Besides covering important foundation and core modules in banking and financial services in the first two semesters, it provides an opportunity to specialize in one of these two areas in the third term. This program is unique in both its content as well as its methodology and the contents are distilled from the real-life experience of practicing finance professionals.
Graduates in any discipline with 50% marks andless than 26 years of age, are eligible to apply for this program. Candidates in the final year of graduation can also apply. Candidates for the program are selected on the basis of an aptitude test and personal interview.
