Confused About Choosing Between MBA and PGDBA for Better Job Prospects? Need Your Advice!

prattt69
I've completed my B.Sc. in Psychology from Annamalai (DDE) and am now looking forward to pursuing a reputable Master's or PG course that could help me secure a decent job. I have also obtained diplomas in Entrepreneurship and Business Management from EDI, Ahmedabad. I am seeking advice on the best option to choose from the following two, as I am confused and in need of experienced help:

1. MBA from SMU with a specialization in HR/Marketing.
2. PGDBA from SCDL with an HR specialization.

I am struggling to select the institute as my primary focus is on quality education and good job opportunities after course completion. Unfortunately, I am unable to pursue a full-time MBA due to my current situation (that's why I opted for a B.Sc. through distance learning), so please do not suggest a full-time MBA. I kindly request your guidance in making the right decision as my goal is to secure promising job offers. Therefore, I seek advice on which of the two options holds a better reputation in the eyes of recruiters and HR managers. Once I make a decision, I do not want to have any regrets.

Thank you in advance.

Can anybody please answer it? I really need help. The more research I do, the more confusion it creates. SCDL has good market value, but it only offers a PGDBA, and you can't pursue a Ph.D. after that. Nor does it have equal value to that of an MBA, which is a complete master's degree offered by SMU.
