Faculties are great. They explained the concepts really well and made the sessions fun. It was a totally new way of learning. Industry sessions were so inspiring. I remember a session on product management, which is my profile. I took lots of notes and those concepts still apply to my current profit. Ability to work and learn at the same time was the greatest aspect of the program.
HOD Operations & Supply Chain, Giesecke & Devrient
Structure of program is very good. For an experienced person like me, going over unnecessary basics was not required. This was taken care of in the program. The other students are highly experienced and you get to learn from their thought process as well. It is a real value add in the whole experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
An MBA program is offered by a government or private university or a college affiliated with a university. Only these universities, which come under the University Grants Commission (UGC), can award degrees.
A PGDM program is offered by AICTE recognized b-schools and standalone/autonomous b-schools, under the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD), which do not come under the UGC. However, it is pertinent to know that the corporate world does not differentiate between the two. Graduates from both programs are equally eligible for the same kind of management jobs.
Business schools (or private MBA colleges) offering PGDM can revise their curriculum in response to changing business needs and industry behavior. They can quickly adapt new models, tools and technologies to deliver cutting edge education to their students. Universities undergo such revision in a time-based manner, mostly in 3 to 5 years.
