REVISED SCHEME OF NEW JAIIB & DB&F SYLLABUS, EXAM PATTERN & CREDITS 2024

This post is on the JAIIB Revised exam pattern, credits & JAIIB/DB&F New Syllabus for May 2024 exams onwards.

Hey Bankers!

Have you heard the murmur of changes done by IIBF?

If not, then I will explain all about those changes that are going to be applicable from May 2024 onward attempts of Junior Associate of the Indian Institute of Bankers. 

So, to whom does this article concern?

Those who are going to write the JAIIB & DB&F Exams in May 2024 or afterwards & those who have cleared only one or two papers of the said exam in/till 2022 but have not fully completed the Junior Associate of the Indian Institute of Bankers/ Diploma in Banking & Finance & want to learn all the changes in syllabus, exam pattern & everything relevant for their exams.

Let us begin by diving into the JAIIB Exams’ new changes right away:

REVISED / NEW JAIIB EXAM PATTERN & PASSING CRITERIA

CREDITS FOR THE JAIIB SUBJECTS PASSED UNDER THE PRESENT SYLLABUS

The credits will be allowed for the below papers/subjects of JAIIB only:

This apparently means that if you clear/ have cleared JAIIB or DB&F or even SOB in attempts of 2022, you will not be required to write or sit for the Subjects mentioned under the Revised Syllabus of the said exam. However, they will have to pass the following papers within the given time frame for the purpose:

• Indian Economy & Indian Financial System
• Retail Banking & Wealth Management

So, if you don’t clear/haven’t cleared JAIIB/ DB&F / SOB in the present syllabus up & until 2022, you will be required to pass the respective papers as per the revised Syllabus from 2023 onwards & will be able to retain your previous credits upto:

• • So, the candidate will have a maximum of 5 attempts to complete and successfully pass the JAIIB / DB&F / SOB Exam subject to the condition that these 5 attempts must be given & passed within the period of 3 years. 
  • These attempts need not be given consecutively.
  • This time limit will begin as soon as the candidate registers for the JAIIB / DB&F / SOB exam.
  • If a candidate is not able to clear the JAIIB / DB&F / SOB Examination within 3 years or within the stipulated period then he or she has to re-enroll for the exam.
  • It is also to be noted that the credits if any gained from the previous examinations given under the previous registration will not be granted under new registered attempts.
  • The time limit of 3 years of 5 attempts, as we have talked about will begin from the date – the candidate has registered for the first attempt.

• It is also to be noted that the attempts shall be counted as exams whether the candidate has appeared for any examination or not.

This all means that if JAIIB / DB&F / SOB candidate applies for any 5 attempts out of the given/provided 6 attempts that will be conducted in a span of 3 years, if they remain un-successful in passing the exam then they will have to re and roll them by paying the requisite fee. In the same way, if a candidate does not avail any or avail less than 5 attempts within when given three years, then they will be required to view an old answer for the exam.

How will the credits gain credits under the present syllabus work?

The most important question for the candidates who have given JAIIB / SOB / DB&F Exam in 2022 or previous attempts under the present or old syllabus is how their credits will work out in the revised syllabus examinations, if any.

Indian Institute of Banking and Finance has clarified the same.

As you have already read in the above table, for the mentioned papers of JAIIB / SOB / DB&F, if you have cleared i.e. gained credit in any paper/s, in the attempts under the present syllabus then you will be able to retain the credits for the subject’s mentioned respectively. (Check out the table: CREDITS FOR THE JAIIB SUBJECTS PASSED UNDER PRESENT SYLLABUS)

Now, the question is that how much longer can you avail the credits of the JAIIB / SOB / DB&F papers you have given under the previous attempts (obtained 50 or more marks in the paper)?

The answer is that the credits gained will be valid under the revised scheme and will be directly linked to the time limit rule. 

For example:

If you have availed or exhausted three attempts under the present syllabus, then you will have 2 more attempts to pass Junior Associate of the Indian Institute of Bankers/Diploma in Banking & Finance/ Specialists Officers of Banks under the revised syllabus.

And to determine the time limit of 3 years (For the candidates who had registered under the present syllabus), will start from the date of registration of their first attempt under the present syllabus.

To explain it further, take a look at the below table:

It’s further clarified that if JAIIB candidates choose not to apply for the May 2023 attempt, it will still be considered an attempt for the calculation of the stipulated time limit of Registration/credit.

Once the balance attempts/time are/is fully exhausted, the JAIIB or SOB or DB&F candidates have to compulsorily apply afresh for the JAIIB or SOB or DB&F Exams respectively.
