What is the difference between PGDM & PGDCM?
First of all there is absolutely no difference between PGDCM and PGDM as far as placements are concerned, or regarding the facilities and classes, which are combined with PGDM, except for the special compulsory courses of DCM in the first year: 1. Fourth generation languages 2. Data structures 3. Database management systems 4. Computing environment 5. Management information systems. This, combined with one compulsory systems course each in the terms of the second year, in effect means an automatic additional major in Systems. One can then choose the rest of the subjects (13-22) in the second year from different departments to major in any other stream(s); a minimum of 5 in any stream gets one a major in that. In the present batch of PGDCM, there are 58 students. 45 engineers. And out of 58 students 32 are IITians. People with both the options choose in favour of one of these courses depending on their preferences.
