The Export-Import Bank of India, better known as India Exim Bank, has opened the door to one of the most attractive banking careers of the year. The bank has released its detailed notification for 120 Management Trainee and Manager posts, and the online application window opens on 27 November 2026. With a monthly stipend of Rs 65,000 during training and a pay package that rises to around Rs 25 lakh a year after absorption, this is a recruitment that finance graduates across the country will be watching closely.
The notification, issued under Advertisement No. HRM/MT/M/2026-27/05, was released on 12 November 2026. Candidates can apply online through the bank’s careers portal at eximbankindia.in/careers, and the last date to submit the form and pay the fee is 11 December 2026. The written examination is tentatively scheduled for December 2026.
120 vacancies: 90 Management Trainees, 30 Managers
The recruitment covers two posts. There are 90 vacancies for Management Trainee (MT) and 30 for Manager in Grade/Scale MM-II. The posts span several disciplines, including Banking Operations, Legal, Digital Technology, Trade Finance, Risk Management and Internal Audit.
Management Trainees go through a one-year training period. During training they receive a monthly stipend of Rs 65,000. On successful completion, they are absorbed as Deputy Manager in the Junior Management Grade I, in the pay scale of Rs 48,480 to Rs 85,920, with an approximate annual CTC of Rs 25 lakh. Managers in MM-II start in the pay scale of Rs 64,820 to Rs 93,960, with an approximate annual CTC of Rs 30 lakh.
Who can apply
The academic bar is set high, and it is the same for both posts. Candidates need graduation with at least 60 per cent marks, followed by a two-year full-time MBA, PGDBA, PGDBM or MMS in Finance, International Business or Foreign Trade with at least 60 per cent marks, or a Chartered Accountancy qualification with ICAI membership. Depending on the discipline, professional qualifications such as CS or LLB are also accepted.
The difference between the two posts is experience. Management Trainee posts are open to fresh postgraduates, while Manager applicants need at least four years of post-qualification experience in relevant fields such as credit appraisal, trade finance, risk management or internal audit in a bank, financial institution or reputed organisation.

- Age relaxation: 5 years for SC/ST, 3 years for OBC (NCL) and 10 years for PwBD candidates, as per Government of India rules

How to apply
Applications are accepted online only. Candidates should visit the careers section of eximbankindia.in, find the link for Advertisement No. HRM/MT/M/2026-27/05, and complete the registration with a valid email ID and mobile number. The form asks for personal details, educational qualifications and, for Manager posts, work experience. Applicants should keep scanned copies of their photograph, signature and certificates ready before they start, and submit the form well before the 11 December deadline to avoid last-minute server load.
Before applying, candidates should read the full official notification carefully. The fee structure, the discipline-wise vacancy break-up, the selection process and the exact syllabus for the written examination are all given in the advertisement, and the bank’s website is the final word on every detail.
Why this recruitment stands out
Exim Bank is not a regular commercial bank. It is the country’s export credit agency, set up to finance and promote India’s foreign trade, so its officers work on trade finance, overseas project lending and export credit, areas that few other banking jobs offer. A Rs 65,000 monthly stipend during training is also well above what most public sector banks pay their trainees, and the jump to a Deputy Manager role with an approximate Rs 25 lakh CTC after just one year makes this one of the better-paid entry routes into public sector banking this year.
With the application window opening on 27 November, candidates have two weeks to get their documents in order. Those who meet the 60 per cent marks criterion and the age limits should not wait for the last day, because the 11 December cut-off is firm.
