IIDE PG in Digital Marketing: Benefits, ROI, Career & Aid

Understanding ROI (Return on Investment) in Education

ROI in education plays a very important role in helping understand the value a student gains when investing in their education plans. 

Here the concept of return on investment goes way beyond any financial gains and focuses more on the intangible gains that you will extract post education.

While recovering the cost of the course is a part of the investment, here the education aspect focuses more on your overall development concerning the development of the latest digital marketing skills, networking, increased employability and beyond.

If you want to derive ROI in education and want to commence your career that pulls in an MBA level salary in India at an executive level position, you must enrol for our PG in Digital Marketing.

A Postgraduate Program in Digital Marketing is an 11-month program focused on teaching the advanced aspects of digital marketing along with a focus on leadership, communication, team building & executive skills.

Why should you pursue IIDE’s PG Program? 

IIDE offers an 11-month PG in Digital Marketing, a leadership & strategy-driven program that helps fresh graduates get an edge over their peers.

Here’s why I think this program is perfect for digital marketing aspirants like you who want to kick-start their career in digital marketing in this rapidly growing & ever-changing industry:

1. 100% Career Support:

It is very natural for you to expect a placement when you reach the end of an 11-month program. IIDE has successfully placed students in 500+ leading brands and agencies across India such as FCB Kinnect, Schbang, Media.net, Purple.com, Nykaa, Zomato, etc.

2. 25+ AI & Digital Marketing Tools:

Many think that AI will replace us but the truth is that those who master AI & know how to bring more results to the table with it will surely replace them. IIDE’s PG Program will equip you with the latest digital marketing tools such as Google Ads, ChatGPT, Copy.ai, WordPress, WebEngage, etc so that you can become an AI-powered digital marketer.

3. Practical Exposure:

To ensure that our graduates get the exposure that they are looking for in a course we conduct a Super Session with the Marketing Heads of global companies such as Deepa Krishnan (CMO of Starbucks India). Our students visit various agencies such as FCB Kinnet & White Rivers Media to understand the functioning of a company. Such activities help them to understand the goings on in the marketing industry.

4. Specialisations:

Under IIDE’s PG Program, students get to specialize in both performance marketing and creative strategy – 2 very unique, MBA-level specializations. Our major and minor model ensures that you can learn them both but major in the one that aligns with your interests just like in an MBA. 

5. Culture:

Our PG students are not just bombarded with projects and assignments. We have a special team that looks after our students’ vibe. They organize various activities such as movie nights, treks, dance parties, treasure hunts, etc., and also celebrate festivals together so that they can learn to maintain a work-life balance.

This is just a glimpse of our PG in Digital Marketing program, if you want to learn more about the offerings of the course, then I recommend you read our blog on “Top 9 Reasons Why IIDE’s PG in Digital Marketing Program is Worth It”.

On Recovering the Program Fee/Investment – Breakeven Calculator

One of the major reasons why graduates don’t opt for postgraduate studies is because they think how expensive it is for them. But here’s something that you should consider.

Everyone pursues graduation because it is the bare minimum to get a job. You know your returns well in advance so the cost of a college never feels burdening.

Apply the same thought when it comes to a PG program. Think of it as an investment in practical learning, a step up from the bachelor’s degree. And also think of what returns you can gain on this investment.

Have you given a thought of how your new skills will help you recover your investment?

Calculate your break-even point with the help of our ROI calculator – find out the number of years you will take to recover your program fee.

What is the average ROI of IIDE’s PG Program?

The fee for IIDE’s PG Program is INR 6,45,000. If you are eligible for a scholarship of up to INR 1,00,000, this comes down to INR 5,45,000.

The average package offered to our PG students is INR 5 LPA. 

According to these numbers, with a scholarship, you should recover your program fee/investment in 0.9 years which is 11 months and 26 days. This suggests that, under favourable circumstances, you might earn back your investment before completing your first year of work.

Without a scholarship, you can recover your program fee/investment in around 1 year and 2 months.

Please note: The projected earnings and ROI are based on averages from previous batches and are not guaranteed. Actual outcomes may vary significantly depending on a range of individual factors like prior work experience, proficiency in digital marketing skills, the effectiveness of interview preparation, personal abilities, academic performance, the ability to network, current job, market trends, geographic location, the size and sector of the employing company, and individual negotiation skills. Success in achieving these figures is largely dependent on meeting these requirements.

After completing graduation from ITM Group of Institutions and working for five years at Naukri.com, I felt the need to keep up with the most demanding skill in the industry, i.e., digital marketing.

3. Arvindh S:

IIDE has been a turning point in my digital marketing journey.

4. Amisha Baranwal:

After completing my graduation in Hotel Management from IIHM and working for two years in the finance sector, I realized my true calling was in the creative marketing field. I joined IIDE’s 11-month PG Program in Digital Marketing to pursue my passion and gain industry-relevant skills. The program provided me with hands-on learning and exposure to real-world marketing scenarios. With the knowledge and experience I gained, I secured a position as a Social Media Executive at ARM Worldwide with a salary package of 5 LPA. Joining IIDE was a transformative decision that helped me align my career with my passion.

Our placement team makes immense efforts by equipping our students with skills such as resume building, soft skills, and interview preparation that help them crack their interview and get an average package of 5 LPA. However, it solely depends on the ability of a student to crack a package as high as this in their very first job.

I am interested in this course but how can I arrange for such a big amount? This question might be bothering you. The next section will help you understand how you can fund our course.
