Review from a current Student
-
If you have attended the demo class where Kunal Chowdhary so called founder of the institute brags about his earnings and how he has changed the digital marketing in India, you are going to fall for it, like many of us did:) because Kunal only shows up in demos(after all he is self proclaimed brand ambassador of DSIM).
I'm going to bifurcate the learning experience into few sections and then provide an overall rating. However DSIM tries hard to suppress these "Genuine but Negative" feedback provided by people like me.
Trainers & Training:
They have some good trainers who usually don't know which batch/class these trainers will be aligned to at the weekend class. Most of the times those trainers find them self lost after reaching the class about the topic they have to discuss. Very Poor management from PR/Support team. Still few trainers are experienced and know their subject. But again DSIM doesn't adhere to the course agenda and they keep on shuffling the sequence of modules, in fact this happens very often that a trainer started one topic and in the next class you see another trainer covering the topic(the moment you get used to teaching methods of a trainer DSIM just switches the trainer).
Training material is usually not shared some basic notes, you can find way better material online.
Classroom Ambience & Locality:
Most of the classes are in basements of some residential(non commercial) place wherein neighbours always have issues with the students. Don't park vehicles here, don't just stand in street, many a times people will stare at you.
Talking about facilities inside class room Projector light over laps with White Board, width of classroom is not good enough for a row of 5 chairs but that is how you adjust. Feels like those chickens being transported into cages loaded tightly.
Local mineral water some "Kavery" brand served on on water coolers, don't dare to take the bottle cover off:) Talking about amenities and rest rooms, you don't want to use the rest rooms they stink even worse than ISBT rest rooms:( poort higene maintained.
I have faced all kind of issues and raised to concerned support team, Gaurav Madan, Kunal Chowdhary. But they kinda sleep on those complaints and really don't bother because we have paid the complete fee upfront.
A single batch of 50 students pays approx 50k per head totalling a 25, 00, 000 rupees to DSIM for this course and what gets in return is not worth it at all. There are many institutes out there offering same course curriculum at 1/3 of the fee(yes below 20k for this course). In fact some recognised universities have started the digital marketing course program and their curriculum is very strong.
Final word: Digital marketing is buzz word and going to be next BIG THING in coming years but choose wisely before joining an institute.
And remember fee once paid is not refundable:)
Caution: Below website that rates DSIM 5/5 Star is owned by DSIM itself and not some student. People do those dirty tricks to make 25 Lakh rupees per batch and how many batches run at a time only GOD knows.
