PGDM courses are industry oriented unlike MBA, which are more theoretical in nature. PGDM focus more on grooming programs, mentorship and industry exposure. A PGDM program is offered by AICTE recognized b-schools and standalone/autonomous b-schools, under the Ministry of Education, which do not come under the UGC. However, it is pertinent to know that the corporate world does not differentiate between the two. Graduates from both programs are equally eligible for the same kind of management jobs.
