The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Logistics and Supply Chain Management is a forward-looking undergraduate programme designed to develop skilled professionals equipped to lead in one of the most dynamic and vital sectors of the global economy. As businesses across the world—including India—navigate complex, technology-driven supply networks, this programme empowers students to become agile strategists and problem-solvers who can optimise logistics operations and drive innovation across value chains.
Spanning three years, the curriculum integrates core business principles with in-depth, industry-aligned expertise in logistics management, procurement, transportation, inventory control, warehousing, supply chain analytics, and strategic sourcing. The programme addresses both global best practices and the unique logistics challenges of India’s diverse and rapidly growing economy, including infrastructure constraints, last-mile delivery issues, and the impact of Digital India and Make in India initiatives.
Students learn to manage end-to-end supply chain functions across industries such as e-commerce, retail, automotive, manufacturing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and logistics service providers, with an emphasis on sustainability, resilience, and digital transformation. They gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies such as ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle), TMS (Transportation Management Systems), WMS (Warehouse Management Systems), and data analytics tools that are transforming global and Indian supply chain operations.
The pedagogical approach combines classroom learning with experiential activities, including live case studies, business simulations, faculty-led consulting projects, and internships with leading logistics firms and startups. Students also gain exposure to global trade regulations, customs procedures, and compliance frameworks, preparing them for cross-border logistics and global sourcing.
Graduates emerge with a strong foundation in analytical thinking, operations strategy, and data-driven decision-making, making them highly employable in roles such as logistics planner, supply chain analyst, procurement manager, inventory controller, and operations consultant. Whether working with multinational corporations, Indian SMEs, or fast-growing logistics tech startups, students are equipped to design and manage efficient, sustainable, and future-ready supply chains.

Programme Assessment
Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS): The university follows CBCS, which allows students to choose courses and earn credits based on their performance
Grades and GPA: Students are awarded grades for each course in a semester, and their Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated to measure their academic performance. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is used to evaluate the overall performance of a student across all semesters.
Prescribed Curriculum: Each program has a prescribed curriculum or Scheme of Teaching and Evaluation, which includes the required courses, laboratories, and other degree requirements. It also incorporates SWAYAM and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered by reputed institutions.
Auditing Courses: Students have the option to audit courses, which allows them to gain additional exposure without the pressure of obtaining a grade. This can give them an advantage in placements.
Evaluation System: The evaluation of students is comprehensive and continuous throughout the semester. It consists of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and Semester End Examination (SEE). CIE and SEE carry equal weightage of 50% each, resulting in a total evaluation of 100 marks for each course, regardless of its credit value.
Assessment Methods: Before each semester, faculty members may choose assessment methods such as assignments, seminars, quizzes, group discussions, case studies, practical activities, class presentations, industry reports, etc., with suitable weightage for each.
Semester End Examination: A Semester End Examination is conducted for all registered courses at the end of each semester. However, some courses that already have Continuous Internal Evaluation may not require a SEE.
Makeup Examinations: Students who fail the Semester End Examination in one or more courses are eligible for makeup examinations, which provide an opportunity to retake the failed exams and improve their grades.
