The eligibility of a PGDM student for a PhD program depends entirely on the institute's specific recognition.

In India, a PhD typically requires a Master’s degree. While PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) is a diploma and not a degree, it can be considered equivalent to an MBA (a Master's degree) if the institute has obtained official recognition from the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).

If the PGDM is AIU-equivalent to an MBA: You are generally eligible to apply for a PhD in Management at most universities, subject to meeting other criteria like minimum marks and passing entrance exams (e.g., UGC NET or a university-specific test).

If the PGDM is NOT AIU-equivalent: You may not be directly eligible for a PhD at certain universities, especially central/state universities or for government teaching positions that mandate a master's degree.

Actionable Next Step: Always confirm with the PGDM institute whether their specific program has been granted AIU equivalence to a Master's degree before applying for a PhD.
