MBA is a master degree and PGDM is a Diploma. A master degree has more credits, hence it has more value.

The main difference between MBA and PGDM IS that MBA course is mostly linked to the university that changes the syllabus once in 3-4 years. But PGDM is something that is linked to the college. College usually prepares question papers and does the correction. PGDM syllabus will be updated according to new changes in the field. Some of the private sectors prefer MBA and PGDM during Jobs and many of the government sector jobs prefer MBA.

MBA stands for Master of Business Administration. On the other hand PGDM stands for Post Graduate Diploma in Management and it is a diploma program. As per the norms of the UGC, colleges affiliated to a university can offer MBA degrees. The private schools which are not affiliated to any university can offer the Post Graduate Diploma in Management programs. Before you make any decision you should know MBA program is a lot cheaper than PGDM program. MBA focuses on theoretical knowledge of management concepts. Theoretical knowledge is useful where you want to go for research. MBA degree is more exam oriented and theoretical in nature. When we will talk about PGDM, it gives you industry exposure. It will drill you with intensive training and give exposure to real life business situations and building soft skills. It prepares you for the industry ready. It is more practical in nature. Hence, if you are looking for a career in the challenging field of management, you should go for PGDM.

Hey, actually Department of Management Sciences, PUMBA is a very Prestigious Institution for MBA especially in Pune and Maharashtra. The main reason behind this is it's ROI, best campus. Likewise, the type of people who take admission range the cutoff between 98 to 99.60 percentiles.

MBA stands for Masters in Business Administration. PGDM stands for Post Graduate Diploma. Both are courses offered for management domains. Universities like BITS, etc., are allowed to offer MBA course while institutes like IIM, XLRI and NITIE offers PGDM courses. Specializations like finance, marketing, supply chain management, operations are offered in both the courses. Moreover, private colleges which are not affiliated to any university and are themselves not a university offer PGDM There is also an executive MBA and Executive PGDM offered which is for working professionals who are having experience up to 5 years in their domain. Both the courses have their own value and relevance, and it does not affect any of your career choices after pursuing any of the above degree or Diploma. There can be a little difference in course structure and syllabus but not much.
