Not necessarily. It depends on what type of diploma, where is was obtained, the specific program of study, and more.
if u simply mean wot is the diff b/w pg diploma and masters then the answer is masters(msc) degree = taught part + dissertation proposal + dissertation. after a successful completion of taught part of msc you are eligible to get a post graduate diploma and when u successfully complete your dissertation after taught part you get a masters degree. in other words you are a pg diploma holder when you r preparing or writing or completing your dissertation.
May possible in outside India but no idea about Indian system.
Hope so.since it has a Prefix Graduate i believe its Equal to a degree.
No, a postgraduate diploma is considered a lower qualification than a Master's.

Sometimes you can get more financial aid if you do not yet have a degree. However, they ask for transcripts and those are going to say BA/BS awarded. The diploma is just something that you can hang. The problem with taking graduate classes as an undergrad is that you won't get the masters degree credit for those classes--you just did advanced work for your bachelors. I did about the same thing in taking graduate level courses in English for my English Lit degree--there was nothing to take to get a masters in the field!
It depends on what the diploma is in, and where the diploma was taken. New comment- It depends on country to country, university to university and one subject/major to another. for example in India, Postgraduate diploma(PGD) has same duration usually 2-3 years as in Masters degree. And as employment point of view it is equal too. However, Majority of people/employers/government prefer Masters degree over PGD as it seems more reliable. The reason is Masters degree is offered by only those Universities/colleges who are accredited, approved and recognized by Trustful organisations(UGC,DEC,AICTE) monitored by government. PGD is also accredited with same organization BUT with different clauses/laws and rules and PGD universities mostly are deemed universities. Admission eligibilty for PGD and masters degree is same :- Any Bachelors degree is required(in honours/pass/normal degree/second class degree,etc). PurplechaP
Most Caribbean dermatologists complete a postgraduate specialist diploma or masters in Dermatological Sciences in Britain
No. ''Technically''.....that would be Junior Graduate. A graduate student is a student who has earned a Bachelors Degree or Baccalaureate Degree. Graduate Students persue Graduate Degrees such as Graduate (Master Level) Certificates and Masters Degrees. Associates...Junior Graduate Study Bachelors....Under Graduate Study Masters......Graduate Study Doctoral/Doctorate.......Post Graduate Study
If the question is in relation to Jamaica in the West Indies, then you have diplomas of different types. You have professional diplomas, some of which are considered equivalent to a Bachelors Degree; you have post-graduate diplomas that are post-Bachelors, post-masters, or post-doctoral degrees; then you have 1,2,3 year diplomas that are not equivalent to degrees but can be used to assess credit and exemptions for a Bachelors Degree or Bachelors Completion Degree. It can get a bit complicated. So for each diploma make sure you ask, so you know beforehand which category it falls into. There is also the University Council of Jamaica to check with to sort it all out.
In terms of college, a diploma does not meet the credit requirement of a degree. Still, the diploma may be a specialty and focused on career oriented course work. For example, a diploma in Practical Nursing. Postgraduate programs of study are those areas that are taken after graduate course work (masters or doctorate) and also are typically focused on a specialty within a profession, however at an advance level.
It can vary..you can get a undergraduate/graduate major ,masters, bachelors or a Ph.D
