PGDM is an institute autonomous programme which is approved by AICTE.
MBA is a programme which is affiliated to a university.
Colleges which offer AICTE approved courses will only offer PGDM not MBA.
Typically, if any PGDM is to be equivalent to MBA then the course duration should be 2 years, a 1 year PGDM will not be equal to an MBA course.
Even IIMs and XLRIs don't offer MBA degrees as they only give PGP Diploma or PGDM since, they are autonomous and independent bodies.
Always see college's reputation and placement record instead of MBA and PGDM programme. -
Hello Sunny.
As long as the B-school is a reputed one, it doesn't matter whether it is MBA or PGDM. Example: NMIMS gives MBA whereas all the IIMs give PGDM. https://www.shiksha.com/mba/resources/faq-1#8 Kindly visit the given link to know more.
