Which is the best career option: PGDM or MBA after completing B.Com? Does it make any difference in getting jobs?

Difference in focus of curriculum: While there are huge similarities in the curriculum of both MBA and PGDM, there are finer points of difference. While MBA focuses more on theoretical aspects of management and is more exam-oriented, PGDM has a focus on building soft skills and is industry-oriented. It prepares you for the job market. MBAs are more affordable: As compared to PGDM, generally MBAs are more affordable as the fees is almost similar to university standard. Difference in focus: An MBA will help in developing technical skills and business knowledge whereas a PGDM will prepare graduates for senior level positions in industry and paves the way for a strong corporate career. Hence, if you’re looking for a career in the challenging area of management, you should go for PGDM.

Hi, It is majorly dependent on the organisation from where you take up the course. To the extent of studies they are not greatly different. When it comes to job, it again drops down to the institute from where you complete your PGDM or MBA. Generally, colleges or B-schools assist in placements in that case there is not much of difference. In case you go out in the market without campus placement, then what counts more is your institute than PGDM or MBA.
