Excellence in Action
Banks, as financial intermediaries act as catalysts for economic growth. the success of bank no doubt, depends upon efficiency of human resources. as such, injecting professionalism into the organizational setup of banks was pronounced as one of the major objectives of the first phase of nationalization of banks in India in 1969. but the objectives could not be fulfilled in toto even after three decades of nationalization. One of the important reasons for this problem was the inability of banks to identify rights persons with specialized knowledge in the field of banking for recruitment at various levels. Academic institutions, the main supplier of personnel, confined themselves to exposing learners on traditional and legal aspects of banking in their curriculum; specialized courses in banking enabling the students to acquire knowledge about contemporary banking were lacking. In this background the Department of Banking Management was establishment in Alagappa University, Karaikudi in 1989.
Discipline, Perfection and Dynamism are the watch words of the Department. Learners are fine –turned to face challenges of the ever growing financial sector through hands on experience duly supported by the needed theoretical edifice. The distinguished track record of the Alumni speaks for the academic credentials of the department.
Paves way for excellence in banking & insurance education and research through.
The Department offered a Post –Graduate program in Banking Management titled as Master of Banking Management (MBM) till 2004-2005. In turn with the environmental changes, from the academic year 2005-2006 the Department offers a unique 4 semester MBA programme in banking and insurance.
