The Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) is the premier institute in Bangladesh for acquiring and exercising banking knowledge. It is an educational, training and research institution in bank management supported and supervised by the Bangladesh Bank (central bank of Bangladesh) and almost all the leading banks and a few financial institutions of Bangladesh. Established as a national level training institute in the banking sector in 1974 under the Societies Act, 1860. BIBM caters primarily to the requirements of training of the mid and senior-level officers of banks and financial institutions. BIBM has started Masters in Bank Management (MBM) program in 1997 with the affiliation of
National University. For smooth running of the MBM program, Center for Post Graduate Studies
(CPGS) has been established. Thereafter, Evening MBM (EMBM) program has been started from July 2006 with the same University. After the successful completion of 16 batches of MBM and 5 batches of EMBM, MBM program has been affiliated with the University of Dhaka in 2012. As a requirement of affiliation under the University of Dhaka, BIBM has created Dhaka School of Bank Management (DSBM) for smooth running of the MBM program. Besides, the institute conducts workshops, seminars, round table discussions and undertakes research on banking and allied fields regularly and provides consultancy services to banks and other organisations on request.
About BIBM
Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) was established in 1974 primarily to train officials of banks and financial institutions of Bangladesh. Since then, BIBM has extended its scope to include providing Masters in Bank Management (MBM) and Evening MBM (EMBM) degrees, carrying out research in banking and finance, holding seminars and round table discussions, and aiding financial institutions in their recruitment.
Even with these activities, which are somewhat complementary with one another, training still occupies the centre-stage of BIBM operation. But BIBM now imparts training to only mid-level and senior officials of banks and financial institutions and generally in areas where all its members have common interest.
Beside training and education, BIBM's current activities include undertaking research, organising seminars and publishing reports on the issues relevant to the banking and financial sector. BIBM publishes a journal and a bulletin on a regular basis. The institute also provides support in recruiting bank officials. Since inception till December 2010 BIBM trained a total of 63,269 officers of banks and financial institutions. Further, 523 MBM graduates passed out from BIBM during the period 1996–2010 and almost all of them have joined the banking profession. Besides, 55 Evening MBM graduates passed out from BIBM since inception in 2006.

Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management
During the implementation of Financial Sector Reform Project in 1993, the international expert Harris Jafry proposed first to introduce MBM Program at BIBM to mitigate the deficit of efficient manpower in banking sector. In his FSRP report he said: "The MBM degree program would be developed and implemented in collaboration with some well-known foreign universities that would be approached to provide support to the program during the initial years."
He also said "The objectives of the MBM degree program is to bring about a dramatic improvement in the operational quality of the financial system through the institution, over a decade, of some 1000 MBM degree recipients into the financial system. While those graduates would commence their careers at the entry level, they are expected to demonstrate a superior job performance and rise rapidly to senior position."
Evening MBM (EMBM) Program
The Evening MBM degree is a two-year eight months program consisting of eight terms, each term being of four months duration. The program constitutes course work of 72 credit hours, that is, a student shall have to complete 24 courses (3 credit hours for each course). In each term, a student is required to take three courses as prescribed by the National University. In addition, every student must write a project paper (in the last term) weighing 3 credit hours and appear for a viva-voce at the end of II, IV, VI and VII terms, weighing in total 3 credit hours. Marks obtained in the project paper and term-end viva-voce will be graded as per EMBM grading system. The class size consists of 50 students selected on a competitive basis.
The EMBM program begins with a sequence of fundamental/core courses like Business Communication and Report Writing, Principles of Accounting, Business Mathematics, Principles of Management, Principles and Practices of Banking, Business Statistics, Management of Financial Institutions, International Trade Payment and Finance, Credit Management in Banks etc. Besides the core courses, the students have to choose two courses among a range of eight elective courses in the eighth term.
