There are a large number of similarities between the curriculum of both MBA and PGDM.

Autonomous institutes do not follow university standards, so it is have the flexibility to align its curriculum according to industry standards and change in the business environment. Some of the PGDM from IIMs, XLRI, etc. has more value then MBA. However, MBA of FMS, DU, IIFT, etc. have similar value as IIMs. Students are advised to chose Institute based on its ranking not on nomenclature of degree.
