Most institutes teach on dummy accounts. At Akestech Academy you work on live client campaigns with real budgets, supervised by the practitioners who run them — and you leave with a case study, not just a certificate.
AEO/GEO playbook · 30 AI prompts · real campaign teardown · Lucknow salary data
Every institute in Lucknow advertises "live projects". We are the live project. Akestech Academy is the training division of an operating performance marketing company.
You will plan, launch and optimise campaigns on live client accounts under a named supervisor. Selected students manage real spend — with hard budget caps and approval gates.
Most syllabi add one "ChatGPT" module at the end. We teach prompt systems, agentic automations and AI creative production inside every module, because that is how the work is actually done in 2026.
Ranking on Google is no longer enough. We teach Answer Engine and Generative Engine Optimisation — how to get a brand cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews. Almost nobody in UP teaches this.
Contact hours stated, project titles listed, supervisor evaluation attached, QR-verifiable online. Designed for AKTU and AICTE internship documentation — not for Instagram.
We do not promise "100% placement". We commit in writing to a specific number of interview opportunities, mentorship hours and projects — and we publish our real outcome data every quarter.
Our best students are absorbed into the Akestech agency floor as paid interns and apprentices. Your training is our recruitment funnel — so we are incentivised to actually make you good.
From a two-day sprint to a six-month residency inside the agency. Every program includes real project work and a verifiable certificate.

42-page kit: the AEO/GEO playbook, 30 tested AI prompts for marketers, a live campaign teardown, Lucknow salary benchmarks, and a 90-day portfolio plan.
We do not hand a beginner a client budget on day one. There is a deliberate progression, and a supervisor gate at every step — because our clients' money is real.
Business models, funnel maths, unit economics and your personal AI workflow stack.
You run campaigns and SEO on Akestech's in-house sites first. Mistakes here cost us nothing and teach you everything.
A real account with a hard daily cap and every change approved by a senior before it goes live.
Top performers take real ownership on the agency floor — and that becomes the case study on your resume.
AICTE now requires a credited 6-month internship for diploma students, and AKTU maps 30 hours of internship to 1 academic credit. We build to those requirements.
| You are | Recommended program | Why | Typical outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| B.Tech — Year 2/3 | Summer / Industrial Training (60–90 hrs) | Covers your summer training requirement with credit-mappable hours | Portfolio project + compliant certificate |
| B.Tech — Final year | Performance Marketing Professional | Placement season is months away — you need a case study, not a certificate | Interview-ready portfolio |
| Polytechnic / Diploma | Summer Training → 6-month Internship track | AICTE's 6-month credited internship is now mandatory | Compliance + freelance-ready skills |
| BBA | Performance Marketing Professional | A marketing degree plus provable marketing skill | Agency or brand-side executive role |
| BCA | Professional + AI Automation module | Be the person who builds the automations | Deployed project + GitHub portfolio |
| MBA | Agency Residency (weekend) + SIP support | Your Summer Internship Project with a real client and real data | Distinctive SIP + pre-placement conversations |
Credit mapping is indicative and always subject to approval by your affiliating University.
We will run a 90-minute session on "AI and the Future of Marketing Careers" for your students, plus a separate session for your faculty. Whether or not we ever work together commercially.
Since AY 2025-26, AICTE requires a mandatory 6-month credited industrial internship for diploma students, and AKTU awards 1 credit for every 30 hours of internship. Every TPO in UP now has an administrative obligation to produce compliant internship documentation.
We give you a registered company partner that issues hour-stated, supervisor-evaluated, QR-verifiable certificates — and that actually has live client work for students to do.
No — and we would be cautious of anyone who does. What we put in writing is specific and countable: a minimum number of interview opportunities, mentorship hours, live projects and mock interviews for students who meet the stated eligibility conditions. We also publish our real outcome data every quarter. In a market full of "100% placement" claims, we would rather be the ones you can verify.
Entry-level digital marketing roles in Lucknow typically pay ₹2.5–4.5 LPA. Anyone promising you more locally as a fresher is likely overselling. The bigger opportunity is remote work for metro agencies and D2C brands, where trained juniors command noticeably more — and that is what we prepare you for. Performance marketing is currently the highest-paid specialisation in Indian digital marketing.
Our certificates state total contact hours, project titles and the training period, and include a supervisor evaluation sheet — the format universities need for internship and industrial training documentation. However, the award of academic credit rests solely with your affiliating University. We provide compliant documentation; the University makes the credit decision. Any institute claiming it can guarantee you credits is misleading you.
No. The Professional track assumes zero prior knowledge and starts from business fundamentals. Basic comfort with a laptop and spreadsheets is enough. Our AI Automation and analytics modules go deeper technically, and suit BCA and B.Tech CS students, but even there we teach from first principles.
Yes, but through a deliberate progression. You start on Akestech's own properties, then move to a sandbox client with a hard budget cap, and only then to a live account — with a named supervisor approving changes. This protects our clients while giving you genuine experience. Not every student reaches full account ownership; that is earned on performance.
Yes. Programs from ₹8,900 upward can be paid in 3 or 6 instalments. We also offer a 10% group discount when three or more students from the same college enrol together. Talk to a counsellor on WhatsApp for the current options.
Both. Our Lucknow centre runs offline batches, and we run live online cohorts for students in Kanpur, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Gorakhpur and beyond. The Agency Residency is Lucknow-only, because it involves working on the agency floor.
