The Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a comprehensive two-year postgraduate program aimed at equipping students with advanced management knowledge and practical business skills. Unlike traditional university-affiliated MBA programs, PGDM is offered by autonomous institutions recognized by the AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education), allowing for a more flexible and industry-relevant curriculum.
The course includes rigorous academic learning, case studies, internships, and live projects to ensure students are industry-ready. Specializations typically include Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Operations, Business Analytics, and International Business, among others. Many PGDM programs also incorporate global exposure and soft skills development.
PGDM is widely recognized in the corporate sector and is considered equivalent to an MBA by employers, especially if the institution is accredited by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).
