There is no difference actually between the two. From this onwards, IIMs have started giving an MBA degree. Previously, IIMs were also providing with the PGDM degree. -

Hello!
An MBA offers more technical and business related information while PGDM offers a more practical approach. Both are equally good; what matters more is from which college you are pursuing them. For example, a PGDM from an IIM is any day more valuable than an MBA from an average college. -
PGDM expands as Post graduate Diploma in management. MBA is offered by the institutes which are affiliated to a particular university like FMS, Delhi, PUMBA, Pune etc. Whereas PGDM is offered by autonoums institutes. In MBA the curriculum is decided by the university whereas in PGDM the institutes can introduce elemental changes in the curriculum. MBA offers more technical and business related knowledge whereas PGDM offers more practical approach. Also MBA is a bit affordable than PGDM. Both the programmes are good, what depends is the institute you desire to get admitted in and the amount of money you are going to spend.
