According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the logistics industry contributes between 13 and 14 per cent of national output and supports the livelihoods of more than 22 million people, with the same analysis projecting close to ten million additional jobs by 2027. The Indian logistics market was valued at close to 228 billion United States dollars in 2024 and is expected to grow further across the coming decade, while the National Logistics Policy of 2022 sets out to reduce logistics costs to single digits as a share of output by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The demand is reflected in graduate outcomes. The India Skills Report 2025, prepared by the Confederation of Indian Industry with Wheebox and the All India Council for Technical Education, found that management graduates lead every discipline in employability at 78 per cent, ahead of engineering at 71.5 per cent. The global multimodal transport market, which is central to the new course, is projected to grow at roughly six to seven per cent a year over the same period. Together these figures explain why operations, network planning and last-mile efficiency have become priorities for employers, and why graduates who understand them are sought after.<\/span><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-baot=\"1\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"306\" \/>\n<col width=\"426\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Indicator<\/td>\n<td>Figure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Logistics share of national output<\/td>\n<td>13 to 14 per cent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Livelihoods supported by logistics<\/td>\n<td>More than 22 million<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Projected new logistics jobs by 2027<\/td>\n<td>Approximately 10 million<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Logistics market value, 2024<\/td>\n<td>Close to 228 billion US dollars<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Management graduate employability<\/td>\n<td>78 per cent, highest of any discipline<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Projected multimodal transport growth<\/td>\n<td>6 to 7 per cent a year over the decade<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_the_JGBS_and_Chetak_Foundation_partnership_establish\"><\/span><b>What does the JGBS and Chetak Foundation partnership establish?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In June 2026, Jindal Global Business School signed a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tribuneindia.com\/news\/business\/jgbs-partners-with-the-chetak-foundation-to-launch-an-immersive-industry-course-in-transport-operations-2-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memorandum of Understanding with the Chetak Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the skill development arm of a New Delhi-based multimodal logistics group, to launch an immersive course in transport operations. The agreement is designed to place students inside the working environment of the sector rather than leaving logistics as an abstract subject. Under its terms, students receive structured access to live operations through internships, on-site visits and sessions led by senior supply chain professionals. The partnership also brings the group&#8217;s leadership to campus for guest sessions and establishes joint research between practitioners and faculty. In practice, the Memorandum turns an external industry relationship into a defined part of the academic calendar, with clear responsibilities for both the company and the business school.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_immersive_course_translate_into_classroom_learning\"><\/span><b>How does the immersive course translate into classroom learning?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The value of an arrangement of this kind lies in how it is delivered. Students visit warehouses, transport yards and freight hubs, which allows them to see how goods actually move and where operational cost is created. They then work on live problem statements drawn from the company&#8217;s operations, addressing network design, fleet utilization, warehousing efficiency and last-mile delivery. Because these problems are real rather than illustrative, the analysis has to account for constraints that a textbook case would simplify. Senior supply chain professionals mentor the students through this work, and the group&#8217;s leadership contributes guest sessions that place each task in a wider commercial context. This model of experiential learning, where instruction is paired with applied practice, is what allows an industry-integrated BBA programme in Delhi NCR to develop graduates who can contribute to operations quickly. Joint research between faculty and practitioners keeps the material current as the sector evolves.<\/span><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-baot=\"1\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"426\" \/>\n<col width=\"435\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Element<\/td>\n<td>What students do<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>On-site visits<\/td>\n<td>Observe operations at warehouses, transport yards and freight hubs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Live problem statements<\/td>\n<td>Tackle network design, fleet utilization, warehousing efficiency and last-mile delivery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Industry mentoring<\/td>\n<td>Guided by senior supply chain professionals<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Guest sessions<\/td>\n<td>Sessions led by the logistics group&#8217;s leadership<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Joint research<\/td>\n<td>Collaborative work between faculty and practitioners<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_this_mean_for_a_BBA_students_readiness\"><\/span><b>What does this mean for a BBA student&#8217;s readiness?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a prospective student, the practical outcome is a degree supported by a record of applied work rather than coursework alone. Live projects build a portfolio that can be shown to recruiters, on-site exposure develops judgement that is difficult to teach in a lecture, and mentoring creates an early professional network. These strengths sit on top of the wider Jindal Global Business School offering, where the BBA (Hons.) has been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/jgbs-symposium-best-bba-colleges-in-delhi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ranked first among 130 BBA programmes in India by Outlook-ICARE for three consecutive years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a record that features in any serious discussion of the best university for BBA in India. Supported by accreditation as a member of AACSB International and a faculty-to-student ratio of 1:9, the programme already competes among the top BBA colleges in India. For candidates shortlisting from the best BBA colleges in Delhi NCR, an embedded industry course of this kind is a concrete point of difference rather than a marketing claim.<\/span><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-baot=\"1\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"426\" \/>\n<col width=\"491\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Feature<\/td>\n<td>Detail<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Partnership<\/td>\n<td>JGBS and the Chetak Foundation, signed June 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Focus<\/td>\n<td>Immersive course in transport and multimodal logistics operations<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Host programme<\/td>\n<td>BBA (Hons.), four years, fully residential, eight semesters<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Programme ranking<\/td>\n<td>First among 130 BBA programmes, Outlook-ICARE 2023, 2024 and 2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Accreditation and status<\/td>\n<td>NAAC &#8216;A&#8217;; UGC autonomy; Institution of Eminence (2020); AACSB member<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Faculty-to-student ratio<\/td>\n<td>1:9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Global mobility<\/td>\n<td>Student Abroad Programme across seven partner countries<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_one_apply_for_the_2026_intake\"><\/span><b>How does one apply for the 2026 intake?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Admission to the programme is open to students who have completed Class XII, or an equivalent examination, from a board recognised by the Association of Indian Universities.
