Most UGD 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 Virohan for the current semester-wise plan.
