8 years agoYes it is. With the implementation of IIM Bill, now IIMs can also offer MBA degrees. -
PGDM stands for post-graduate diploma in management. It is not same as that of simple MBA as you will not be able to fill the form where post-graduate degree is needed but in some cases, exception lies as they also ask for PGDM as post-graduation degrees since PGDM degree offers the best campus and packages in private sector.

IIM Provides PGDM course, and it's similar to MBA.
All the best.
