Difference between MBA and PGDM

One of the major dilemmas of a Management is whether to choose MBA or PGDM. Book My Colleges is once again here to assist you. So, when the question such as ‘which one is better MBA or PGDM?’ There is no direct answer to such a question because an MBA is a degree which represents that the student has completed his Master in Business Administration, while PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) is a diploma course for business management. 

Both MBA and PGDM are business-oriented courses, focused to educate students about the latest and efficient business technique. Their curriculum includes training for business related skills and embarking on innovative thinking. Therefore, on the basis of academic curriculum there is no paramount difference in MBA and PGDM.

Eligibility criteria for enrolment in a program for both MBA or PGDM. A candidate must be a graduate from any of the recognise UG institution with cutoff percentages (Different management institution sets different cutoff, however it's generally its 50%), apart from it some management institution also prerequisite that candidate must achieve enough score in the B-School exams such CAT, XAT, CMAT, etc. Final selections are generally based upon GDPI round (some B-Schools also had WAT round) for final selection.

Then what is the difference between the two? The simple answer is the ‘Institution’ which offers DEGREE or DIPLOMA of the respective course. MBA degree offered by the institutions which are affiliated by any university, for example FMS, Delhi which is directly affiliated with university of Delhi. On the other hand, PGDM is offered by autonomous institutions, like SPJIMR which is an autonomous institution thereof it offers PGDM diploma.

As you had read above there is not really any major difference in both. Ultimate key objective of both is to make the student ready for the business world. So, whether you choose MBA or PGDM it won’t make any difference, what’s really important is to choose the right institution. MBA or PGDM are just courses, the real value of any diploma or degree depends upon the institution which allocates them. Rather than getting confused on whether to choose MBA or PGDM students should focus more on choosing the best institution for them, their future prospects depend upon it, especially if enrolling in PGDM. Since it is offered by autonomous institutions, students should put extra caution and check the institution accreditation before applying for a PGDM course.
