IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WHY CHOOSE A PGDM PROGRAM OVER AN MBA

In today’s competitive world, a Post Graduation degree is preferred by both corporates and students for better growth. It gives an edge and enables graduates to be considered for higher level opportunities.

Most students, however, are unable to differentiate between an MBA degree and a PGDM degree. This article aims to clear the doubts in the students’ minds.

Let us first understand the difference between the two courses.

PGDM - Post Graduate Diploma in Management

This is a course offered by autonomous institutes like Ramaiah Institute of Management and are recognized by the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). PGDM is generally preferred by corporates as it is a more rigorous and exhaustive course. Institutions accredited with Association of Indian Universities can claim that their PGDM is at par with MBA.

MBA – Master’s of Business Administration

A management degree offered by universities and can be taken up by any undergraduate from any field. It is also a less exhaustive course when compared to a PGDM program.Other differences between the two:

	PGDM	MBA
Scope	Has a broad scope as it allows one to choose multiple specialisations. A Finance major can choose a marketing minor or an Operations major can choose a HR minor and so on.	Limited scope of specialisations
Industry focus	Relevant to industry with updated curriculum matching industry needs.	Focused on curriculum and syllabus
Course depth	Subjects are covered more comprehensively with more depth into the subject matter.	Covers a broad spectrum of the subject
Faculty from industry	Distinguished faculty with industry experience help prepare and mould students for corporate careers better	Faculty from academic background
Pedagogy	Uses innovative methods of teaching and ensures students understand concepts in more detail. Role plays, case studies, games, etc. are used as part of teaching pedagogy.	More frontal method of teaching
Industry Preference	Preferred by corporates as it is able to incorporate changing industry requirements dynamically	Less preferred by industry
Skill upgradation	With more industry exposure, a student is able to sharpen skills better and be industry ready	Limited exposure to skill upgradation
Industry connections	High level of industry interactions as industry participates in curriculum development, etc. leading to better placement opportunities for students	Limited industry interaction
Easy financing	Students can avail educational loans at low-interest rates and flexible terms easily due to AICTE recognition	Available for recognised universities
Greater exposure	Internships, projects, interaction with corporates, guest lectures, etc.	Limited exposure

Status	PGDM	MBA
Scope	Has a broad scope, allowing multiple specializations (e.g., Finance major with a Marketing minor, Operations major with an HR minor).	Limited in scope, often restricting the flexibility to choose diverse specializations.
Industry Focus	Relevant to the industry with an updated curriculum matching industry needs.	Focused mainly on traditional curriculum and syllabus, which may not always align with current industry trends.
Course Depth	Subjects are covered comprehensively with more depth into the subject matter.	Covers a broad spectrum of subjects, sometimes lacking depth in specific areas.
Faculty Background	Distinguished faculty with industry experience help prepare and mould students for corporate careers better.	Primarily features faculty from academic backgrounds, which may limit practical industry insights.
Pedagogy	Uses innovative teaching methods (role plays, case studies, games, etc.) to ensure detailed understanding of concepts.	Relies more on traditional, frontal teaching methods, which can be less engaging.
Industry Preference	Preferred by corporates due to its ability to incorporate changing industry requirements dynamically.	Often less preferred by the industry due to its more static and theoretical approach.
Skill Upgradation	Provides more industry exposure, allowing students to sharpen skills better and be industry-ready.	Limited exposure to real-world skill upgradation and practical application.
Industry Connections	High level of industry interactions, with industry participation in curriculum development, leading to better placement opportunities.	Limited industry interaction, potentially affecting placement opportunities and industry relevance.
Financing	Students can avail educational loans at low-interest rates and flexible terms easily due to AICTE recognition.	: Financing options can be more restrictive and may not offer the same flexibility.
Greater Exposure	Offers internships, projects, interaction with corporates, guest lectures, etc.	Provides comparatively limited exposure to practical experiences and industry interaction.
