Which course is better in Saraf: PGDM or MMS? I scored 67.11% in MAH-CET. Should I wait for CAP round or apply for PGDM in Saraf?

Both have there own pros. And the PGDM admissions are already done. I'd suggest you to wait for the MMS now. And both the courses are nice here. The faculty is great.

MMS admission is taken through CMAT exam through centralised process. But for PGDM students have to apply separately for each college. If you are confident of scoring 270 260 plus in CMAT then dont apply to these PGDM programs as you might get MMS call. But I will recommend that apply to PG esp KJ Som n Welingkar as backup. As most of the PG programs will give you call for GDPI at even 200 score. So your chances are still alive for making into top 4 colleges through PG. In short: MMS degree Apply centrally thro DTE from Jan onwards. PG degree Apply to college. Most of the MBA aspirants who plan do an MBA are normally confused them is to go for a MBA from a recognized university or PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) from a college. While there are huge similarities in the curriculum of both MBA and PGDM, there are finer points of difference. MMS / MBA focuses more on theoretical aspects of management and is more exam-oriented. Example you have to take MBA in marketing, finance, HR, operations or systems. While PGDM has a focus on building soft skills and is industry-oriented like they can offer program in Retail, eMBA, Capital Markets. Since an autonomous institute does not have to follow university standards, it is free to change its curriculum according to industry standards and change in business environment. Some of the MMS / MBA curriculum is 10 years old and students are not taught latest curriculum, and Also a PGDM gives students an industry exposure. Whereas it will take time to change the curriculum for MBAs as it is affiliated with a university and it will essentially follow the university guidelines and changing this curriculum is a very slow process. However this depends on the college and the faculty teaching the subjects to keep students abreast with the latest curriculum. In compared to PGDM, generally MMS / MBA is more affordable as the fees is almost similar to university standard. You can get a rough idea if you compared the fees of IIM and JBIMS the difference is almost 5:1 if not more. For the colleges which are offering MMS and PG course the difference in the fees is almost 3:1. The most important thing for students planning to pursue is placements and thankfully there is no difference from the companies point of view. However, one should remember that it is not important whether a student pursues PGDM or MMS or MBA. The most important thing is the brand name of the college rather than the course offered.
