What's the difference between the courses: Masters in Management and Post Graduate Diploma in Management at Welingkar?

As a former Welingkar student (PGDM Full time - 2013 batch), I can throw some light on how the institute is. I will highlight some pluses and minuses about the college and overall what to expect. If you are looking at joining a good b-school, the below is something you should expect from the college as a bare minimum: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/2mEh9nL" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://bit.ly/2mEh9nL</a> Exposure Internships &amp; Final Placements Infrastructure Physical Tech Knowledge Curriculum / Course Options Intellectual Capital Brand Name Fees vs Package Alumni Rankings Other opportunities/facilities Welingkar also has a AAA committee comprising of 2nd-year students. AAA stands for Acquisition, Application and Assimilation of Knowledge. Students get the opportunity to attend education/management specific seminars (within Mumbai) and then chip in with their ideas on how to improve the education standards of the courses making it more practical based. Dean &amp; Professors are the mentors who review the ideas shared. Overall, I hope I have given you good insights on why Welingkar is a good investment and in general what you should expect from a college. If you get into Welingkar, go for it unless you have a better option at hand. Good luck!
