Functionally, both are equivalent for most recruiters. The key difference: PGDM institutes have more flexibility to update curriculum without university approval, often making them more industry-aligned. IIM programs are technically PGDM\/PGP \u2014 not an MBA degree \u2014 yet command the highest salaries.
