Hello Tintu,
PGDM expands to Post Graduate Diploma in Management, The main reason why postgraduate courses are named as PGDM is because when an Institute is an autonomous body (meaning it is not affiliated to any University) and conducts management courses then such Institutes cannot offer MBA degree. Even IIMs, XLRI's doesn't offer MBA degrees they only give PGP Diploma or PGDM since they are autonomous and independent bodies.
When an Institute secures autonomy they design their own curriculum to be taught instead of following outdated University syllabus. Technically syllabus change affects university affiliating colleges, the books needs to be revised and the faculty needs to upgrade themselves. Where as in PGDM, since the colleges are autonomous the curriculum can be updated regularly depending on the need in Industry without approval from any University. Hence one can say that PGDM courses are more Industry relevant, up to date as compared to MBA courses.
While opting for PGDM courses, students must exercise caution and check the accreditation status of the college. Colleges offering PGDM courses needs to be accredited by AICTE. In case of MBA, the colleges are affiliated to an University and Universities are controlled by University Grants Commission (UGC) and the colleges may also get accredited by AICTE. According to a recent supreme court verdict, UGC recognized MBA programmes need not have AICTE approval.
I hope it would clear all the doubts you have, best wishes :)

Hi,
MBA is a post graduate degree and is offered by universities, whereas PGDM is post graduate diploma and is offered by AICTE approved autonomous institutes.
Both these course have almost the same course curriculum and is equally accepted by corporates for job so you may pursue any of these course.
However if you wish to pursue Phd in future in that case you may consider pursuing MBA only.
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 institute or university to pursue MBA or PGDM program:
- Accreditation of the institute.
- Institute's infrastructure.
- Teaching faculty.
- Specialization offered.
- Past placements records.
- Tuition fees.
- City preference.
