Hello sir, which one is better between PGDM and MBA? Should I go for an MBA or for a PGDM? What’s the difference?

[Raman Vij]

MBA (Master of Business Administration) is a Masters degree while PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) or PGDBM (Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management) is a Diploma certificate.

A two year full time PGDM Diploma and a two year full time MBA programme are equivalent. But, a one year PGDM diploma cannot be considered equivalent to an MBA. When in Full time or Part time MBAs have more value over MBA by correspondence.

According to my searching I was founded that a two year PGDM through correspondence may not be equal to a three year MBA by correspondence.

MBA or equivalent PGDM has high value with work experience.


MBA is offered only by Universities and Colleges affiliated to Universities

Institutes which are not affiliated to any University or colleges which have not registered the course with the University give PGDM degrees.
