PGDM course is for freshers who don't have experience in the industry. PGDM Executive is for experienced students who have a minimum of 2 years of work experience.

Hi Sanjana. The difference is only you will be called of as a Executive- batch student where as in PGDM plain you will be considered as a fresher. Rest all things are same courses, facilities, etc. Executive batch students sit with fresher's as intake for Executive batch is less. Executive batch will be getting a good importance at time of placement as because of work-ex.
