FAQs — Warehouse & Logistics Executive (2026)
Short answers, real expectations: shifts, pay, placement support, and what you’ll actually do on the job.
Picker/Packer is a task-level role (picking items, packing, labeling). Warehouse Executive is broader — may handle inbound/outbound, scanning, documentation, inventory counts, and coordination with supervisors.
Commonly:
- Education: 10th/12th pass (some centres accept below 10th via entry routes)
- Age: ~16/17+ (varies by partner/employer)
- Basics: numeracy, scanning discipline, work-app comfort helps
- Readiness: standing/walking; night shifts are common in many warehouses
Use the page’s Eligibility check to shortlist quickly.
Not always — but basic English helps with scanner screens, item codes, labels, and workplace apps. Many jobs are doable with Hindi/local language + basic training.
In e-commerce hubs and large 3PL warehouses, night shifts are common. If you want day-only, options exist but can be fewer — especially during peak season.
A typical starting band is ₹14,000–22,000/month, depending on city, company, shift allowance, overtime, attendance/peak incentives, and role (inventory/dispatch may differ).
We avoid “guaranteed pay” claims — always confirm the offer letter and shift rules.
No. SkillKaJob and partners provide placement assistance (interviews, referrals, tie-ups), but no guaranteed job. Hiring depends on openings, your interview, shift readiness, and background checks.
- Aadhaar + PAN (commonly asked)
- Bank account details for salary
- Passport-size photos
- Education proof (10th/12th) if required
- Some employers may do police verification (varies by company)
WMS (Warehouse Management System) is the software that tracks stock location, picking tasks, inbound/outbound movement, and counts. Most entry-level courses cover WMS basics (task flow + scanning), not advanced ERP configuration.
Sometimes offered as an add-on in certain centres. Forklift work needs strict safety training and is role-specific. Never join unsafe training; ask about PPE, trainer qualification, and practical yard rules.
- Ask for course outline: scanning, inventory, dispatch docs, WMS basics
- Confirm practical training: mock warehouse/OJT tie-up
- Placement support: number of interviews + company list (no fake guarantees)
- Transparent fees + refund policy
