The only difference is that MBA/MMS is a university degree while PGDM is course offered by the institute. IIMs are not university affiliated and so they offer PGDM courses. Few colleges have both, MBA/MMS courses to offer. There is usually no difference in placements, curriculum and faculty whatsoever. The only thing that might trouble is that some foreign universities don't recognise PGDM unless the institute is AIU accredited. So it becomes difficult to pursue PhD. -
Hi,
Only universities can offer MBA in India. IIM cannot offer MBA as they are not affiliated with any university. Institutes, which are not affiliated to university are autonomous and can offer PGDM and these program should approved by regulatory bodies such as AICTE.
As far as industry is concerned, they recognized talent from the institutes. You can choose the university or institute according to factors like placement, course module, market value, alumni record, infrastructure, etc.
All the best.
