Logistics & Supply Chain Management

Hi,
Supply chain professionals considering a certification face a bewildering array of options. There are multiple organisations and certifications from which to choose.
While acquiring a certification can have a significant effect on your career trajectory, it is a process that requires a considerable outlay of time and money. Door individuals in the early stages of their career, it can be difficult to make an informed choice. To help this decision easier, I'd suggest a set of certifications which are in fact worth pursuing. Whatever certification you choose, you should first make sure it is as widely recognised as possible.
The following are the three well known and reputable certifications:
The Centre Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) and certificate in production and inventory management (CPIM) offered by the Association of Operations Management (APICS)
The Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) from the institute for supply management (ISM)
The SCPro from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP)

There are very few colleges in India which offer MBA in operations and supply chain. Being an engineer myself who decided to pursue PGDM in operations and supply chain management from SP Jain Institute of Management and Research. I can strongly correlate with your dilemma and can assure you that pursuing PGDM from SPJIMR could be one of the best decisions of your career.
SPJIMR strongly focuses on case-based learning. Apart from academics, there is a strong inclination towards non-classroom initiatives that are intended towards helping people at the bottom of the pyramid.
In terms of placement, there is a huge demand of people from operations and supply chain management in various industries like FMCG, Consulting, etc. who come at SPJIMR every year offering various different roles in different industries.

These are some of the best colleges which offer quality education in MBA operations. Operations are mostly chosen by engineering graduates. Some will come and join these colleges immediately after graduation. Some will join after gaining some experience after engineering graduation. These experienced people who study in these campuses will get a good salary package at the end of this course. So, I suggest you to take up any of these colleges for MBA supply chain.

MBA in operation and supply chain management will help engineering students for no doubt. The job opportunities are very vast and large number of companies hire candidates with this qualifications.
Operation as whole, depends on how they manage the whole production of the company with efficiency and supply chain management, related to how the movement of goods and services take place inside a company.
The engineering students, even after completing their B.Tech or BE course will go for production or R&D functions in an organization. For better salary, doing MBA in operation and SCM will benefit the student in a better way. The salary ranges from 11 lakhs on an average, which is very good as compared to HR and finance.
So, I suggest you to take operations and SCM as specialization while doing your MBA.

Supply chain management is the field in which one has to deal with procurement, transportation, inventory, logistics, production, manufacturing science, etc. All these fields are required for the Supply chain professional to be more accurate and efficient with these parts of whole Supply chain. In this field, you have the option for becoming a Supply chain analyst, Supply chain manager, logistics manager, warehouse manager, etc. The starting salary package in India ranges from profile to profile and company to company with minimum package being 4 lakhs per annum to 10 lakhs per annum in the beginning.
Whereas, talking about agribusiness management, you will be dealing with fields related to agriculture and support tools like fertilizer, pesticides management and their manufacturing of these products. You will be required to create Marketing and other operations to these companies to make agriculture more efficient to the area required. So, both the fields are different with different career and growth prospects available.
