Hello
PGDM is given by an institute that is affiliated to the AICTE whereas an MBA is given only by an independent university. Both are considered as equivalent in India; what matters more is from where are you pursuing it. For example, a PGDM from a top-ranked B-school is any day more valuable than an MBA from an average university, and vice-versa. Ideally, one should try to go for an MBA since it is more recognised than a PGDM.
