Hi All,
As admission notification and prospectus for PGPBF 2010-2012 is out on NIBM website. I received requests from current batch students to start a new thread. So here we are
Before you barge on to this thread :-

1. In continuation to past practices this will be the single thread for all kind of discussions on NIMB as post churning is usually manageable on NIBM thread. So please avoid, separate GD/PI threads, tips,gyan, life at NIBm etc.
2. Following threads are the two most popular threads from past years and should be of some use for extra inquisitive souls.
   NIBM thread from Feb, 2008 to Sep, 2009 (NIBM (All in one thread))
   
   NIBM thread till Feb 2008 (Nibm Seniors Out There)
   
   
3. Reading the previous thread is not at all mandatory and feel free to shoot all kind of queries, right from "Is NIBM in India ?"

Btw, this will be the first case of NIBM having two batches together(as for being one year course no two batches were together before), and hence I expect the current batch to be more participative and use this thread as a platform to share their observations and build rapport with junior batch.

With Regards,
ANdy
PGPBF
2006-07 batch

Hi..

NIBM started this post graduate programme in banking and finance in 2003..since its inception it was a one year programme..but from 2009-11 batch it has switched to a two year format..so 2010-12 would be a second two year programme batch(though this would be the 8 batch of PGPBF)...

CUT OFF FOR 2009-11 BATCH :: 81%ILE

Is there any sectional cutoff? How much importance does it give to profile of candidate,apart frm CAT score & GD/PI? I have 49% in 12th(though 70 in 10th and 65 in BBA),can I be rejected jus on basis of 12th marks?
Thanks,in advance.

No Sectional cut-offs till now and with computer based test this time, chances of it being applied this year are too grim.
No official comment on weightages in GD/PI as such and I would say its a bit subjective as sometime it can be a one man panel and he certainly can carry personal bias (impression) both positive and negative on some aspects.
Well on low marks in 12th, its just something you need to prove is "past" now.

Not all Public sector banks have same criteria and many give relaxation on age/academics front, but yes age between 21 to 27 and all marks above 60% could be taken as hygiene factor. But this is certainly not mandatory for all banks.

No financial knowledge is required other than "Difference between simple and compound interest" for PI, but yes if interested keep an eye on economic times/business standard editorials as they will turn out to be of lot help for CAT RCs too.

Btw, where are your immediate seniors?
