If you ask any parent, the best place for an investment of the saved money, would not be in real estate, not to buy a luxurious car, but only to invest in making a good career of their children. Currently, it is not sufficient of just being a graduate, it will not lead you a decent salary and your career growth will be limited only. Post-graduation is a must to give a proper direction and to increase the dimension of a career, and the best option left is doing a PGDM or an MBA course. Currently doing an MBA is not lesser than any investment, we need to do a wise decision with reasons of pursuing it. Do a proper analysis and research work before taking admission. What is PGDM or MBA professional course? PGDM (Postgraduate diploma in management) is a diploma courses which are awarded by an autonomous institute, though they are not affiliated by any university, but are approved of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Like IIMs, XLRI, Asia Pacific. While an MBA is a degree course, this is only given by those institutes which are affiliated by any University. Like FMS, SIBM, IIFT. However, any autonomous college can also give MBA degree if they are approved by the association of Indian University (AIU). If any autonomous institute starts collaborated MBA program with any foreign University, then AIU approval of that MBA degree is a must. This is helpful for higher studies and to get a government job. Like Asia-Pacific runs MBA in healthcare with collaboration with RUDN University. Asia Pacific Institute of Management, New Delhi is one of the colleges which have both AICTE approval for its PGDM courses and AIU approval for its MBA in healthcare course which it runs in collaboration with RUDN University of Moscow.
