PGPM is a certificate & not degree which is provided by autonomous institutes & have no regulation from UGC or AICTE. You will get a MBA degree from ICFAI University Dehradun if you opt for flexi learning with PGPM from IBS.

Yes, PGPM is a certificate course and you cannot go for Ph.D with this course. If you are willing to go for Ph.D, you can opt for MBA+PGPM course offered by IBS.
