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 eligibility norms for PhD programmes are decided by respective universities and may vary. Candidates who have completed the PGDM Online programme and have been awarded the certificate are eligible to apply for SPJIMR's FPM (Doctoral level) programme.
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.
