Frequently asked questions
Can an arts graduate learn Python at MITS Academy Amritsar?
Yes — we have successfully trained arts graduates including BA English, BA History, and fine arts students in Python at MITS Academy. Logical thinking and consistent practice matter more than your degree. However, be prepared for a steeper initial learning curve compared to engineering students.
How much can I earn from digital marketing freelancing in Punjab?
MITS Academy digital marketing graduates typically earn ₹10,000–₹50,000/month freelancing for local Punjab businesses (hotels, wedding photographers, shops, hospitals). With 1–2 years of experience and Google Ads certification, monthly freelancing income can reach ₹60,000–₹1,00,000.
Is Python useful for Digital Marketing too?
Yes — learning basic Python (2 months) after your Digital Marketing course makes you significantly more valuable. Python helps with SEO automation, data analysis, ad performance reporting, and scraping competitor data. MITS Academy recommends doing Digital Marketing first, then adding Python basics.
