What is the difference between MBA and MMS? I have completed B.Sc IT and looking to pursue MBA.

There is no difference between MBA and MMS degrees. There is only nomenclature difference between both the degrees. Syllabus of both the degrees are same. In India traditional post graduation degree in management is MBA. Some universities offer MMS to create and maintain unique brand image. Acceptance of both MBA and MMS is same in job market and for higher studies in India and Foreign universities.

MBA stands for master in business administrationIt is a 2 year degree course that is designed to fulfill industrys demands and includes in depth study of subjects like accounting, marketing, finance, HR, operations, and project management. MBA students can either take a general course comprising all the subjects or choose to focus upon one of the subjects that is taught at length in one of the four semesters that the course is divided into. While there are countless colleges and Universities offering MBA degree today, all students aspire to clear CAT (Combined Aptitude Test) conducted by IIM (Indian Institute of Management). IIMs are considered to be the premium MBA colleges in India and even have a good reputation abroad. Students passing from these IIMs are easily absorbed in top multinational companies at attractive salary these days. MMS stands for Masters in Management Studies and is a 2 year management degree program that is approved by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). The course content is very much similar to a regular MBA program as it provides in depth knowledge in different areas such as marketing, systems, HR, operations, and finance. If anything, universities offering MMS claim to be more industry ready than other colleges providing MBA degrees. This is because MMS is designed to provide not just theoretical knowledge but has a solid practical content as Universities have strong tie ups with corporations to provides students inside knowledge of the practices in the industry. Thus MMS can be a stepping stone to a successful career in any industry as the student is industry ready by the time he completes the course.
