Hello,

If you are interested in a corporate job and career select a B-school or college based on their ranking, curriculum and placements as corporates dont treat MBAs or PGDMs differently. They want candidates that can perform well on the job. So,curriculum and faculty is important.

PGDM has Industry oriented structure and as autonomous institutes offer this course, therefore the curriculum is kept in accordance to the latest developments and also offers specializations. PGDM has a more practical approach and you get real time business world experience. Many reputed Business schools in India, as well as Abroad, give preference to PGDM students over MBA students. This is due to the practical insight which PGDM offers and MBA which is more theoretical lacks. Hence it gives you an advantage over other students.

At the end of an MBA programme, students are given MBA degree instead of a Post Graduate Diploma.You do not need any AIU equivalence certificate to accompany your MBA degree while to prove that you have done MBA an equivalence certificate is needed with PGDM. At the international level, MBA degree is well recognized for global employment opportunities and is acceptable by all the recruiters. Top B-schools in the world offer MBA degree and not PGDM diploma.

Keeping the above points in mind as per your requirements you can select between the two.

Hope this helps, Good Luck.
