More and more graduates are joining this field and even in these times of economic slowdown, banking industry in India is growing. Thus, a demand for banking and finance courses has also increased accordingly. Both private and government institutes in India offer regular and correspondence courses in banking and finance to students.
A banking course trains an individual in various skills. Need less to say that commerce and economics graduates are better suited to pursue such a course. The curriculum o f such a course includes planning, funding operations, man-management, resource management, managing of loans and profit generation. It is different from an accounting course though some fields overlap in both the courses. The curriculum of a banking course is designed as per the demands of the industry. The subjects included are strategic planning, international finance, operations management, micro and development finance, marketing and information technology. The basic course would include an overview of the subjects while a specialized course would deal in one of the many fields of banking.
Once an individual completes the banking course, he can look to get a job in a bank as a middle level executive officer. After the banking course, one is expected to know about monetary control, foreign exchange, currency values, treasury management and other related fields of study. Of course, the practical knowledge comes only with working more in the field.
If one opts for a diploma course through correspondence, one could also be doing a postgraduate degree course or working in the sector simultaneously. For a postgraduate diploma course in banking, one needs to hold a Bachelors degree from a recognized university. It is only after the completion of the degree that one can apply for correspondence PG diploma courses in banking and finance institutes. However, the actual admission process and selection varies from one institute to another. All institutes have different criteria of selecting students. Thus, it is advisable to contact the individual institutes or visit their websites to find out the actual criteria
