    PGDM is post graduate Diploma in management and MBA is Master of Business Administration. Earlier, IIMS were not allowed to give MBA degree, but post-IIM bill is passed, IIMs have autonomy to decide whether to give MBA degree or PGDM.

    1. IIMs.
    2. XLRI.
    3. MDI.
    4. IRMA.
    5. FORE.
    6. IMI.
    7. Taxila.
    8. BIMTECH and
    9. SP Jain offers PGDM.
    In general, placement of all PGDM is higher than MBA. MBA is a cheaper course, while PGDM is expensive. Keeping in view your career, you should try for PGDM. Legally, both courses are equal.

    Hi Akshat,
    MBA stands for Master of business administration and PGDM means post-graduation in Diploma management. In MBA, you get to learn old information, which will not improve your knowledge in regards to future business and companies demand.
    In PGDM, you get to learn new things and new ideas regarding future development of business. So, this is the big difference between MBA and PGDM. For a decent salary, you can join PGDM.
    All the best.
