What is the difference between PGDM and PGPM? What are their advantages?

PGDM VS PGPM: PGDM and PGPM are two different courses. PGPM is an award program and not a degree; and is not an AICTE recognized course. It is not offered by an AICTE approved institution and a student who pursues a PGPM will not qualify for higher studies like PhD since PGPM is an award program and not a degree. A PGPM Course may be of any duration and is offered at the Institute level; whereas PGDM courses are of 2-years duration. PGDM courses are designed by integrating current management theories with industry specific perspective and allow students to go for higher studies. PGDM programs are AICTE approved and thus holds greater importance from non-recognized PGPM courses. Thus failing to possess any recognition, PGPM program carry very less importance and development opportunities. PGDM is a degree that enables you to pursue higher education like Ph.D but completing a PGPM program does not facilitates you to opt for higher studies. Students pursuing PGPM program possess very low chance of getting job opportunities while a PGDM degree elevates your capability to grab best potential career options raising your bankability and marketability both nationally and internationally. As PGPM program does not acquire any approval, the quality of education imparted on students can be a major question; whereas the quality of education in PGDM can take you to new heights.
