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.

The key difference between a PhD student and a PhD candidate is that a PhD student is still completing coursework and working on their research, while a PhD candidate has finished their coursework and is focused on completing their dissertation. In other words, a PhD candidate is further along in the process of earning their PhD than a PhD student.
A PhD candidate is a student who has completed all the requirements for a PhD degree except the dissertation, while a PhD student is still working on completing all the requirements for the degree.
