Hi Thangaraj,

I suggest you to go for MBA in place of PG Diploma if you are looking for PGDBM from any Indian institute because very few management institutes offers PG Diploma which is equivalent to masters level program (for that you have to check AIU equivalence list on AIU website) and if you do MBA then after that you have a management degree and after MBA you will also eligible for Doctoral level studies. Now comes to your second answer yes it will definitely help in your growth as well as future prospects because usually, MNCs look for MBAs with experienced candidates. In India there are many foreign universities who are also offering the PGDBM course for experienced managers such as Cornell but their fee is very high so go for some reputed institute for your programme (you can also check Careers360 B-School ranking) if you belong to Delhi or nearby then you can go for FMS Delhi Executive MBA programme because you have the relevant experience for that and if you are from any other state then check Pondicherry university DDE courses they also offer MBA, as well as PGDBM courses but, don't go for any state university because their distance degree is not valid in any other state whereas in case of Pondicherry University which is a central university they can award degree across India even for distance courses and also have study centres in major cities. So check which suits you and hope this information works for you if you need any other advice or clarification you can feel free to reach out in the comment section below. Good Luck.
