Pgbm stands for Post graduation means after graduation or MBA stands for master degree it can do it with bba or bcom.

Hi Karthick,

After B.com both MBA/PGPM or M.com are equally good, it depends on your interest that what you wish to do in future.

If you wish to go for corporate jobs in the areas of marketing, finance, HR, operations etc then you should go for MBA as companies prefer MBA over M.com.

However, if you wish to go in the areas of research, do a Ph.D. or go into lectureship then you can opt for M.com. It doesn't mean that someone with an M.Com can't land up in a corporate job, but they are less preferred over MBA's.

Hope it helps. You can reach out to us for any further assistance.

Good Luck!

Hi Hitesh,

• MBA - Master of Business Administration
• PGPM - Post-graduate Programme in Management
• PGDM - Post-Graduate Diploma in Management

MBA degree is usually offered by universities or the colleges affiliated to universities, while PGPM or PGDM are diploma courses offered by institutes approved by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education). PGPM/PGDM can either be of one year or two years. One year PGPM/PGDM cannot be equivalent to MBA. However, two-year PGDM or PGPM holds almost equal reputation. Look at IIMs for example. IIMs offer PGDM and that holds a very high importance. Even the curriculum is quite same in MBA and two-year PGDM/PGPM. As far as placements are concerned, there is no difference.

Hello Rishi,

BOth college are new and backed by two well known brand i.e. IMT & GLIM.You should choose on factors such as placements,faculty,fee,batch size, alumni network and recognization.

GLIM :(It is a 1 year program and requires 2 yrs experience)

Fee : 14,84,000 lac(including hostel,mess and etc)

Placement: Avg 11.14 lac ctc Highest !8 lac ctc

Batch size : 60 seats

Fee : 12,10,000 (Including hostel mess and etc)

Placements : Avg 7.5 lac Highest 12.5 lac

As we consider above statistics I will suggest you to take GLIM Gurgoan PGPM as batch size is small,Return on investment is high.If batch size is too big then it become difficult to place all students on zer placement day.So choose wisely considering above facts.

Hope I cleared your doubt.All the best for future endeavor

Hi Rohit, congratulations on your CAT score. It is indeed a very good score in this exam. Generally there are two parts for applying: 

1) IIMs 

2) Non-IIMs 

For IIMs, you dont have to apply separately and all. By the score and profile, the IIMs send out calls to the aspirants for the next subsequent rounds. 

Whereas for Non-IIMs you need to apply separately for each and every college by logging on their official Website and filling up the application forms. They would shortlist based on the various criterias. 

After that you need to attend the GD round and then PI rounds of various colleges you get call from. Some colleges even have Written Ability Test also. You would be judged on various parameters in these rounds, wherein you need to perform well. 

They give an overall score to GD-PI-WAT performances and also the CAT score and weightages are provided as per the management decision, and based on the overall scores, one gets admission for MBA Programmes. 

Generally work experience plays an added advantage along with the academic scores as well. Some colleges dont give importance to academics. Some colleges dont give importance to work experience and some dont give weightage to both parameters. But it always gives an edge over other students while shortlisting. 

I will tell some of the colleges you can expect a call from are, 

1) IIM Lucknow 

2) IIM Calicut 

3) IIM Bangalore 

4) New IIMs like Trichy, Vishakapathnam 

5) Newer IIMs like Jammu and Kashmir

I will provide you our pathfinder, where in you can a lot of details and various top colleges for this score,
