Hi Piyush,PGDM is post graduate diploma in management and MBA is Masters in Business Administration. You receive a degree certificate from the university under which you have compelted your MBA under AIU affiliation. Whereas, in PGDM, you received a diploma certification from the institute approved under AICTE/AIU affiliation. Comparatively, PGDM is better as the course is competitive, upgrdaded and prepares you to get ready for a real challenging job world. Wehereas, MBA course curriculum is conventional where upgradation of course is very rare depending upon the university guidelines.

Hi Amar,
THE AICTE , UGC and DEC are bodies made by the government of India to evaluate the courses and curriculum being run by different private and public educational institutions. They determine whether the right standards of education are being maintained or not. An initial approval by these agencies also affirms whether students are taking admission in a decent institute or not.
As far as MBA is concerned, DEC is for distance courses, UGC is for University run MBAs and AICTE is for other technical institutes. Regarding your question about degree or diploma, none is better than the other. Degrees are awarded by universities and diplomas by other institutes. You should focus on the reputation of the institute rather than whether they have degree or diploma being awarded.
Please also look up the link at https://www.management.shiksha.com for detailed information on the courses.
As for LPU, its a UGC affiliated.
