Axis Bank Young Bankers Program 2026: Assistant Manager Job
Lokesh RathoreOn this page
If you’re a graduate in your early twenties who wants a confirmed banking job instead of a long, uncertain job hunt, Axis Bank’s Young Bankers Program (ABYB) is worth a close read. Axis hires you first, trains you for a year, and then absorbs you as an Assistant Manager. The residential training happens at Bengaluru and at NIIT University in Neemrana, while your eventual posting can be anywhere in India in branch banking and sales roles. This is a rolling intake with no fixed last date, so you apply online through the official Axis Bank campus-careers page whenever the program window is open.
Inside the 12-month ABYB path to becoming an Axis Assistant Manager
ABYB is a twelve-month, job-assured residential program that ends with a Post Graduate Diploma in Banking Services and a confirmed role as an Assistant Manager at Axis Bank. Think of it as a paid pathway into a private-sector banking career rather than a standalone degree. The year is split into roughly four months of on-campus training, three months of internship, and five months of on-the-job training. It suits fresh graduates from any stream who are comfortable living on campus, want structured grounding in banking operations and sales, and are ready to be posted in any city once they finish. If you enjoy customer-facing work and want a clear start in retail banking, this fits. If you’re after a desk-only or remote role, it won’t.
The 50% marks and 21-to-30 age bar for joining ABYB
You need to be a graduate or post-graduate from any stream with at least 50% marks, counted either as your final-year or aggregate score. Your age should fall between 21 and 30 years. There’s no single-stream restriction, so commerce, arts, science, and engineering graduates are all eligible as long as the marks and age conditions are met. Since it’s any stream, your degree subject matters far less than clearing that 50% cutoff.
The Rs 4.42 lakh CTC Axis fixes for new Assistant Managers
On joining Axis Bank as an Assistant Manager after the program, the officially stated CTC is about Rs 4.42 lakh per year, and that figure already includes incentives and benefits. This is the number Axis lists for the role, not a market estimate, so you can treat it as your starting package. Your actual take-home will depend on the usual deductions and on how the incentive portion works out, but the headline CTC is fixed at joining.
From proctored tests to the AI video interview at Axis
Selection runs in clear stages. First come two rounds of proctored online assessments covering verbal ability, analytical and numerical reasoning, and written English. Clear those and you move to an AI-based video interview. To apply, go to the official Axis Bank campus-careers page, open the ABYB listing, and follow the link to the program portal to register and pay the non-refundable application fee. Fill in your academic details carefully, since your marks decide whether you clear the eligibility gate. Because the assessments are proctored, sit them in a quiet spot with a stable internet connection and a working camera.
One caution before you start: apply only on the official Axis Bank site. The program does carry an application fee that Axis states upfront, but beyond that, a genuine recruiter will never ask you for extra money, gifts, or “processing charges” to hand you a seat or a posting. If someone does, walk away and report it. Want to compare a few more openings first? Browse other verified roles on our latest jobs page.
Common doubts graduates have about the Young Bankers Program
Does ABYB hand me a job or only a diploma?
It’s both. You go through a one-year residential course that awards a Post Graduate Diploma in Banking Services, and on finishing you’re absorbed into Axis Bank as an Assistant Manager. The job is assured as part of the program.
Can a graduate from any stream get into ABYB?
Any graduate or post-graduate from any stream with 50% or more marks, aged between 21 and 30. Your stream doesn’t matter as long as you meet the marks and age cutoffs.
Does the ABYB intake ever actually close?
This is a rolling intake, so there isn’t a single fixed deadline. Keep an eye on the official campus-careers page and apply while the current window is open.
Which cities can Axis post me to once I finish?
Postings are pan-India in branch banking and sales roles, so be prepared to relocate to whichever city Axis assigns you.
How much will I earn on day one as Assistant Manager?
Axis officially states a CTC of about Rs 4.42 lakh per year on joining as an Assistant Manager, and that number already includes incentives and benefits.
