mms fees is decided by Shikshan Shulk Samiti whereas pg fees decided by aicte and college itself that's why there is huge difference in fees.
I will suggest to get admission for mms,its all time best and it is controlled by Govt.
Apply through cap. -
MMS is a Mumbai University program, and the degree will be awarded by the university, whereas PGDM is a fully autonomous program, which is conducted by Somaiya. While the difference isn't much, PGDM is more flexible and changes are made very quickly as per the changing demands of the industry. Placements for both PGDM and MMS are conducted together and there is no difference in the packages.
