PGDM stands for 'Post Graduate Diploma in Management '. This is a full time diploma course of 2 years certified by AICTE. B-schools offering PGDM course are autonomous bodies with industry-oriented curriculum which allows them maximum flexibility to constantly keep updating their course curriculum adapting to the industry development.

PGPM stands for 'Post Graduate Program in Management' is not a degree but a certification course. The duration vary from 1-2 years of period and doesn't possess any sort of recommendation as it is generally offered by colleges without affiliations. The biggest difference is that PGDM enables you to pursue higher education like Ph.D but a PGPM program doesn't facilitate you the same.

I hope my answer helps you. All the very best for your future endeavors!
