The course subjects change with the market&#8217;s inclination towards new technologies and subjects. Unlike the MBA course, PGDM gives less importance to theoretical knowledge and focuses heavily on the practical aspects of marketing and business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach lets students see through real-world issues and solve them with their critical understanding of market, business, finance, and solutions. Here is a list of PGDM core subjects to study.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Environment &amp; Policy<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing Management<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial Management<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managerial Economics<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Management of IT &amp; Data Visualization<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strategic Marketing Fundamentals<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operational Management<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qualitative Techniques and Optimization<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managerial Communication<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Business Ethics<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human Resource Management<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Organisational Behaviour<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accreditation_and_Recognition\"><\/span>Accreditation and Recognition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MBA and PGDM courses must have been accredited and recognized by an authorized body.

For MBA programs, accreditation from organizations such as AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS is important and considered of high value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, PGDM courses are administered by individual autonomous organizations and thus are not accredited by the same bodies as MBAs. However, they must have the accreditation of AICTE, which stands for All India Council for Technical Education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, both courses must be valued by employers in the real-world market.

Universities &amp; autonomous bodies offer placements but you need not stick with that only. Networking through online platforms such as Email, LinkedIn, and other job-related platforms. This will help you catch the recent trends &amp; better opportunities in jobs or freelance (if preferred).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, there are individual training institutes in MBA and digital marketing that offer classroom training and placement assistance after course completion.<\/p>\n<p>For example, GrowthAcad, a <a href=\"https:\/\/growthacad.com\/courses\/digital-marketing\/\">digital marketing course in Pune<\/a> offers placement assistance and career training for their future in marketing.<\/p>\n<p>So, you can also opt for classroom training institutes to enhance your knowledge and practical skills.
