JAIIB November 2026 Paper-Wise Timetable

PPB Exam Date: 22 November 2026

The paper covers banking operations, the banker-customer relationship, lending, documentation, recovery, digital banking, banking technology, customer service and ethics.

AFM Exam Date: 28 November 2026

Accounting & Financial Management for Bankers will be conducted on 28 November 2026.

AFM includes accounting principles, financial statements, banking-company accounts, financial mathematics, financial management, taxation, costing and budgeting. Candidates should give sufficient time to numerical practice while preparing for this paper.

The syllabus covers retail-banking products, delivery channels, customer relationship management, marketing, recovery, investment management, tax planning, housing finance and wealth-management services.

Important Gap Between JAIIB Papers

The November 2026 schedule provides different preparation gaps between the four papers:

From To Preparation gap
IE & IFS – 1 November PPB – 22 November 20 clear days
PPB – 22 November AFM – 28 November 5 clear days
AFM – 28 November RBWM – 29 November No clear preparation day

The long gap before PPB can be used for revision and mock tests. However, AFM and RBWM are scheduled on consecutive days. Candidates should therefore complete the first round of preparation for both papers before the examination cycle begins.

Important preparation advice: AFM and RBWM are scheduled on consecutive days. Complete the first round of both papers before the examination cycle begins; do not postpone RBWM preparation until after AFM.

JAIIB Exam Timing 2026

IIBF may allot candidates different examination batches or time slots. The exact timing and reporting instructions applicable to a candidate will be mentioned on the JAIIB admit letter.

Candidates should not rely on timings from previous examination cycles. Always follow the time printed on the current admit letter.

JAIIB Admit Letter 2026

IIBF will make the JAIIB November 2026 admit letter available to successfully registered candidates before the examination.

Candidates can ordinarily download it by logging in through the official IIBF website or candidate portal.

The admit letter is expected to contain:

  • Candidate’s name and membership or registration details

  • Paper name and examination date

  • Examination time and reporting time

  • Examination centre and address

  • Candidate’s photograph and identification details

  • Important examination-day instructions

Candidates should download and print the admit letter as soon as it becomes available. The name, paper, date, centre and other details should be checked carefully.

If any information is incorrect, the candidate should contact IIBF through the official support channel without waiting until the examination date.

Documents to Carry to the Examination Centre

Candidates should follow the instructions printed on their admit letter. Generally, candidates should keep the following ready:

  • Printed copy of the JAIIB admit letter

  • Original valid photo identification accepted by IIBF

  • Any additional document mentioned in the admit letter

  • Other permitted items specified in the examination instructions

Candidates should avoid carrying prohibited electronic devices or other restricted items into the examination centre.

When Should You Reach the JAIIB Examination Centre?

Candidates should report within the time specified on their admit letter. Reaching the centre well before the reporting deadline helps avoid problems caused by traffic, difficulty locating the venue or identity-verification formalities.

Late entry may not be permitted. Candidates should visit or locate the examination centre in advance whenever possible.

Can IIBF Change a JAIIB Exam Date or Centre?

IIBF may revise an examination date, time, batch or centre in exceptional circumstances. Any such change is generally communicated through an official notice, candidate profile, revised admit letter, registered email or SMS.

Candidates should check the following regularly:

  • Official IIBF website

  • IIBF candidate profile

  • Registered email address

  • SMS received on the registered mobile number

  • Revised admit letter, if issued

Information circulated through unofficial WhatsApp or Telegram groups should always be verified against an official IIBF notice.

Particular Details
Question type Objective-type multiple-choice questions

How to Prepare According to the JAIIB Exam Dates

Candidates should plan backward from 1 November 2026 rather than preparing one paper at a time in examination order.

Before the First Examination

Complete at least one full round of all four papers. Give additional practice time to AFM numerical problems and important PPB concepts.

Between IE & IFS and PPB

Use the longer gap to revise PPB, attempt full-length mock tests and review incorrect answers. A portion of this period should also be reserved for AFM and RBWM revision.

Between PPB and AFM

Focus primarily on AFM formulas, numerical questions, accounting entries and full-length practice tests. Avoid beginning entirely new topics unless they carry substantial importance.

Between AFM and RBWM

Since the two papers are scheduled on consecutive days, keep RBWM revision notes ready in advance. After AFM, revise only high-yield concepts, important facts, formulas and previously marked questions.
