Which is better option MBA or pgdm

Hello,



masters in Business Administration or MBA is a degree course offered by the Universities (both Government and Private) and Colleges affiliated to these Universities. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a Diploma programme offered by B-schools/Colleges that are recognised by Government of Indias nodal body for technical education - All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).



in terms of job prospects, there is absolutely no difference betweenMBA and PGDMif one comes from a reputed B School. In India, 9 out of 10 best B colleges offerPGDM. Placements are depends on the brand name of the college, alumni network and what is the impression of your institute in the industry. That is why we see top management colleges offerPGDMvery limited colleges offerMBA. The performance and appraisals are not based on a persons credentials but solely is based on performance.



n case one wishes to continue with their higher studies by going for a PhD or double MBA, preference is always given to a candidate with an MBA degree. Even though difference between both is very less, MBA degree is given an edge for the simple reason that it is aMasters Degreeandnot a Masters Diploma.



Therefore if someone is not looking for further studies in the field then there is absolutely no difference between an MBA and a PGDM. What should be kept in mind though is that PGDM should be pursued from an institute having a standard and name in the industry.



hope this helps you !



all the best !
