Your degree subject does not matter
This is the question the office is asked most often. A BA, BCom, BSc, BBA, BCA or an engineering degree are all accepted for the PG Diploma, and students from all of those backgrounds are placed into the same roles. Logistics is an operations field. What employers test is whether you can handle documents accurately, talk to customers and carriers, and use the software. None of that is owned by one degree.
If you have just finished plus two
You do not have to wait for a degree. The Diploma is built for plus two students and covers the same operational ground. Many students take the Diploma, start working, and add the PG Diploma later once they know which part of the field they like.
Do you need maths or English?
No entrance exam and no maths requirement. English matters, because coordination roles are phone and email jobs, but the programme includes communication training precisely because most students arrive needing it. That is treated as part of the course, not as a filter at the door.
Age and work experience
There is no age bar. Batches usually mix fresh graduates with people who have worked for a few years and want to move into logistics or move up inside it. Working people more often take the certificate route.
What you need to bring to admission
