Pune :  As per the McKinsey report ‘India Banking 2010’, it is projected that the sector has the potential to account for over 7.7 per cent of GDP with over Rs.7,500 billion in market cap, and to provide over 1.5 million jobs.

Students who were looking at Banking Management as their professional stream for the future have had their prayers answered! Education leader, Symbiosis International University has established a new institute: Symbiosis School of Banking Management (SSBM)

From the era of nationalization and priority sector lending to the era where technology enabled, customer focused financial conglomerates operate in multiple segments of the financial sector, Banking in India has come a long way. Facilitating the aspirations of students and the banking sector’s need for new-age professionals, SSBM aims to create Banking Management professionals with the specialized skills to meet the emerging challenges of the banking & finance industry, and exploit the exciting opportunities of this high-growth sector.

Symbiosis has always been proactive in understanding the needs of the market and providing trained manpower thus contributing to the growth and development of the country. SSMB is a step in the same direction towards these goals.

The institute offers a Master of Business Administration (Banking Management) which is a two-year, residential programme. Project work of about 8 to 10 weeks duration on a real life situation in an organization, after the completion of first year, would form an integral part of the Programme. In addition, one project of social relevance and one specialized project in banking and finance are mandatory which is to be completed during the Programme. To be a part of the programme at SSBM, it is mandatory to clear SNAP 2010 which is being held across India on the 19th of December.
