Hi Bharath Reddy,
It totally depend on you.
First i will define what do both courses mean
Hi, This is the difference:
PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) is a diploma degree issued by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) recognized institutions in a 2-years full-time program. It is at the par with the quality of education imparted on students pursuing an MBA degree.
PGPM (Post Graduate Programme in Management) is not a degree but a certification course. It is a typical 1-2 years program, and doesn't possess any sort of recommendation as it is generally offered by colleges without affiliations.
Difference:
The biggest difference is that PGDM enables you to pursue higher education like Ph.D but a PGPM program doesn't facilitate you the same.
In short, PGDM is a course while PGPM is a certification. If you are looking for job purpose(most do) go for PGDM.
