Workshop on "Opportunities and Preparation for the Banking Sector” at JIMS

Jagan Institute of Management Studies organized a workshop on the topic “Opportunities and Preparation for the Banking Sector” for its PGDM Batch 2012-2014 students on December 3, 2013.

The key speaker for the session was Mr. Amit Khurana, Chairman, Professional School of Indian Banking.

Mr Amit Khurana started the session with the history, evolution and growth of the banking sector in India. Further he highlighted the role of Information Technology in the Indian Banking System.

He quoted “The IT revolution has had a great impact on the Indian banking system. The use of computers has led to the introduction of online banking in India. Pre-Liberalization Indian banks were finding it difficult to compete with the international banks in terms of customer service, without the use of information technology.”

Banks are looking for good communication skills, good interpersonal skills, and the ability to deal with customers, an alert nature, and basic knowledge of the industry. However to join foreign or private sector banks at higher than entry level one needs specialization in some specific areas. MBAs recruited by private and foreign banks are given plum packages to the extent of about Rs 25000-30000 a month.

The session was highly informative and was very appreciated by the students.
