I am Planning to do MBA or PGDM can anybody tell me which one is good.

An MBA course focuses on the development of a student's technical expertise while also developing theoretical notions. The PGDM program is designed to prepare students for real-world circumstances. So, it only depends on you which course is suitable for you.

PGDM is a diploma and is equivalent to Diploma from any Indian university .
PGDM courses are industry oriented like MBA which are more theoretical in nature .
PGDMs focus more on grooming program , mentorship and industry exposure.

PGDM course from a recognised university is usually good to persue good salary options.

Both MBA and PGDM courses are regarded as having as equal value when it comes to career prospects.
Having a PG Diploma instead of a degree is certainly not considered to be a drawback.

°°° PGDM stands for post graduate diploma in management which is a diploma while MBA is Master of Business Administration and it is a degree course.
Since PGDM is offered by autonomous institutes chances are that their claim of proper acclimation status is wrong and they are falsely advertising their course as PGP or PGDM.
But in the case of MBA since it is offered by universities the possibility of fraud is much less so if you are planning to study PGDM choose a reputed Institute and do proper research on their accreditation.

MBA is an old version for those wishing to pursue Management Studies, a two year diploma course.

PGDM, postgraduate in management sounds better.

Generally PGDM course is far more industry - relevant and practical as far as the job market is concerned.

We have provided all the difference between MBA and PGDM. But keep in mind these below points while choosing any of these programs, they are:-

Compare fees structure between PGDM vs MBA.

There is no difference between MBA and PGDM if one comes from a reputed institution.

An MBA program emphasizes the development of a student's technical skills as well as academic concepts. Students in the PGDM program will be prepared for real-world situations. So it's entirely up to you to decide which course is best for you.
