Dear,

There is a general difference between PGDM and MBA. PGDM is provided by an independent college affiliated to AICTE and not to any university. MBA is provided by those colleges which are affiliated to a university. For example, FMS in Delhi provides MBA because it is affiliated to Delhi University and IMT in Ghaziabad provides PGDM as it is an independent college without any affiliation.

Moreover, PGDM is a diploma while MBA is a degree. However, there is not much difference in the course curriculum between the two. Also, if a PGDM providing college is approved by AIU as well apart from AICTE accreditation, PGDM is considered to be equivalent to MBA.

PGP is the program, not the course. So all post graduate programs come under PGP. PGP ABM: Needs no work experience to apply for this too. It is a 2 year course. The first year is common with PGDM. The second year is specialized into ABM. The placements are different too. You mainly get food and agri based profiles here.

Hope this helps!
