PGDM

Each of these programmes deals with management and business administration concepts. While the nomenclature varies from programme to programme, the core subjects and curriculum remain the same.The major difference between these programmes is that while MMS and MBA are degree programmes, PGDM or Post Graduate Diploma in Management is a Diploma programme. The MMS and MBA programmes are offered by universities and are affiliated with the University Grants Commission (UGC). On the other hand,  PGDM is offered by private or autonomous institutes which are generally affiliated with the All India Centre for Technical Education (AICTE).

Parul University, like many institutions, generally requires students to have completed their undergraduate degree without any backlogs or failures to be eligible for a PGDM program. Since your cousin failed a subject in the first year of his undergraduate studies but managed to pass all subjects in the second year, his overall academic record might be a concern during the admission process.However, applying through the management quota can sometimes offer more flexibility. It’s possible that the university may consider his application favorably, especially if he has shown improvement and has a strong overall profile.It would be a good idea for your cousin to reach out directly to the admissions office at Parul University. They can provide specific guidance based on his academic history and help clarify whether his situation would affect his eligibility for the PGDM program. This way, you can get accurate information tailored to his case.
