Banking, Financial Services and Insurance programmes designed with employers in the sector. Many begin with a provisional job offer and pay a stipend while you train.
BFSI stands for Banking, Financial Services and Insurance. It is one of India's largest employers of graduates, and it hires from every degree: arts, science, commerce and engineering alike.
Many banks, insurers and finance companies no longer wait for graduates to arrive job-ready. They select candidates first, then train them through a partner university or academy in exactly the products, systems and rules they will work with. You finish with a recognised qualification and a desk to go to.
We help you find the programme that matches your age, marks and career aim, and prepare you for its selection process.
You pay for a qualification first and find out later whether an employer wants it.
The employer chooses you before training starts. Fees are normally payable only after the provisional offer is in your hands.
University M.B.A., PG Diploma, Diploma and Certificate courses in BFSI are open too. See university qualifications
Each one hires for different work. Knowing which suits you makes the choice of programme much easier.
Private, public and small finance banks. Work centres on the branch and its customers: accounts, deposits, loans, cards and digital services.
Non-banking finance companies (NBFCs), housing and vehicle finance, microfinance, wealth and investment firms. Much of the work is lending and credit.
Life, health and general insurers. Roles combine advising customers, building an agent network and looking after policies and claims.
Employer-linked programmes run from two weeks to a full year. University qualifications follow the normal academic calendar.

Programme names, durations and roles differ by employer and institution and change between intakes. We confirm what is open now before you apply.
Choose an employer-linked programme if your priority is a job soon after graduation and you are happy to commit to one employer. Choose a university qualification if you want to keep your options open across employers, are outside the age band, or are aiming at specialist areas such as risk, investment banking or FinTech.

Listed for information only. Programme names belong to their respective banks, insurers and finance companies. Revamp Consultancy is not affiliated with, or a recruitment or admission agent of, any employer, academy or university named here. Intakes open and close through the year, so ask us which are accepting applications now.
Only the first phase is in a classroom. The rest of the year you are inside the employer's branches, and paid a stipend throughout. The split below is typical; some programmes run six months on campus and three in each of the other phases.
Residential study of banking products, regulation, customer service and selling, with case studies, e-learning and practice in a model branch that runs the same systems as a real one.
You are placed in a working branch to observe and shadow staff, with a faculty mentor checking in.
You do the real role with light targets, supported by your team and a senior colleague. Performance in this phase counts towards your confirmation.
Requirements for employer-linked programmes are set by the employer and are stricter than for a university course. These are the conditions you will meet most often.
University M.B.A., PG Diploma, Diploma and Certificate courses in BFSI have no employer-set age band and wider entry requirements. Diplomas and some certificates are open after 10+2.
If you are already working, a part-time or online qualification may fit better. See Online Programs and WILP Programs.
Six steps, in this order. The fourth is the one that sets these programmes apart.
An online form with your academic details. Some programmes charge a small application fee.
An online test, usually of aptitude, reasoning, numeracy and English.
A personal interview with the academy and the employer, looking at communication, attitude and fit for a customer-facing role.
The employer issues a provisional offer letter naming the role and pay. Your final appointment depends on completing the training.
You pay the fee or arrange a loan, then move through campus training, internship and on-the-job training.
On passing every phase you are confirmed as a full-time employee and receive your qualification.
Indicative figures for one-year, employer-linked banking programmes. Shorter programmes cost less.
These ranges are a guide drawn from programmes open in recent intakes. Fees, stipends and salaries are set by each employer and institution and are revised regularly. We confirm the exact figures for each programme before you apply.
Advertisements call these programmes "job assured". The letter you receive is a provisional offer, and it comes with conditions. Go through these six points with us, and with your family, before you accept.
Your appointment is confirmed only if you complete every phase, pass the assessments and meet attendance and conduct rules.
Internship, training and the final job can be anywhere in India, decided by the employer's needs. A posting near home is not promised.
Most entry roles are in sales and relationship management, with monthly targets. Make sure that suits you.
Usually the campus phase only. During internship and on-the-job training you meet your own rent and living costs from the stipend.
If you leave the programme early or are not confirmed, an education loan still has to be repaid. Ask for the refund and withdrawal policy in writing.
Check for a minimum service commitment, and the exact conditions attached to any fee refund or joining bonus.
Selection, offers, postings and confirmation are decided by the employer and the training institution alone. Revamp Consultancy guides and prepares you; we do not recruit for any employer and cannot guarantee a job.
You start in a branch or with customers. Strong performers move up quickly, and some programmes say trainees can be considered for branch manager within about five years.
There are many programmes, each with its own age band, fee and employer terms. We help you compare them honestly and apply to the ones you have a real chance with.
Our role is guidance. The employer and the institution take every selection and hiring decision.
No one can guarantee it, and we will not tell you otherwise. What you receive is a provisional offer from the employer before training begins. It becomes a confirmed job when you complete the programme and pass its assessments. The programmes are designed so that trainees who complete them join the employer, but the condition is real.
Yes. Employer-linked programmes accept graduates of any discipline, and the campus phase teaches banking from the basics. Engineers, science and arts graduates join every batch.
One-year programmes normally award a Post Graduate Diploma from the partner university. Shorter programmes give a certificate from the training academy. We tell you who awards the qualification for each programme, so you know exactly what will be on your certificate.
For many employer-linked programmes, no: they ask for a regular, full-time degree. Rules differ between employers, so let us check before you pay any application fee. University BFSI courses are generally open to you.
Most employer-linked entry programmes will be closed to you, but university M.B.A., PG Diploma and Certificate courses in BFSI have no such age band. If you already work in a bank, leadership and specialist programmes are designed for experienced staff.
Banks and lenders expect their own staff to have a sound repayment record. Missed EMIs or credit card dues can count against you. If you have never borrowed, that is normally acceptable.
You can usually state a preference, but the employer decides. Apply only if you are prepared to relocate for both the training and the job.
The one-year route brings a postgraduate diploma and an officer-grade start, at a higher fee. Short programmes cost less and get you earning within weeks, usually in a more junior role. We compare both against your goals and budget.
