PGDM is an institute autonomous program which is approved by AICTE.
MBA is a program which is affiliated to a university.
Colleges which offer AICTE approved courses will also offer PGDM not MBA, for example, XYZ college is affiliated to ABC university they offer MBA course affiliated to that university, the same college is offering AICTE approved course it means they are offering PGDM which is not linked to ABC university.
Typically if any PGDM is to be equivalent to MBA then the course duration should be 2 years, a 1 year PGDM will not be equal to MBA course.
Even IIM's, XLRI's doesn't offer MBA degrees they only give PGP Diploma or PGDM...more -
We have 3 separate options -1. MBA+ PGPM IB( International Business), 2. PGPM HR, and 3. PGDM. For the first one is a 2-year course, you get MBA degree from Pondicherry University and PGPM certificate from Globsyn. You have a provision to get international placement for this one. The second one, PGPM HR, is a one year course and you get a degree in HR specialization. The last one, PGDM, is an AICTE approved course where you get your post graduation diploma of management degree after the completion of two years. The 3 different courses have some differences when it comes to the subjects that you have to study.
