Hi aspirant, it's depends on the student who wants to pursue the course a d also depends on the future goals.

As PGDM is Post Graduate Diploma in Management and MBA is Masters of business administration both the courses are based on management studies and you will get job after anyone of these courses or if you want be an entrepreneur then this will a good option after PGDM or MBA.

Hey, 

Both are almost same, in terms career prospective doesn't make much differences. However below are some comparison in several parameters like institute type, duration time, curriculum type, fee structure. 

MBA lasts for 2 years where as PGDM ranges from 1 year to 2 years. MBA course is more focused towards developing the business and technical knowledge where students usually develops the theoretical concepts that are essential for business world. PGDM is more focused towards the practical approaches of things which mould students to face real life problems and come up with feasible solutions. Additionally students get industry oriented and adaptable to corporate environment.

Hope you chose the better. 

Thank you and keep asking :)
