MBA is a complete Post Graduation Degree Program &PGDMis a Post Graduate Diploma in Management. This implies Student just get Diploma Certificate in PGDM not degree. Both the program term is 2 years.

Those who need to get PG degree in administration can go for MBA.

As I would see it, MBA is superior to PGDM since priority in promotion is accorded to the individuals who have higher qualifications like MBA.

Although there are similarities between the curriculum of both, differences exist as well. A student pursuingMBAwill be studying more of the theoretical aspects of management. An MBA institute will be following a fixed curriculum as it will be based on the university guidelines.

A student pursuing a PGDM course will be gaining knowledge regarding building soft skills and the programme is more industry-oriented. An autonomous institute does not have to follow university standards, so it is free to change its curriculum according to industry standards and change in the business environment. The course will prepare you for a senior level position in a company.

All the best!

Hey,

Both MBA and PGDM are good for higher education. MBA is for 2 years whereas PGDM may vary from 1 to 2 years. Both are different in their own places. PGDM is like a diploma course. I would recommend MBA as the fee for PGDM is relatively high. For more details you can visit the link below.
