Which course should I pursue among MBA, PGDM and PGBPM?

Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) or Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM) or Masters in Business Administration (MBA) are both management courses at Masters level. Both the courses have a commercial orientation and its difficult to differentiate between the two. MBA and PGDM are both business orientated courses. The main aim of the courses is to equip a person who wants to move up in the hierarchy and enter in to the management field. Degree vs Diploma At the end of PGP and PGDM course, candidates are offered a Diploma. However, at the end of an MBA programmes, candidates receive a degree. Many students tend to think that a Diploma course does not hold the same value as that of a degree. But that is not true. All the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and other top B-Schools such as XLRI Jamshedpur and SP Jain Mumbai offer PGP or PGDM courses. Most of these institutes are autonomous bodies (not affiliated to any University) and conducts their own management course. Syllabus In most cases, MBA course curriculum is designed by the university. The core syllabus (and sometimes even elective subjects) will be pretty much same in two MBA colleges under the same university. However, PGPM or PGDM courses are determined by the individual institute. This gives a certain flexibility to the course curriculum. Syllabus undergoes a change according to industrial requirements every year. Universities tend to lag behind and change their syllabus after a few years. Cost Factor It has been observed that most MBA courses have lower tuition fees as compared to PGP or PGDM courses. This may be so because mostly government approved universities offer MBA degrees. These universities receive financial aid and grants from the government, making the degree cheaper for the student. In case of a PGP or PGDM degree, students have to bear the cost of the entire programme. However, this is not an ironclad rule. There are MBA degrees which charge high tuition fees (such as IIFT). Finally, PGPBM Means post graduate programme in business manegment & PGDM Means post graduate Diploma in manegement, our syllabus is not design for B.Tech or bbm we have design for corporate world. PGDM and PGBPM is same.

If you are looking at PGDM courses in Chennai, choose between MBA, PGDM, and PGBPM management courses at the Master's level. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) or Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM) offer a diploma whereas a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) is a degree course. MBA degrees are mostly granted by government-approved universities.
