An MBA or PGDM both are equally important and hold equal value. But the college you pursue your MBA or PGDM from is very essential to choose wisely. With the advancement of technology, new profiles are emerging in various sectors so it becomes important that candidates get to choose their area of interest. Many management colleges upgrade their curriculum when required, offering different specializations. Many of my friends have done their MBA and PGDM courses from Pune Institute of Business Management (PIBM) As per my knowledge, it is a renowned B-School that provides full-time MBA and PGDM courses. I think PGDM is their flagship course, as it is designed by their faculty members. The best feature of this course is that it could be updated from time to time. Whereas, the MBA course, could not be updated in that manner since it is affiliated with Pune University.
