1. Is PGDM(2 years full time course) from IIBM- Patna equivalent to MBA? 2. Is PGDPM from NIPM- Kolkata equivalent to MBA?

Hi Rakesh,Your question is an interesting one!If you are opting for a PGDM(2-year full-time course), it ideally has the same weightage as a regular MBA. The only visible difference is that PGDM is a Diploma programme whereas MBA is a Degree programme. This is not institution specific, so you can safely choose any one of the programmes.If you are inquisitive about the placement value of both the programmes, much depends on the company and your personal competency.Hope it helps!Best wishes.
