Why Kottayam students study in Kochi

Kochi is where Kerala’s logistics employers are concentrated: Cochin Port and the Vallarpadam container terminal, the airport cargo complex, the Kalamassery and Kakkanad warehouse belt, and the freight-forwarding, shipping-agency and courier companies that hire operations staff every month. Studying inside that belt means practical sessions in the group’s own logistics operations and interviews with the companies that actually hire. Students from Kottayam town, Changanassery, Pala, Ettumanoor, Vaikom and Kanjirappally have all made this move; the journey is about an hour and a half by train or bus from Kottayam to Ernakulam; daily commuting is common.

Kottayam has its own logistics economy – the rubber and spice trade, the Kottayam–Kochi road corridor and the publishing and paper industry – and those employers need trained operations staff too. Kochi adds volume, which is where a fresher gets the first job fastest; moving back to Kottayam as a coordinator or supervisor after a year of experience is a normal path.

Which course, and what it leads to

The one-year PG Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management with SAP is for graduates of any stream. The Diploma with SAP is for plus two students. Both carry certificates from Medhavi Skills University, STED Council and NSDC plus a separate SAP certificate, and both lead to the same operations desks: freight forwarding operations, logistics coordinator, dispatch coordinator, warehouse supervisor, hub in-charge, documentation executive and supply chain analyst. Employers who have hired Laurus students include Flipkart, XpressBees, CUMI, TVS, Hyatt Regency, DMX Logistics and Jayem Express Cargo. Laurus offers placement support, not a guaranteed job.
