Which course should I choose between PGDM and MBA?

It's up to you what you want to do. Talking about these two career options, both of them have similar course curriculum, the only thing about this is that PGDM is a diploma which is approved by AICTE and is given by institutions whereas MBA is a degree which is given by universities approved by UGC but PGDM is also equivalent to a 2 year MBA program.it also offers specialisation option like MBA does. Go through the institutions and look for parameters like: Placements Faculty Resources Salary packages Curriculum Crowd Extra-curricular

PGDM is an Institute autonomous program which is approved by AICTE MBA is a program which is affiliated to a university. Colleges which offer AICTE approved courses will also offer PGDM not MBA, for example XYZ College is affiliated to ABC University they offer MBA course affiliated to that University, the same college is offering AICTE approved course it means they are offering PGDM which is not linked to ABC University. 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 MBA course. Even IIMs, XLRIs doesn’t offer MBA degrees they only give PGP Diploma or PGDM since they are autonomous and independent bodies.
