For the first time ever, young professionals and students will have the Opportunity to enter the Premium Banking and Non-Banking Firms through the available new-age career programs, aligned to the evolving needs of the knowledge economy.

The banking sector may create up to 20 lakh new jobs in the next 5-10 years, supported by issuance of new licenses and efforts being made by the RBI and the Government to expand financial services into rural areas, according to experts. As per the discussion with major Private Banks, BANKEDGE – India’s Leading Banking Training Service provider forecasts  that banking sector will generate 7-10 lakh jobs in the coming decade and the sector would be the among top job creators in 2017-18.

Besides direct hiring, expansion in banking sector also helps in huge job creation in various support areas, BANKEDGE predicts.

“The hiring scenario in the banking sector is extremely positive this year and is likely to be 80,000 to one lakh jobs, which is 25-30 per cent more than last year,” BANKEDGE, CEO, Santosh Joshi said. This sudden in hiring is mainly on account of both PSU and private lenders becoming bullish on branch and portfolio expansion, besides retirement and attrition factors. The Reserve Bank of India, on the other hand, has announced about giving license to new banks to operate by the end of FY 2016-17.

Another major reason behind hiring is the PSU banks adding more than 8,000 branches in the current fiscal year, also private banks, rural banks and foreign banks are expanding their own branch network that will boost job opportunities in banking sector.

“With new banks being set up in Tier 2, 3 and 4 cities, there will be growing demand for business correspondents, sales executives and other banking professionals to reach out to the rural population. In the months to come, we expect to see higher hiring momentum in tier 2 and 3 cities to begin with. Most of our partner banks have seen their per employee productivity going up and attrition coming down through a conscious effort of hiring from tier 2 and 3 towns. New banks will require staff for branches, as well as for functions such as operations, IT, risk management, compliance, among others. Existing banks will specifically need candidates in the client-facing and client-servicing roles. The new licensees will hire people with banking expertise for key positions, thereby triggering a revival in recruitment for banking” Mr. Joshi said.
