Masters in Business Administration (MBA) is a two years degree course in the field of management. In India MBA degree can be awarded by any recognized university or by a business school affiliated to any university. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a two years Diploma course offered by the institutes that are recognized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and which are autonomous and not affiliated to any university. It is not mandatory that a PGDM is equal to MBA. PGDM institutes accreditation by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) makes an institute's PGDM course equivalent to an MBA.
