Good evening !
No, PGDM in ICBM-SBE is not equal to MBA, its importance would be rather lesser than a full time MBA, but for the job in the Private sectors, PGDM is more important.
For P.Hd and Government jobs, you may use this PGDM certificate as well, because not it is accepted for P.Hd. For Government jobs, only Bachelor's degree is required in most of the cases, even if it asks for MBA, PGDM would also be mentioned along with it.
For jobs in foreign countries, both MBA and PGDM are equally good, there is no such difference.
Thank you.
