What is the difference between PGDM and MBA? Do these programmes differ in terms of value and placements or they have equal weightage?
MBA & PGDM both are the good management programmes & now a days almost have equal weightage in term of placement & value.
MBA is a degree course offered by the colleges affiliated by Universities and PGDM is a diploma course offered by institutes that are recognised by All India council for Technical Education & which are Autonomus and not affiliated to any university.
A student persuing MBA study will be studying more of the theoratical aspects of Management. An MBA institute follow a fixed curriculam as it will be based on universities guidlines.
A student pursuing PGDM course will be gaining knowledge regarding building soft skills & this programme is more industry oriented. An Autonomus institute does not have to follow university standards, so it is free to change its curriculam according to the industry standards and change in the business Environment.
