Selection Process
As JAIIB is a certification programme, candidates do not undergo a recruitment interview or document-based job selection. Certification is determined through the following process:
- Online registration: Candidates must complete examination enrolment, choose the available cycle and pay the prescribed fee.
- Written examination: Applicants appear for the four prescribed papers covering Indian Economy and Indian Financial System, Principles and Practices of Banking, Accounting and Financial Management for Bankers, and Retail Banking and Wealth Management.
- Result and certification: Candidates must satisfy the paper-wise and aggregate passing requirements within the permitted number of attempts and time period to receive JAIIB certification.
Candidates generally need 50 marks out of 100 in each paper. A candidate may also be declared successful by securing at least 45 marks in every paper and an overall aggregate of 50 per cent in a single attempt, subject to the current IIBF rules.
