    An MBA is for those who seek a university program to get a holistic view of the program while the PGDM is for those who seek specialization in the area of their interest.
    Content wise there is not much difference but MBA will not have recognition problems for those going abroad while PGDM students have to be doubly sure of taking the equivalence certificates.
    Earlier, a PGDM was not recognized for higher studies like M.Phil or PhD. that seek a degree as a pre-requisite. But now PGDM certificates of some top institutes like NIMT are also being considered equivalent to MBA for higher studies.
