WHY CHOOSE A PGDM PROGRAM OVER AN MBA

In today’s competitive world, a Post Graduation degree is preferred by both corporates and students for better growth. It gives an edge and enables graduates to be considered for higher level opportunities.

Most students, however, are unable to differentiate between an MBA degree and a PGDM degree. This article aims to clear the doubts in the students’ minds.

Let us first understand the difference between the two courses.

PGDM - Post Graduate Diploma in Management

This is a course offered by autonomous institutes like Ramaiah Institute of Management and are recognized by the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
