MMS admission is taken through CMAT exam through centralised process. But for PGDM students have to apply separately for each college.

If you are confident of scoring 270 – 260 plus in CMAT then dont apply to these PGDM programs as you might get MMS call. But I will recommend that apply to PG esp KJ Som n Welingkar as backup.

As most of the PG programs will give you call for GDPI at even 200 score. So your chances are still alive for making into top 4 colleges through PG.

MMS focuses more on theoretical aspects of management and is more exam-oriented. While PGDM has a focus on building soft skills and is industry-oriented like they can offer program in Retail, eMBA, Capital Markets.

MMS curriculum is 10 years old and students are not taught latest curriculum, PGDM gives students an industry exposure. in terms of fees, MMS is affordable as the fees is almost similar to university standard.

However, one should remember that it is not important whether a student pursues PGDM or MMS or MBA. The most important thing is the brand name of the college rather than the course offered.
