PGDM Vs MBA
PGDM is controlled by AICTE (All India Council of Technical Education) and MBA is controlled by UGC (University Grant Commission). Due to the stringent rules and regulations of AICTE, very few colleges are approved to offer PGDM. UGC being liberal approximately 5500 colleges are offering MBA programs while only 500 offer PGDM. Keeping in view the demand and supply curve, the demand for PGDM in the corporate world is much higher than most of the MBA courses.
