• Choosing the Right Path for Your Masters: MMS or PGDM?

  
  

  Prof. Rupesh Kadam | Management

Are you in a situation where you’ve been striving for admission into MMS after appearing for MBA MH-CET, but unconsciously overlooking the option of applying for PGDM? It might be time to reevaluate your choices.

Trust me, if I had the chance to go back and choose my master’s studies again, I would opt for PGDM without hesitation. Why, you ask? Because the pedagogy and approach of PGDM could have potentially paved a different, more impactful career path for me with new age specialisations.

Regrettably, the past can’t be rewritten, and opportunities that slipped away remain just that—unreachable.

However, if you’re reading this, consider it your final call to take a step back, reflect, and make a well-informed decision that could shape your future.

Both MMS and PGDM hold their own unique advantages. MMS often emphasises a more university academic approach, while PGDM tends to focus on practical, industry-oriented learning with updated syllabus. Choosing between the two depends on your career aspirations, learning preferences, and the type of skill set you want to develop.

If you’re finding it challenging to secure admission in MMS or missed the CAP rounds and haven’t yet considered PGDM, you might be missing out on a pathway that could be the turning point in your professional journey. Sometimes, we get so fixated on one goal that we inadvertently overlook other equally promising avenues.

Remember, life rarely presents second chances. If you’re at a crossroads now, seize this moment to evaluate your options objectively. Don’t hesitate to explore the road less travelled—it might lead you to a destination you hadn’t imagined, and ultimately, a more fulfilling career.

So, if you’re faced with a decision that could define your future, take that bow, embrace the uncertainty, and make a choice that aligns with your aspirations and values. Whether it’s MMS or PGDM, the power to shape your destiny lies in your hands. Choose wisely.
