What will students build?

Students complete four real group projects in competing student agencies. They share responsibilities, review work and present their decisions. Module practice includes website and SEO audits, paid-campaign planning and analysis, social content, landing pages and agentic marketing workflows.

The published agentic AI curriculum includes a landing page with a connected lead form, a WordPress publishing agent, a bulk ad-creative workflow using Google Sheets and Drive, and a LinkedIn publishing workflow. Human review, permissions and monitoring are part of the workflow. These module exercises are not a claim that each is a separate client project.

A useful portfolio identifies the business brief, your role, what you produced, the evidence available and what you learned. Group work should clearly distinguish your individual contribution. Explore the AI workflow examples.

  2. Social Media
  3. SEO
  4. Meta Ads
  5. Google Ads
  6. Digital Marketing and AI Course Completion Certificate

These certificates are issued by Digital Scholar and included in the ₹69,999 fee, with no separate certificate payment.

  • Maintain at least 75% attendance.
  • Complete the mandatory assignments, module examinations and all four group projects.
  • Achieve a minimum 60% passing score in the module-specific examinations.

Attendance alone is insufficient. Certification preparation materials remain accessible for one year. Digital Scholar also prepares students for separate external examinations; Google, Meta and other organisations issue their own credentials under their own requirements. Agency partnerships do not make this course Google- or Meta-accredited.

Placement eligibility is different. The placement team requires at least 80% coursework completion and passing four of five papers. Full-time placement opportunities also require an undergraduate degree; internship degree requirements vary by employer. See the placement assistance policy.
