At NIDE, we intentionally limit each batch to a maximum of 24 students to ensure a high-quality, practical-focused learning experience.

Our programs are designed with a strong emphasis on hands-on training, live practicals, and individual mentorship. A smaller batch size allows us to;

• Better one-on-one interaction with trainers
• Provide personalized attention to every student
• Ensure better interaction with trainers during sessions
• Offer real-time doubt clarification and guidance
• Conduct practical sessions smoothly without compromise
• Track each student’s progress and performance closely

Unlike overcrowded classrooms, this approach helps us maintain a premium learning environment and ensures that every student receives the support required to succeed in their career.

At NIDE, practical training is a core component of the program, designed to ensure students gain real-world, hands-on experience. The program includes structured practical sessions, applied implementation exercises, capstone projects, campaign execution exposure, workflow-based learning activities, and guided execution tasks designed to build real-world implementation confidence.

As part of this program, students will undergo 125+ practical sessions, which include General (core & applied) practicals, live campaigns execution, full-stack capstone projects, workshops and other client-based practicals.

We follow a two-level practical training approach:

1. General Practicals & Workshops (In-Class Training)

These are conducted during regular live training sessions and do not require any third-party client dependency.

• Students perform practicals using relevant tools and software
• All necessary tools required for completing these practicals will be provided by NIDE
• Sessions are conducted with step-by-step trainer guidance

Examples of General Practicals are Google Tag Manager implementation, Pixel Integrations, Conversion tracking, CRM integration, Marketing automation workflows, Competitor and market analysis, Customer pain point analysis, SEO, Content marketing..etc.

These practicals help students build a strong foundation across all key areas of digital marketing and prepare them for advanced, real-time applications.

2. Client-Based Practicals (Live Campaign Execution)

In this stage, students work on real client accounts and live campaigns, especially in ROI based campaigns.

• Students are divided into small groups (2–3 per group)
• Each group is assigned a real client project
• Campaigns are executed on platforms like Google Ads, Meta Ads, and LinkedIn Ads
• Students will create, run, optimize, A/B testing, scale-up campaigns based on defined performance goals given by the client

Key Highlights:

• Campaign access is typically provided for 30 to 45 days
• The ad budget is fully funded by the client (approx. ₹30,000 to ₹1,50,000 per month, depending on the project)
• Students work towards real performance metrics such as:
  
  • CTR (Click-Through Rate)
  • Conversion Rate
  • CPC (Cost Per Click)
  • Impression Share
  • Quality Score
  • Ad and Landing Page Relevance…etc.

To ensure quality and accountability:

• Each group is assigned a dedicated faculty mentor
• The faculty will guide, supervise, and support throughout the campaign
• Students will execute the work, while faculty ensures it aligns with client expectations

Why this practical approach matters

This structured model ensures that students:

• Gain real industry exposure while learning
• Develop confidence in handling live campaigns and budgets
• Become job-ready with hands-on experience
• Can effectively apply and recall concepts during interviews and jobs

Important Note

• All practical sessions (both general and client-based) are mandatory
• Theory sessions can be accessed via recordings if missed, but practicals must be attended and completed live

If you miss a class, there’s no need to worry — all sessions are recorded and made available to students.

Access to Recordings & Study Materials

• All class recordings will be available on your dedicated student dashboard (MoodleCloud-based platform)
• You can log in anytime and watch the missed sessions at your convenience
• The dashboard also includes:
  
  • Study materials (PDFs, notes)
  • Case studies and use cases
  • Class schedules and calendar

The platform is accessible via both;

• Web application (desktop/laptop)
• Mobile application (on-the-go learning)

Important Note

• Class recordings are available for a limited period of 60 days
• After 60 days, recordings will be automatically removed from the platform (Zoom or Zoho)
• Students are advised to download and save important recordings for future reference

The total duration of the program is typically around 8 months, including all theory sessions, practicals, workshops, assignments, and internship.

Can the duration be extended?

Under normal circumstances, we ensure that the program is completed within the planned timeline. However, in certain situations, the duration may be extended to maintain the quality and completeness of the program.

This may happen due to unforeseen circumstances, such as:

• Public holidays or government-declared interruptions (e.g., pandemic), or/and any Medical emergencies…etc.
• Operational delays such as additional sessions, workshops, or support classes, Client-based practical/project dependencies
• Curriculum updates or enhancements

In such cases, the schedule may be adjusted and the overall duration of the program may be extended accordingly.

Important Note

• Students are expected to cooperate with the revised schedule
• Such extensions are made to ensure complete learning and proper practical exposure
• Refunds, fee adjustments, or compensations will not be applicable in these scenarios

The program is designed to be structured yet flexible, suitable for both students and working professionals.

1. Regular Classes (Theory + General Practicals & Workshops)

• Classes are conducted from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM (Evening)
• Schedule: Monday to Friday
• Students can expect 3 to 5 sessions per week, depending on the module

These sessions include:

• Theory classes
• General practicals
• Workshops

All these will be conducted together for the entire batch during regular class timings.

2. Client-Based Practicals (Live Campaign Execution)

Client-based practicals are conducted separately from regular class sessions, as these practicals are focused on achieving real client-defined performance goals, which typically require 30 to 45 days of continuous execution. To ensure that this process does not disrupt regular learning, these practicals are handled in a micro-group format.

Students are divided into small groups (2–3 per group), and each group is assigned a different client account in most cases, depending on project availability.

Key Points:

• General instructions, strategy, and fundamentals will be covered during regular class sessions
• Execution, optimization, scaling, and performance tracking will be handled separately in group-wise sessions
• Each group works on its own client account with specific performance objectives

To ensure successful outcomes:

• Each group is assigned a dedicated faculty mentor
• The mentor will guide and support in;
  
  1. Campaign setup and execution
  2. Optimization and scaling strategies
  3. A/B testing and experimentation
  4. Achieving client-defined performance goals…etc.

Since these are live campaigns with real budgets and expectations, students may need to:

• Allocate additional time beyond regular class hours
• Be flexible based on campaign requirements and deadlines

Participation in client-based practicals is mandatory, as it plays a critical role in building real-world skills and ensuring placement readiness.

At NIDE, the evaluation process is designed to ensure that students consistently build strong knowledge and practical skills throughout the program.
