A hire-and-train program flips the usual order: you get selected and receive a provisional offer letter, then you train, and finally you join the bank full-time.
How it works
Banks partner with an academy (usually Manipal Academy of BFSI) to run structured programs. You clear an assessment and interview, train for a few weeks to a year, often earn a stipend, and are absorbed as an employee.
Why it's low-risk
- The job is confirmed before you invest months of effort.
- Many programs pay a stipend during training.
- You earn a recognised diploma alongside the job.
Popular programs
HDFC Future Bankers 2.0, Axis Young Bankers, Kotak NextGen Bankers, IDFC Emerging Bankers and more. Talk to a counselor to find the right fit.
