Logistics courses after a degree in Kerala

Quick answer: Laurus Institute’s one-year PG Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management with SAP is the job-oriented course most graduates in Kerala take when they want an operations career rather than another degree. Any degree is accepted, there is no entrance exam, certificates come from Medhavi Skills University, STED Council and NSDC plus an SAP certificate, and placement support runs until you are placed. Fees and batch dates are quoted on enquiry: call 0484 4023484 or WhatsApp us.

This page is for graduates of any stream – B.Com, BBA, BA, B.Sc, B.Tech, BCA – and final-year students.

Why graduates choose a one-year logistics course

A B.Com, BBA, BA or B.Sc opens many doors but rarely a specific desk. Employers in Kochi’s freight, port, warehouse and supply-chain companies hire people who already know the documents, the software and the vocabulary of the job. A one-year PG Diploma gives a graduate exactly that, plus SAP – the system a large share of those companies run on – and the interview practice to get through the door. Compared with a two-year MBA, it is faster and aimed at a first job; compared with a short computer course, it leads to a defined career path from operations executive to coordinator, supervisor and manager.

Which degrees are accepted

Any degree: commerce (B.Com, BBA), arts (BA in any subject), science (B.Sc), engineering (B.Tech), computer applications (BCA) and others. Final-year students can apply and join on completion. Arts and science graduates are placed into the same roles as commerce graduates; the course starts from the basics. Graduates who also want a university MBA can take the MBA + PG Diploma + SAP route.

What the PG Diploma covers

• Freight forwarding – air and sea export–import, booking, bills of lading, incoterms
• Warehousing and inventory – receiving, put-away, picking, stock control, WMS basics
• Customs documentation – shipping bills, bill of entry, HS codes, clearance flow
• Shipping and port operations – container flow, CFS, ICD, port procedures at Cochin Port
• Transport planning – route, fleet and last-mile planning; e-commerce logistics
• SAP MM (Materials Management) – hands-on in the lab: purchase orders, goods receipt, inventory and vendor management
• Excel and ERP for logistics – MIS reports, tracking sheets
• Communication and interviews – spoken English for the desk, mock interviews, CV building

SAP is included in the fee and taught in the lab; practical exposure comes through the group’s own logistics operations and industrial visits.

Jobs after the course

Graduates are placed into freight forwarding operations, logistics coordinator, dispatch coordinator, warehouse supervisor, hub in-charge, supply chain analyst, documentation executive and inside sales coordinator. Freight forwarding operations is the most common first role.

Salary depends on the employer and role; a counsellor gives current figures. More on jobs after a logistics course.
