In this particular blog, we are going to mention the five best digital marketing courses in India that are completely online. Before proceeding, let me remind you to read the blog till the end. By the end, you will have a clear understanding of which course might be the best fit for you. Along with that, I will share a tip that can help you avail discounts.

Fifth Position: Digital Vidya

Starting with number five, in the fifth position, we have Digital Vidya. Digital Vidya is one of India’s oldest and most trusted digital marketing training institutes. Their program, Certified Digital Marketing Master Course (CDMM), offers hands-on training. This program usually lasts between four to six months, and the fee is around 65,000 INR plus GST and other charges.

Besides, if you don’t want to learn the entire digital marketing course and want to focus on a specific part, you can do that as well. they have multiple other courses too. Their flagship course is CDMM, and they also offer specialization courses like SEO and others.

If you feel that you don’t want to learn everything and just want to focus on a specific part, you can consider this. I won’t go into too much detail about the course because this isn’t a course review, but rather a ranking of the top five courses. If you want a complete review, you can check out the specific review blog on digital Vidya.

Fourth Position: Simplilearn

Moving on to the fourth position. Simplilearn also offers digital marketing courses, such as their Post Graduate Program in Digital Marketing, which is in collaboration with Purdue University. They have multiple programs, including the Digital Marketing Specialist course. Both these programs are eight months long, and they also have an SEO course. The main difference is that the Post Graduate Program is more extensive and costs around 100,000 INR, whereas the other course is around 54,000 INR.

Third Position: Skill Circle

 

In the third position, we have Skill Circle. Skill Circle offers several programs divided into four groups: Diploma, Master’s Skill Degree, and Foundation. The foundation course covers the basics and is free, while the Skill Degree focuses on mastering a specific skill like SEO over four months, with a one-month specialization training. The Master’s in Digital Marketing is also four months long, and their main program, the Diploma in Digital Marketing, lasts eight months. The fees for these programs range from 30,000 INR to 70,000-80,000 INR.

Second Position: MyCaptain and PhysicsWallah

Talking about the second-best institute for a digital marketing course, it was tough to rank, so I have placed two institutes here: MyCaptain and PhysicsWallah. Both these programs offer placement assistance, which I prioritized.

 

First, let’s talk about MyCaptain. MyCaptain’s program is 20 weeks long, and after the basic course, they offer specialized tracks like growth marketing, content marketing, performance marketing, and social media marketing. This helps in making you industry-ready with specialized skills. The fee for this course is around 70,000 INR.

PhysicsWallah

 

Next, PhysicsWallah’s Digital Marketing with AI course is the most affordable among the ones discussed so far. Initially priced at 50,000 INR, they are currently offering it at 30,000 INR, possibly due to its recent launch. This course covers everything practically in three months, making it a good option for beginners on a budget.

First Position: MICA’s Advanced Certification Course in Digital Marketing and Communication

Now, moving to the top one, the best course, and it is MICA’s Advanced Certification Course in Digital Marketing and Communication. If you don’t know about MICA, it’s considered the number one university for marketing. They offer MBA courses offline, and their program, in collaboration with UpGrad, is ranked first.

Reasons for Ranking First

The reasons are simple: the name MICA, a longer duration of seven to eight months, and in-depth practical learning. This program also offers placement assistance, resume building, mock interviews, and immersion programs with agencies like Social Panga. The fee is higher, around 160,000 INR, with additional costs for multiple specializations. But if you choose only 1 specialization it will cost you around 1,15,000 INR.
