What is the better option to opt for: MBA or PGDM

The dilemma that roots in the minds of candidates is whether to go for a University recognized MBA-degree or a full time PGDM course to be able to become part of a promising management career! It depends on a lot of factors such as entrance exams (CAT, MAT, XAT), Group discussions, Personal interviews, Work experience, academic performance etc.

Both MBA and PGDM are popular courses pursued by a large number of students in India. It largely depends on the perspectives of individuals to ascertain which one to give more weightage. While the curriculum for MBA is designed by Universities, PGDM course curricula are determined by the relevant Institutes. Many private Institutes do not accept recognitions from universities so that they can develop an industry-specific working syllabus. This gives them an opportunity to keep their course up to date. On the other hand, an MBA degree must follow all the regulations set by the higher authorities and implementing changes into the syllabus depends on the University Council. So whether to opt for an MBA degree or PGDM, the decision varies from person to person. Also in the ever-changing dynamics of today's management environment, it is important for a person to determine which course can provide them a sustainable career and make them industry ready. Hence, figure out what your goals are, where you want to stand a few years ahead- choose your options carefully. If someone is willing to pursue an MBA degree by correspondence, then a full time PGDM is a better option. On the other hand, if someone wants to go for a management degree from a Central University or a State University, then an MBA degree will have more advantage.

Difference between MBA and PGDM

With Management courses and Institutes exploding in the sector of higher education in India, aspiring students for these courses ought to understand the difference between MBA and PGDM before moving ahead. The degree of MBA is offered by 'Universities' or 'Colleges that are affiliated to Universities'. There are many Colleges and Institutions that are affiliated to a university and can offer an MBA degree while PGDM is offered by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) approved Institutions. However, accreditation by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) gives an institute's PGDM equivalence to MBA. Also it has to be noted that some colleges offers a one-year PGDM course which is not equivalent to MBA. The main reason why postgraduate courses are named as PGDM is because when an Institute is an autonomous body (meaning it is not affiliated to any University) and conducts management courses then such Institutes cannot offer MBA degree. Even IIMs, XLRI's doesn't offer MBA degrees they only give PGP Diploma or PGDM since they are autonomous and independent bodies. On similar lines AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) is allowing approved colleges to run a PGDM course. Some Business Schools offering this AICTE PGDM course need not be autonomous, the PGDM course will be autonomous given by the Institute & directly approved by AICTE, Ministry of HRD, Govt of India. Just like how UGC – University Grants Commission controls the Universities in India, AICTE – All India Council for Technical Education has control on both technical and management courses and especially colleges not under Universities. Even colleges offering UGC recognized MBA programmes in most cases should have AICTE approval.
