ZapScholar Transparency: What Every Major PDMC Claim Actually Means.
Numbers are useful only when they are defined. This page explains 18 weeks, 360+ hours, 5+ projects, 12+ campaigns, ₹5–8L+ marketing spend, mentors, tools, certifications, placement assistance and seed-fund opportunity without ambiguity.
What is the simplest way to read PDMC claims? Most numbers describe the cohort programme model.
They should not be automatically interpreted as equal personal allocation to each learner.
Per cohort, per project, per learner and programme-wide are different claims.
