I came across the Ethical Hacking Essentials Course from EICTA Consortium (IIT Kanpur) and it looks like a really good option for anyone wanting to start in ethical hacking from scratch.

Aspect	Details
Level	Beginner / Intermediate
Duration	36 hours (live instructor-led)
Mode	Online live weekday sessions
Fee	₹15,900 + GST (total ~₹18,762 inc. GST)
Certification	Yes, from EICTA Consortium / IIT Kanpur

What you'll learn:

• Core ethical hacking concepts & attack methodologies
• Network scanning, vulnerability assessment, system-level attacks
• Web, wireless, mobile, IoT, and cloud security attack techniques
• Defensive strategies, countermeasures, and security best practices
• Hands-on work with real hacking tools, lab environments, and live projects

It's CEH-style content but more affordable and compact than some longer programs. If you're a beginner in cybersecurity or looking to transition into a security analyst / penetration tester role, this could be a good starting point.
