What is the difference between post graduation diploma (management) and MBA??
MBA & PGDM, both the courses have almost similar outcomes in term of employment prospective. There are some basic difference in PGDM & MBA.
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.
At the end of PGDM you are offered a diploma & after completing MBA you are offered a degree.
Now the choice should be yours as per your interest but now a days most of the students prefer PGDM as it focus on skill based on market requirement.
