Graduation refers to completing an undergraduate degree, such as a Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BSc), or Bachelor of Commerce (BCom), typically lasting three to four years. It provides foundational knowledge in a chosen field. Postgraduation, on the other hand, is an advanced level of study pursued after graduation, such as a Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc), or Master of Business Administration (MBA). It offers specialized knowledge, research opportunities, and career advancement prospects. While graduation builds fundamental skills, postgraduation deepens expertise, making individuals more competitive in the job market or preparing them for doctoral studies.

Hello,

Graduation refers to completing a bachelor's degree (like BA, BSc, BCom, BTech) after finishing school. It is the first level of higher education.

Post-graduation refers to studies after graduation, like a master's degree (MA, MSc, MCom, MTech, MBA) or a postgraduate diploma. It is an advanced level of education in a specific field.

Hope it helps !
