PGDM

PGDM is a postgraduate diploma program in management, focusing on practical skills and industry relevance. While an MBA is a degree program offered by universities, PGDM is offered by autonomous institutes and often has a more flexible curriculum and industry-oriented approach.

Eligibility criteria typically include a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university, satisfactory scores in entrance exams such as CAT, MAT, XAT, or GMAT, and sometimes work experience, depending on the institute.

The duration of PGDM programs typically ranges from one to two years, depending on the institute and whether it is a full-time, part-time, or executive program.

PGDM programs offered by autonomous institutes often have more flexibility in curriculum design, faculty selection, industry collaborations, and pedagogical methods, allowing for greater innovation and responsiveness to industry needs.

Yes, PGDM graduates can pursue further studies such as PhD programs in management or related fields, or they can engage in research and academic activities while working in industry or academia.
