Approvals & Recognition
The two-year full-time PGDM at VSOB is approved by AICTE, Government of India.
Recognition
Approved by AICTE, Government of India
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is the national regulator for technical and management education in India. The two-year full-time Post Graduate Diploma in Management at Vishveshwarya School of Business runs under AICTE approval, with a sanctioned intake of 120 seats for the 2026-27 session.
As an autonomous AICTE-approved institution, VSOB designs and delivers its own curriculum within the regulator's framework — which is what lets the programme stay current with industry rather than wait for periodic syllabus revisions. For employment and further study, an AICTE-approved PGDM stands on par with an MBA.

A curriculum industry recognises
Autonomy lets the school revise courses every year with input from recruiters and mentors, so what you learn matches what employers hire for.
