• The Institute would shortlist the candidates for Group Discussion and Personal Interview (GDPI) based on their GATE / CAT / GMAT / GRE / CMAT / XAT / MAT / ATMA scores. Thereafter, the actual selection for admission is based on the scores of the candidates in the GDPI.

Sponsored/Direct Candidates from Banks and Financial Institutions
Banks and Financial Institutions can sponsor their employees for the Post Graduate Diploma in Banking Technology (PGDBT). Employees of Banks and Financial Institutions may also apply directly for the PGDBT. Candidates in both these categories too must hold a first class (minimum of 60% marks) Bachelor's Degree in Engineering OR a first class Master's degree in any subject with a minimum of 10+2+4 years of formal education but need not have GATE / CAT / GMAT / GRE / CMAT / XAT / MAT / ATMA scores.

However, such candidates need to participate in Group Discussion and Personal Interview (GDPI) and the selection for admission is based on the scores of the candidates in the GDPI.

Sponsoring Banks and Financial Institutions / Employees of Banks and Financial Institutions may please note that the PGDBT is a full-time programme and accordingly, selected candidates would need to be relieved from their duties / granted leave, during the entire duration of the programme, i.e., one year. Employees of Banks and Financial Institutions who have directly applied would also need to submit a no-objection certificate from their Bank / Financial Institution to pursue the PGDBT.

All educational qualifications must have been obtained from recognised universities/institutions in India or abroad. If grades are awarded instead of marks, candidates should clearly indicate their numerical equivalent.
