Hi

  • MBA i.e Master of business administration is a degree course , and being a degree it is  little  more theoretical


  • PGDM is graduate diploma in management i.e it is a diploma course, PGDM is accredited by Association of Indian Universities which makes it equivalent to MBA, it is more practical

So, there's  not much difference  between  MBA and PGDM , the only thing is that MBA is a degree course while  PGDM is a diploma course , also when it comes to job then there's no difference in the way companies  treat a PGDM and an MBA , even your Career growth is similar for both the courses and it  largely depends upon your performance.

So both MBA and PGDM have more or less equal scope and opportunities

Thank you
