PGPM or Post Graduate Program in Management is a certification course, not a degree course, and it is also offered under several other names such as PGP, PGPX, or EPGP. This course is for those students who have completed their graduation and are now interested in gaining managerial skills. The course duration is of 1 year, but some colleges do offer 2-year PGP courses.

PGPM is a great course that imparts management skills to a student through the theoretical understanding of subjects as well as through hands-on exposure via projects and internships. The curriculum is quite similar to an MBA program, but the duration is shorter, which makes the course suitable for working professionals. The PGPM course used to be associated with IIMs, but nowadays, many private institutes have also started offering these courses due to their popularity.
