Students are advised to prepare duplicate copy for themselves, before submission. The internship report prepared by students will be kept in the department as confidential for academic and research purpose.
The internship work of the student will be evaluated (individually for each student) by a panel of jury members comprising of internal faculty and industry members. Industry internship is an independent subject and the marks obtained for the same will be added to the subsequent semester. Therefore, any student who successfully clears 'industry internship' would not have to repeat the subject, irrespective of whether he/she passes or fails the subsequent semester.
Manual for Industrial Visit/Study Tours
Industrial visits are arranged in all the odd semesters of the curriculum to equip the students to understand the various field activities pertaining to their area of specialization. Industrial visits may include visiting any industries/design houses related to fashion industry, attending trade fairs, clusters etc. The students should be able to explore and observe the various activities of the industry without, affecting their day to day work.
12 KERALA GAZETTE [PART IIIThe students should be taken in groups which can be accommodated in the industry at a time and should be accompanied by at least one faculty to relate the class room with the actual practice. The students should behave in a disciplined way, to a degree higher than they do in the campus considering the work environment.
The students are supposed to observe the area of focus thoroughly and have to record on the processes. On returning back from the industry, the students have to document on the visits and need to share and discuss about the thoughts and ideas about the visit. The attendance of the students on the visit should be made compulsory.
The above Regulations were laid before the Senate held on 16th July 2015 for consideration and adoption as envisaged under section 39(1) of the Kerala University Act, 1974 and the House considered and unanimously adopted the same.

Regulations Relating To Post Graduate Diploma in Logistics and
Supply Chain Management (PGDLSCM) Course
The Academic Council at its meeting held on 19th May 2015 resolved to approve the Regulations relating to Post Graduate Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (PGDLSCM) Course.
Introduction
Economic growth in India goes in tandem with industrial growth. Logistics Sector is one of the recently attention drawing and crucial sectors that support almost all industrial activity. Notwithstanding its importance and all pervasive presence, it has not been given its due nor accorded the attention it deserves as a separate sector in itself. The level of inefficiency in logistics activities in the country has been very high across all trades and has taken its toll everywhere. To bring efficiency and quality improvement in logistics operations it is imperative to develop the capabilities of logistics service providers. With logistics being a service oriented sector, skill development will be a key requisite. There is a significant gap in the demand and availability of quality manpower in the logistics sector due to the lack of focus on developing manpower and skills -for the Sector. This gap, unless addressed urgently, is likely to be a stumbling block on the path of progress of the logistics and service sectors in India and in consequence, could impact unenthusiastically the growth in industry and manufacturing sectors. This underscores the need for more educational institutions, in tie-up with industries and authorized certifying bodies, to create opportunities for the unemployed to be skill-trained and equipped with appropriate certification to meet the growing demand for quality manpower in the sector.
24 KERALA GAZETTE [PART IIIJustification of the course
1. The logistics industry, which has recently witnessed a rapid boom in India, is fast catching on as a major contender to the current heavy weights in industry such as Metal and Mining, IT. and BM.
2. The backbone of reliable shipping and trade processes, Shipping and Logistics Management, as a career, has huge scope in domestic as well as international job markets.
3. Logistics is the management of the flow of resources, not only goods, between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet the requirements of customers or corporations.
4. Logistics involves the integration of information, transportations, inventory, warehousing, material handling, packaging and often security. Today the complexity of production logistics can be modified, analyzed, visualized and optimized by plant simulation software.
5. Moulds human resource required by the upwardly mobile shipping companies, agency houses, shipping ports, clearing and forwarding, and export/import firms.
6. Growing demand for manpower to enhance better and speedier logistics services.
7. Promoting professionalism and innovations in the various sectors of the Logistics Industry.
8. There is lack of trained/qualified manpower to meet the increasing demand for providing expert services.
9. On successful completion of the PGDLSCM programme the candidate will be eligible for employment in the Industry as executives in administration at senior and middle levels.
Duration: One year
Eligibility: Graduation in any discipline from the University of Kerala or from any other Universities approved as equivalent by the University of Kerala.
