About the Programme

The Postgraduate Diploma in Banking and Finance (PGDBF) is a one-year, career-focused programme designed to fast-track your entry into the dynamic banking and financial services sector. Offered in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Banking & Finance (IIBF), it blends academic rigor with professional standards, giving you a competitive edge in the job market. Whether you are a fresh graduate or an aspiring banking and finance professional, this programme equips you with the expertise needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving industry.

On successful completion of KJU exams and assessments, students receive a Post Graduate Diploma in Banking and Finance from KJU. On successful completion of the online exams of the four courses specified by IIBF, students receive a Diploma in Banking and Finance from IIBF — so each student can gain two diplomas. Those who qualify for DBF from IIBF and join a bank can request IIBF to convert the DBF into JAIIB qualification, which is mandatory for promotions and progression in a banking career. Training is provided to clear both PGDBF and DBF.
