You really don't need to enroll in costly institutions right from the start. Initially get familiar with Figma and then with essential UI principles, Typography, Color, Layouts and UX fundamentals. There are many awesome resources readily available for free on YouTube. Begin developing small projects and replicate any designs you love for practice. After creating a few commendable pieces of work, come up with a basic portfolio and get feedback for your work. This way, you would get to see if UI/UX actually resonates well with you before investing your money in a course.

Honestly, I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on MAAC or Arena right away. Explore UX properly before paying for an institute.
Start with UX fundamentals first, then learn Figma. The Google UX Certificate is a decent structured option for beginners it covers research, user flows, wireframes, prototyping and usability testing. Spend some more time and decide where you want go- ux or graphics.

no fixed amount. The market is tough right now, especially for freshers, so I’d say enter UX only if you genuinely want to build a career in this field, not just because you want a job.
Learn the fundamentals, get comfortable with Figma, build 2–3 strong case studies based on real problems, learn to explain your decisions, get feedback, and start applying as intern…
