FAQs

MBA or PGDM, which is better?

An MBA is a university degree; a PGDM is a diploma from an AICTE-approved autonomous institute. Employers judge the institute more than the label. Use our MBA vs PGDM fit check.

Can I do an MBA without CAT?

Yes. Many colleges accept MAT, CMAT or their own tests, and some admit on graduation marks and an interview.

Not sure MBA is right for you?

A counsellor can match the course to your marks, budget and goals.
