have ruled the academic trend chart since a long time now. There has been a
constant war between PGDBM and MBA
and everyday it’s getting more and more confusing for students to decide what
to go for. Before discussing the debate further, let’s first understand what
are PGDBM and MBA and the
differences between them. PGDBM is
Post Graduation diploma in Business Management and it originated in the United
Kingdom whereas MBA is Masters in Business Administration program was developed
in the United States.

the latter is a degree course. PGDBM is
more industry oriented as compared to MBA which is majorly theoretical in
nature, as the course entails a wide range of subjects pertaining to different
verticals of any given industry. Now that one knows in basic terms what the two
courses are let’s discuss about industry acceptance and accessibility to the
courses.

widely and easily accepted than MBA as the course makes it easy for an
individual to get more accustomed to the new work environment. Also it’s easier
for industry insiders as the employee also has hands on experience regarding
the nature of work he is being hired for. Degrees from good MBA colleges are
also considered but practical learning takes more precedence.
