MBA vs PGDM: Which one should you choose?

The debate between MBA (Master of Business Administration) and PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) is as old as business education itself.

The Core Difference

MBA is a degree provided by universities, while PGDM is a diploma provided by autonomous institutes approved by AICTE.

Which has more value?

In the corporate world, top tier PGDM colleges (like IIMs) often hold more weight than average MBA colleges. It all depends on the brand name of the institute.
