Why Malappuram 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 Malappuram town, Manjeri, Perinthalmanna, Tirur, Ponnani, Nilambur and Kottakkal have all made this move; the journey is three to four hours by train from Tirur, Kuttippuram or Shoranur to Aluva; most students stay near the campus during the week.

Malappuram has its own logistics economy – the Gulf remittance economy that funds a large share of Kerala’s imports, Ponnani port and the district’s timber, food and consumer-goods distribution – and those employers need trained operations staff too. Kochi adds volume, which is where a fresher gets the first job fastest; moving back to Malappuram 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.
