The use of case studies has been integral to the pedagogic approach in training and teaching curriculums at NIBM. The Institute has a history of development and publication of case studies in various areas of banking and finance. Case studies have been developed on both an institutional basis as well as the self-driven activity of faculty. The Case Development Centre (CDC) at the Institute is facilitating case development by faculty to address the changing perspectives and challenges of the banking and finance industry.

The case studies are not peer-reviewed. NIBM cases are developed solely as the basis for class discussion. Cases are not intended to serve as endorsements, sources of primary data, or illustrations of effective or ineffective management.
