MBA/PGDM

Hi,
An Executive MBA, or EMBA, is a graduate level business degree. This program is a lot like a regular MBA program. The main difference is that an executive MBA program is primarily designed to educate and enhance the careers of working executives, managers, entrepreneurs, and other business leaders.
From finance to HR professionals to product managers are taking this course to be able to have an edge over their peers. After completing an Executive MBA, you can look at:
- Lucrative job opportunities in big companies in India and abroad.
- Stand a chance to climb the corporate ladder faster in the organisation you are working for.
- Start your own venture.
There is a wide choice of institutes offering Executive MBA or PGPX programs. You can aim to pursue it from the top notch B-schools like the Indian School of Business (ISB) Hyderabad, various Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), XLRI Jamshedpur, FMS Delhi, S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai, etc. You can plan your admission by checking out this list of Institutes offering Executive MBA programmes across India. You can sort them course-wise and city-wise to suit your requirement.

Hi,
Both PGDM and MBA are similar degrees with nomenclature difference. E.g. PGDM of IIMs and MBA from FMS DU are equally good and have similar market acceptance. You are advised to select between both MBA and PGDM based on B-School ranking not the name of the degree.
The main difference between MBA and PGDM is that MBA is a degree and is offered by universities, whereas, PGDM is a post-graduate diploma offered by AICTE approved institutes.
Indian universities come under the University Grants Commission (UGC) and can, therefore, award degrees like the MBA degree, also known as MMS in Mumbai. Universities follow the UGC format for course content. On the other hand, reputed management institutes design their courses based on industry feedback and business relevance. They are not covered under the UGC.
