The syllabi for the Examination cover almost all the theoretical and practical aspects of banking that a banker comes across in his or her day-to-day work. The Institute modifies/updates the syllabi of the Examination from time to time keeping in view the new changes/developments in the banking arena in its domestic as well as international perspective so that the syllabi can cater to the practical requirements of bankers.

An official of the central bank said that employees, who had completed the banking diploma from IBB, were not getting their due treatment when it came to promotions.

Even though the diploma gave them some additional banking knowledge, their knowledge was not helping them to gain professionally and thus, demoralised many bankers to pursue the knowledge, the official said.

As per the BB circular, banks were asked to allocate a certain number for the banking diploma first part and second part for the promotion of its employees from the officer post or equivalent positions to the position of general manager or equivalent posts.

The allocated number for the banking diploma second part must not be less than the marks allocated for the banking diploma first part.

However, the requirement can be relaxed for technical posts like information technology officers, doctors, engineers and legal officers along with the officers working in the cash section.

The banks were instructed to revise the relevant rules on their respective boards.

The instruction was issued under Section 45 of the Bank Company Act, 1991, with immediate effect.
