Hello dileep,
In my opinion there is not much big difference between PGDM and MBA.
Both these courses are having value. Universities and colleges recognised by any university provide you MBA degree and some other business schools provide you PGDM.
No matter it is MBA or PGDM the university or college you get your degree does matters. Corporates doesn't like at MBA or PGDM but they look at the talent of the student and his skills. so i can say that none or these both are inferior nor superior. from my point of view both are important and are having importance in companies. so don't worry but get your degree from a top college

Dear Dileep, Thank you for showing interest in GLBIMR. MBA courses are offered by Universities and they follow syllabus approved by University.University syllabus are not flexible and to bring changes in the syllabus keeping in mind current industry trends is a time consuming process. PGDM ,on the other hand is an Autonomous program where in syllabus as per industry standards. Out of PGDM and MBA ,many corp orates prefer PGDM more as its syllabus is updated and more practical exposure is provided to the students in form of certification programs,workshops,conferences, seminars etc.
