
TL;DR
- DMA total fee: ₹35,400 (all-inclusive), payable in 2 or 3 installments.
- Duration 3 months, classroom, batch size maximum 6 students.
- Covers the full syllabus (44 modules, 10 tracks), tools, and 100% placement assistance.
- Placement support = 2-part resume prep, mock interviews, and the DMA Student Portal app.
- Our placed students earn roughly ₹3.6 to ₹6.2 LPA, so the fee typically pays back fast.

What does the ₹35,400 fee actually cover?
The fee is all-inclusive, and I think it helps to see exactly what sits inside it rather than a vague "everything is covered". For ₹35,400 you get the full 3-month classroom programme: 44 modules across 10 tracks, taught hands-on, not read off slides. That includes SEO, Google Ads, Meta ads, social media, content, email marketing, Google Analytics 4, and design work in both Canva and Figma. It includes practice on live tools and real campaigns in our Campaign Lab, our free AI Ad Advisor and the other tools we have built, and it includes the full placement support that I will describe below. There is no separate charge for material, tools or the placement help. Ek hi number hai, that is it.
Can I pay the fee in installments?
Yes. The ₹35,400 can be paid in 2 or 3 installments, so you do not have to arrange the whole amount on day one. Plenty of our students, especially freshers and career-switchers, use this to spread the cost across the course. If you want the exact installment split and dates, the simplest thing is to call or WhatsApp us and we will walk you through it in a minute.
Is a digital marketing course worth the fee?
This is the real question, and the honest answer is: it depends entirely on the outcome, not the price. ₹35,400 is meaningful money. But our placed students typically earn between ₹3.6 and ₹6.2 LPA in their first roles, which means the fee is usually a small fraction of a single year's salary. Seen that way, the return on investment is strong, provided you actually learn the skills and put in the effort. A cheaper course that teaches only theory and leaves you unplaced is far more expensive in the end.

How our placement support actually works
Every institute writes "placement" on the banner. Here is what it concretely means at DMA, so you can judge it properly. We offer 100% placement assistance, which is genuine support to get you job-ready and in front of employers, not a magic job guarantee (be careful of anyone promising that). It has three real parts:
- Resume preparation in two versions: an "ATS-clean" resume built to pass the automated filters companies use, and a polished "professional" resume for when you hand it over in person to an HR or hiring manager.
- Mock interviews conducted at the academy, so you practise answering real questions out loud before the real thing.
- The DMA Student Portal app, with hundreds of mock interview questions and resume-prep resources you can practise on anytime.
Our students get placed across startups, MSMEs and sometimes MNCs, in the ₹3.6 to ₹6.2 LPA range mentioned above. See real journeys on our placements page.
Why a batch of maximum 6 is worth paying for
The biggest hidden factor in "fees" is how much attention you actually get. We cap every batch at 6 students. That is a deliberate choice, not a limitation. In a batch of 40, you are a face in a crowd; in a batch of 6, the trainer knows exactly where you are stuck and fixes it that day. This is why our students come out able to actually run campaigns, and it is a big part of what the fee pays for. New batches start every 15 days, so you rarely wait long to begin.
The DMA flywheel: how the fee turns into a career
We do not think of a student as a one-time enrolment. We think in a loop, because that is how a good academy actually grows.
Real students, real placements
The best proof of value is not a number I write, it is people who sat in the same classroom and got placed. A few whose full stories are on our blog:
- Vinod A, who moved from a B.Tech background into a digital marketing executive role.
- Santhoshi Rekha, who restarted her career after a break and got placed.
- Krithik Shankar, who went from an MBA into an SEO executive role.
DMA is rated around 4.9 stars by our students, and you can read more journeys on the placements page. The trainer, Rajesh Menon, has also been recognised by universities, colleges and government organisations, and DMA has delivered digital-skilling training for central government bodies including India Post.
