ILAM-JIMS offers Ph.D. in Logistics and Supply Chain Management as a 3-year doctoral degree.

Expect to spend most of your time on operations planning, supply chain, logistics and quality management.

ILAM-JIMS is a private institute, founded in 2013. This page brings together what is on record for this course at ILAM-JIMS — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most Ph.D programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means operations planning, supply chain, logistics and quality management. Typical first jobs: operations, supply-chain or logistics roles.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask ILAM-JIMS for the current semester-wise plan.

ILAM-JIMS has not published a fee for Ph.D. in Logistics and Supply Chain Management on our record yet. When you ask, ask for the total across all 3 years — not just the first-year figure — and whether hostel and exam fees are included.

• Are you genuinely interested in operations planning? You will spend 3 years on it.
• What will the full course cost, including hostel and living costs?
• What do recent graduates of this course actually go on to do?
• How does ILAM-JIMS compare with other colleges offering Ph.D?
