Masters

The main difference between MSc and PG Diploma is the duration and the level of the course. MSc is a two-year postgraduate degree, while PG Diploma is a one-year advanced level short-term academic qualification.

MSc is a more specialised and research-oriented degree that provides advanced knowledge and skills in a specific field, while PG Diploma is more practical and focuses on providing hands-on experience in a particular field.

Additionally, MSc is usually awarded by universities/colleges after a course ends which meets the academic requirements of an institution, whereas PG Diploma is an advanced level short-term academic qualification that is typically one year long.

I hope this helps you understand the difference between MSc and PG diploma!
