What is the difference between PGPM and MBA programme there is huge difference or not like placement vize......???
There is no as such difference between PGPM and MBA programme except in terms of certification. After completion of MBA programmme, candidates will be awarded an MBA degree from a UGC recognized university. Basically, PGPM is a career oriented programme which prepares the candidate for careers in corporate. However thises candidates can enroll themselves for MBA in flexi/ distance learning mode from any University and they can also obtain MBA degree in addition to the PGPM Programme.
Hi Hitesh,
- MBA - Master of Business Administration
- PGPM - Post-graduate Programme in Management
- PGDM - Post-Graduate Diploma in Management
MBA degree is usually offered by universities or the colleges affiliated to universities, while PGPM or PGDM are diploma courses offered by institutes approved by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education). PGPM/PGDM can either be of one year or two years. One year PGPM/PGDM cannot be equivalent to MBA. However, two-year PGDM or PGPM holds almost equal reputation. Look at IIMs for example. IIMs offer PGDM and that holds a very high importance. Even the curriculum is quite same in MBA and two-year PGDM/PGPM. As far as placements are concerned, there is no difference.
