PGDM or MBA, dilemma continues

-

It appears B-schools have created more confusion for students claiming tall achievements.

Graduates are searching for the best pathway to reach their goal and it's the time for the institutions to lure them towards management courses. And as the entrance season approaches the dilemma for the management aspirants continues – its MBA or PGDM? The confusion is further enhanced by the numerous business schools that have sprung up claiming tall achievements and the expanding MBA colleges in the university system.

What's the difference, qualitatively as well as in terms of recognition?
A Masters in Business Administration (MBA) is a degree course offered by the colleges affiliated to the universities while the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a diploma course offered by the institutes that are recognized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Even the prestigious IIMs offer PGDM and not MBA as they are not part of any university.
Colleges offering the MBA course have to follow an academic curriculum prescribed by the University while the PGDM institutes like the XLRI, IPE, IIFT, SP Jain, NMIMS have the flexibility to design their own courses within the parameters prescribed by the AICTE. They can change the syllabi and introduce new courses depending on the market demands while the MBA colleges have to strictly follow their respective University's curriculum.
“An MBA is for those who seek a university programme to get a holistic view of the programme while the PGDM is for those who seek specialization in the area of their interest,” feels V. Venkataramana, Dean, School of Management Studies, University of Hyderabad.
While choosing the institution, teachers' advice that, aspirants should look for the brand of the business school. The brand signifies its established practices that provide better learning environment for personal growth and its networking help students reach its alumni and industry easily. A powerful brand is a tag that can be carried throughout the career. Christ University, Bangalore is a huge brand as an institution established under Christ University Trust, Bangalore known for its consistency in delivering quality education, serene ambience, healthy environment, world class infrastructure, best facilities and international exposure. They promote holistic education to the students to spread the message of excellence, service, association and ethics to the nation and abroad. Christ Institute of Management, Delhi NCR established under Christ University Trust, Bangalore is an extension running PGDM programme providing complete opportunity and exposure to the management aspirants to grow their career and equip themselves as per the market demands.
