Hello aspirant,

It is incorrect to say that PGDM and MBA are identical courses because PGDM is a diploma programme and MBA is a degree programme. However, in terms of their curricula, specialisations, and fundamental topics, they are fairly comparable to one another.

After completing an MBA programme, students have two options: they can pursue a Ph.D. in management or enrol in the Fellow Programme in Management (FPM). Diploma holders, however, are not qualified for Ph.D. programmes; only those with an MBA are.

Hello,


PGDM and MBA are similar but not exactly the same. PGDM stands for Post Graduate Diploma in Management while MBA stands for Master of Business Administration. The main difference is that PGDM is offered by autonomous institutes and some colleges as well while MBA is offered by universities. Both programs cover similar subjects but the curriculum and teaching methods mavarary.

Some people prefer PGDM for its industry-oriented approach, while others prefer MBA for its academic oriented approach.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
