The MoU will provide PGDM students with industry-led learning, corporate mentorship, internships and placement opportunities.

Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management (VJIM), Hyderabad, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) – Institute of Logistics to strengthen industry-oriented learning and career opportunities for its Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) students.

The partnership aims to integrate industry expertise, practical training and corporate engagement into VJIM’s PGDM programme, preparing students for careers in India’s logistics and supply chain sector.

Under the MoU, CII Institute of Logistics will facilitate industry-led classroom sessions, interactions with professionals, corporate mentorship, industrial visits, internships and placement support. Students will gain exposure to procurement, inventory optimisation, transportation management, demand forecasting and digital supply chain systems, including the application of artificial intelligence and automation in logistics.

The collaboration will also provide students with opportunities to understand industry practices and explore career pathways across logistics companies, e-commerce, manufacturing, retail, consulting and Global Capability Centres (GCCs).

Dr. Bharat Bhushan Singh, Director, VJIM, said the partnership would bring industry expertise and real-world business challenges into the learning process, helping students develop the practical skills and professional competencies required by employers.

Mr. R. Dinesh, Chairman, CII Institute of Logistics, said the collaboration aimed to strengthen industry-academia engagement and develop management professionals capable of addressing emerging supply chain challenges.

The MoU also seeks to align student development initiatives with changing industry requirements, particularly in digitalisation, sustainability and integrated supply chain management. The partnership is part of VJIM’s efforts to strengthen industry-relevant management education and improve graduate employability.

“Most schools never consciously chose their basic unit. They inherited one from the past: the class. With the class as the focus, the things that happen between people get squeezed out: the apprentice learning alongside someone skilled, the child taught where they are rather than where the class is, and the daily practice of getting along with people they did not choose. The most promising new schools are organising themselves around the individual child rather than the class. A better approach is to group children by readiness in each subject and change those groups as they progress. Communication, collaboration and handling disagreement need daily practice. In a school built around individual progress, teachers get time back to observe, diagnose, mentor and step in where they are most needed. Most teachers entered the profession to make a difference to children. Many spend their careers managing classes instead. The best new schools offer them a system that finally lets them do the work they signed up for.”

“Government medical college seats are 100% filled, vacancies are confined entirely to the private sector. Colleges and state fee-fixation committees must re-examine these fee structures, because lowering NEET qualifying cut-offs will not resolve an affordability crisis when millions of candidates already qualify. The vacancies are an indicator that qualifying for medical admission does not necessarily mean students could afford a seat. Institutions charge full fees to early applicants and offer discounts to late entrants to fill the vacant seats. It reflects a purely commercial approach that compromises merit while still failing to fill classrooms. High management-quota fees are putting seats beyond the reach of many candidates. Some 24 lakh students write the entrance test for 1.4 lakh seats. While the cream gets government seats, the rest of the students cannot afford a management-quota seat.”
