Just to add some additional detail to the first answer, which is correct, a Prime Minister is part of a parliamentary system where the executive is elected out of the legislative branch. A President is a seperate executive official from the legislative branch.

President is head of state and prime Minister heads Government. President is above Prime Minister. In Parliamentary Democracies like India, President is titular head and real power is with Prime Minister. Many countries like Pakistan and Iran have peculiar constitutions not conforming to patterns of Presidential, Parliamentary or constitutional democracies practised in U.S.A., India or U.K.
