    Very often MBA aspirants are confused between MBA and PGDM and have difficulty in choosing between the two programs. the fact is that the industry treats MBA and PGDM graduates in an equal manner. Even in the global job industry same treatment is given to MBA and PGDM graduates. In fact, the industry is concerned more with the skill set of the students rather than the degree. Hence doing either MBA or PGDM will have the same impact on your career. Your starting salary will depend more on the reputation and brand name of your college/business school and not on the degree name. Hence you must carefully choose your college/business schoo

    In India, only those management institutes which are affiliated to a university can offer an MBA degree while PGDM is provided by any autonomous body as well as institute affiliated to any university.Our college provide you both MBA as well as PGDM.While there are huge similarities in the curriculum of both MBA and PGDM, there are finer points of difference. While MBA focuses more on theoretical aspects of management and is more exam-oriented, PGDM has a focus on building soft skills and is industry-oriented. It prepares you for the job market.

    Hello Kiran, as such there is no difference between MBA in business management and PGDM in business management, the only difference is that MBA program is offered by the universities where they offer a degree while PGDM course is offered by autonomous colleges affiliated to AICTE or any other authority they offer diploma certificate. Infact all the IIM's offer PGDM only.
