Offering
Programme in Shipping and Logistics and Mapping it with NSDC
Meeting on 28th June 2024 | A Report
A special meeting with HoDs was convened on 28th June 2024, to discuss the modalities on offering the Diploma Course in Shipping and Logistics.
SCE already offers a diploma programme in Logistics. Considering J-Ark’s interest, they had initially prepared a proposal for a postgraduate diploma in Shipping and Logistics, along with a tentative curriculum.
However, during the meeting, the idea of a regular meeting gained traction. This would allow more students to enroll, compared to a postgraduate diploma which would be restricted to students who already have a bachelor’s degree. An additional benefit of the diploma course is the potential for placement opportunities for graduates.
