    H,
    With 5 years work experience, you may check executive programs by prestigious institutes like IIMs, XLRI, etc. There is no big difference between MBA & PGDM, just that most of the institutes conferred upon degree for Business administration as PGDM meaning Post Graduate Diploma in Management.
