Hi, For admission various universities and B schools have already issued their admission notification. You can search online, a few days back i came across the notification of UPES dehradoon which has announced its UPESMET test dates for the MBA admissions. Its MBA Supply chain program is quite popular and last year the placement was also quite good for this branch. For MBA Supply Chain other than UPES you can look for Symbiosis, LPU, Amity etc. but UPES definitely comes on the top among all of these. You can check the details on official website of these bschools. You should keep a tab on the websites of bschools you are targeting for your MBA to apply for their GD/PIs of the basis of your MAT,CAT, XAT scores or apply for their individual tests.

Hi Shobha,
Logistics Management is a small portion of Supply Chain Management that deals with management of goods in an efficient way. Although, if we talk about Supply Chain Management, it is a broader term which refers to the connection, right from the suppliers to the ultimate consumer. People are quite puzzled between these two concepts.
Logistics Management- The process of integrating the movement and maintenance of goods in and out the organization is Logistics.
Supply Chain Management- The coordination and management of the supply chain activities are known as Supply Chain Management.
