Hi Anudeep, Let me answer your second question first as it will give you clarity in choosing the program. The main difference between PGDM and MBA is that PGDM is a postgraduate diploma which is given by stand alone / Autonomous Institutes which come under the jurisdiction of AICTE like XLRI, SP Jain etc. And MBA is a degree program provided only by Universities and come under the jurisdiction of UGC like JBIMS and FMS, PUMBA, these B-schools are university depts. of their respective university. It depends on the schools/ institute's reputation from where you are doing the course. Like PGDM program from XLRI and MBA from FMS will have almost equal standing. Ultimately what will mater the most will be how one uses that knowledge which one acquires from the institute or school. Coming to your next query, yes, you can go for both the programs but not from the same Institutes. You can do one through correspondence and one through regular, if you want to do both the programs together then you can it through the institute which is providing dual degree programs MBA +PGDM. Hope this resolves your query. If Yes, please close this question by choosing it as a best answer" or giving "thumbs up" Thanks, Pooja

Her difference is already cleared by Pooja. If you want to do dual specialization then choose distance learning because they only allow you to do togetherly.So for more information reply to rekham@mitsde.com

Hi Anudeep, It is not possible to do MBA and PGDM from same insttitue. Both are almost same to some extent but preference is given more for MBA when you apply for job. MBA no doubt will add feathers to your resume. I suggest you go for MBA.
