Post-Graduate Programme in Banking and Finance (PGPBF) : NIBM has been successfully conducting PGPBF since 2003-04. The two-year PGPBF is designed as a contemporary, rigorous, innovative and practical source of management education. The Programme is pitched to provide to the financial system, on a regular basis, a pool of talented youngsters thoroughly trained and fully prepared with Analytical Skills and Perspectives in Banking and Finance for directly taking up managerial responsibilities. Going by the consistent 100 per cent placement record of the students in major public sector, new generation private sector and foreign banks and extremely positive feedback from the banking and financial services community on the performance of Dr K C Chakrabarty, Dy. Governor, RBI, Addressing the PGPBF Class PGPBF students, the Institute is planning to augment the in-take of students to 240 in the medium-term and to 480 in the long-term. With this in mind, the Institute has embarked on a massive infrastructure development plan for PGPBF Learning Complex, Hostel Complex and Dining Hall within its campus. 2. Fellowship Programme : Historically, the Doctoral Programme was one of the major activities of the Institute, initiated almost immediately after its inception, with the objectives of (i) expanding the manpower base for research studies in banking and related areas, (ii) fulfilling the educational responsibility of the Institute, and (iii) creating a pool of competent and well-trained researchers as a source for future faculty for the Institute (and society at large). Institute has been inducting Research Associates in the NIBM Fellowship Programme from 2009-10. Currently there are 6 Research Associates pursuing the Fellowship Programme of the Institute. The Fellowship will normally be for a total period of 3 years during which students are expected to work on their fellowship dissertation and also provide assistance to NIBM Faculty in PGPBF teaching. 4
(d) Consultancy Providing consultancy support to banks and financial institutions has always been one of the key strengths of the Institute. The focus of our consultancy activities has evolved over time : during the 70s and 80s, the focus was more on providing support in Organizational Design and Development, Design and Implementation of MIS, Manpower Planning, etc. During the early 90s we have been focusing more on Design and Development of Computerized MIS, Merchant Banking and Financial Services, Training Strategies, Strategies for Improving the Profitability and Productivity of commercial banks, etc. With the introduction of the financial sector reforms at the initiative of the RBI and the Government of India in the early 90s, there were increasing demands from commercial banks to assist them in Strategic Business Repositioning, Organizational Restructuring, Human Resource Development, Profitability and Productivity Strategies, etc. Towards the end of the 90s, the NIBM took the lead in assisting the banks and financial institutions in setting up their Integrated Risk Management System, Asset-Liability Management System, Managing Market Risk, Credit Risk Management System Design, etc. The ALM package in Oracle platform, Investment Management DSS, Credit Rating for Large Corporate and SMEs developed by NIBM faculty are popular in banks. The Institute has also successfully handled the HR issues in the recent merger of various banks. Presently the focus of the consulting activities is more on IRM, designing ICAAP, Organizational Restructuring, Manpower Planning, Customer Relationship Management, Customer Service, etc. (e) Publications The Institute, since its inception in 1969, has been bringing out a variety of publications in the form of books, journals, reports, mimeographs and working papers in tandem with its research and training functions. Apart from over 100 books, a major segment of the publications consisted of the 14 Programmed Learning Texts on operational banking published in the initial years of the NIBM, specifically to meet the training needs of the new entrants into the banking industry due to its geographic expansion in the 70s.
