As per me what matter is the institute one is doing the management course from and not what the degree is.<br /> Many IIMs provide a PGDM certificates and still are better than most of MBA colleges.<br /> Yes MBA is a degree and PGDM is a diploma BUT when applying for a private sector jobs in an MNC or Indian companies- it definitely doesnt matter if you are PGDM or MBA.
