  • · Apart from that there is no difference in PG and MMS be it lectures, professors, infrastructure, fees, library, PLACEMENTS etc.

PLEASE NOTE - where ever you see PGDBM or PGDBA, it is typically a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management.

Major institutes like SP Jain, IMT Ghaziabad, etc. offer this very diploma certificate

IMPORTANT INFO

In Sydenham the PGDBM actually started in 1976 as a 1 year program (name-DBM).then in 1992 name was changed to current PGDBM , 2 year duration.

In CET brochure, it says starting year as 2007 it is incorrect and needs to be corrected
