Hi,
Please remember MBA is offered by universities, whereas PGDM is offered by AICTE approved institutes.
Both these course have almost the same syllabus, so you may consider pursuing any of these course.
However, please remember while taking admission your emphasis should be more on taking admission in good universities or institutes.
You may consider some of the below mentioned points while selecting a university/institute for pursuing MBA/PGDM:
- Accreditation of the institute.
- Institute's infrastructure.
- Teaching faculty.
- Specialization offered.
- Past placements records.
- Tuition fees.
- City preference.
- Industry interface.
In order to get detailed information regarding course curriculum, placements, faculty members etc it would be always advisable to browse through the official website of the institute where you wish to take admission.
If possible, you may personally visit the institute, and talk to the students studying there, and take there feedback regarding faculty, teaching methodology, placements etc, all this will help you to take decision regarding which institute to join.
Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.

Hi, there is negligible difference between MBA and PGDM. Only universities can offer an MBA degree. For example , Department of Management Sciences, University of Pune, Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies or Faculty of Management Studies can offer MBA degree as they are affiliated with universities. However, an MBA institute like IIM's will offer you PGDM only. PGDM is the flagship program of almost all the top B Schools. MBA focuses more on the theoretical aspects of management. At the same time PGDM is entirely industry focused. It enhances your soft skill - presentation skills , case studies and so on.
