Hello Aspirant,

Hope your doing good

While an MBA course tends to be more theoretical, a PGDM focuses on the technical aspects, providing exposure to real-life business situations. Also, a PGDM is very different than a one-year PGP offered by many private institutes all across India.

• As MBA is a degree, it can only be offered by universities and institutes affiliated to universities. Their curriculum is accredited by the University Grants Commission (UGC). On the other hand, autonomous bodies like IIMs are not authorized to offer a degree. Therefore, their course, the Post Graduate course in Management is recognized as a diploma and is regulated by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
• Though MBA and PGDM courses may not differ vastly. We all understand that management is a dynamic sector, and a lot of changes happen every day.
• . On other hand, PGDM courses have no such concerns.  The curriculum of PGDM changes to ensure students are up to date with current industry trends. PGDM courses are much more adept in being industry-ready.
• to summarise In India, as well as overseas, both MBA and PGDM courses are regarded as having equal value when it comes to career prospects. Having a PG diploma instead of a degree is certainly not considered to be a drawback. It is the reputation of your university or institute and more importantly, your professional capabilities that truly matter.

Hope this helps, ping us more for such queries.

Thankyou

Goodluck for everything ahead.

Hello dear student !

PGDM and MBA both are almost equivalent in terms of scope or career in India as well as overseas. But, however, if you wish to pursue higher education abroad, then a PGDM is considered to be a dimploma whereas a University affiliated MBA will be considered as a degree, ultimately giving you a better standing. So choose wisely.

Hope this will help you !
