The full one-year regular programme is designed to provide the Indian banking and financial sector a pool of talented professionals with technology expertise to support their technology deployment initiatives.

"As more banks and payment banks are getting established and more and more banking functions are relying on technology, the need for banking technology skilled employees is increasing,’’ A S Ramasastri, Director, IDRBT, said in a release issued here on Monday.

The "high demand’’ for PGDBT students was reflected in the 100 per cent placements for all the students of the first batch by February 2017, i.e., even before the completion of their third term, in reputed national institutions, including National Payments Corporation of India, Bandhan Bank and IDBI Intech Ltd, he added.
