Let's be real: What are my job prospects after this course? Is there a placement guarantee?
No ethical institution can "guarantee" a job—your performance in interviews is what ultimately counts. However, we come very close with our dedicated placement assistance. Our goal is to make you so skilled and confident that top companies want to hire you. We have a dedicated placements team with strong ties to major MNCs and Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bangalore. The demand for skilled operations professionals is at an all-time high. We'll get your resume in front of the right people; you just have to show them what you've learned.
Okay, let's talk money. What's a realistic starting salary I can expect?
For a fresher entering an Investment Banking Operations role, a realistic starting package in a major city typically ranges from ₹5 Lakhs to ₹8 Lakhs per annum. This can vary based on the company, your interview performance, and your prior experience. Our comprehensive curriculum, especially the skills in Module 6 and 7, is designed to place you in a strong negotiating position.
Is "Operations" just a fancy word for a boring back-office job?
Think of IB Operations as the nerve center of a bank. While traders make the bets, Operations professionals ensure that multi-million dollar trades actually happen correctly and on time, preventing catastrophic risk. It’s a high-stakes, technology-driven field focused on problem-solving and process optimization. It offers excellent career stability and growth, forming the backbone of global finance.
I see a "Credit System" in the course structure. How does this work and why does it matter?
Great question. The credit system is a professional framework, much like in a top university, that gives structure and weight to your learning. Each module is assigned credits based on its depth and importance. To earn the Diploma in Investment Banking Operations, you need to successfully complete the required 35 credits. This system ensures a transparent, comprehensive, and high-quality educational experience that is respected by employers.
The curriculum covers everything from Financial Modelling to Power BI and even Canva. Why so broad?
Because the modern finance professional is not just a number-cruncher; they are a business storyteller. Excel, Financial Modelling (Module 6) teach you how to analyze data and find the "what." PowerPoint, Power BI, Canva, and AI tools (Module 6) teach you how to present your findings persuasively and tell the "so what." This unique combination of hard financial skills, modern tech skills, and soft skills (Module 7) makes you a "full-stack" finance professional and an incredibly valuable candidate for any top firm.
The Capstone Project is worth 10 credits. What is it, and is it a group project?
The Capstone Project is your grand finale! It’s an intensive project where you apply everything you've learned from all 7 preceding modules to solve a real-world business challenge. It’s your chance to build a powerful portfolio piece that you can proudly showcase to employers during interviews. It's a guided project with dedicated mentorship to ensure you create something truly impressive.
Module 5 shows two specializations. Do I have to choose one?
The Diploma in Investment Banking Operations (DIBO) is centered around Specialisation 1: Securities Operations. This is the core of your training, covering the trade lifecycle, collateral management, and settlements—the exact skills investment banks are hiring for. The second specialization is for other programs, but your path in DIBO is focused on mastering the critical operations that make you an asset to any global bank.
How am I graded in this course? What does the "Passing 50%" mean?
Your performance is assessed continuously through a mix of practical assignments, quizzes for each module, and your final Capstone Project. The 50% passing mark is a benchmark for each graded component. This isn't to create pressure, but to ensure that every student who graduates with our diploma has truly mastered the fundamental concepts and is 100% ready for the job.
Who is this course perfect for? Am I the right fit?
