The main difference between a PGDM and an MBA is the institution that offers the programmes. An MBA, or Master in Business Administration, is a degree that universities confer, and only universities can give degrees. A PGDM is a diploma offered by autonomous institutions approved by the AICTE. A PGDM is equivalent to an MBA, and recruiters may look for either when considering hiring candidates.
The fee for the PGDM Online is INR 10,00,000. At the time of application, a non-refundable application fee of INR 1500 is to be submitted.
