What should I do among PGDM and MBA after doing engineering?

PGDM and MBA both are similar. But, if you want to get an MBA degree that too affiliated to AICTE, then join IISWBM. It is the oldest B-School of India and it offers MBA program from Calcutta University and is approved by AICTE.

Master in Business Administration (MBA) is a 2-year degree course in the field of management. In India, MBA degree can be awarded by any recognized university or by a Business School affiliated to any university. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a 2-year Diploma course offered by the institutes that are recognized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and which are autonomous and not affiliated to any university. It is not mandatory, that a PGDM is equal to MBA. PGDM institutes accreditation by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) makes an institute's PGDM course equivalent to an MBA. There are large number of similarities between the curriculum of both, MBA and PGDM. An MBA institute follows a fixed curriculum, as it will be based on the university guidelines which occasionally may not be aligned to industry requirements. Autonomous institutes do not follow university standards. So, they have the flexibility to align its curriculum according to industry standards and change in the business environment. Some of the PGDM from IIMs, XLRI etc. have more value than MBA. However, MBA of FMS DU, IIFT etc. have similar value as IIMs. Students are advised to choose Institute based on its ranking not on nomenclature of degree.
