Export-Import Bank of India is recruiting 4 Deputy Managers in the Information Security cadre via Advertisement HRM/DM/2026-27/03. With ~₹18 LPA CTC at joining, a Group A officer role, and a single-paper written test in July 2026, this is one of the most prestigious banking-tech openings of the year. Here is everything you need — eligibility, syllabus, exam pattern, salary, and the proven preparation path.
Export-Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank) is recruiting 4 Deputy Managers in the Information Security cadre through Direct Recruitment Drive 2026-27 (Advertisement No. HRM/DM/2026-27/03). Applications opened on 26 May 2026 and close on 14 June 2026, with the written examination scheduled for July 2026.
Export-Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank) is an all-India premier financial institution wholly owned by the Government of India. Established under the Export-Import Bank of India Act 1981, the Bank is the apex institution for financing, facilitating, and promoting India's international trade. It plays a critical role in supporting Indian exporters, providing buyer's credit to overseas projects, and advising the Government on policy matters related to foreign trade.
The Deputy Manager (Information Security) is a Group A officer cadre role. The selected officers will be responsible for managing the Bank's information security posture — designing and implementing security controls, leading vulnerability assessments, supporting cyber security incident response, ensuring compliance with RBI/CERT-In/IT Act guidelines, and managing security audits. Given the Bank's role in cross-border financial transactions, the InfoSec function is mission-critical.
Why this opening matters: With only 4 posts and a single objective written paper, this is a high-leverage opportunity for CS/IT engineering graduates who already have at least 1 year of InfoSec experience. The CTC of ~₹18 lakh, Group A status, and Mumbai/Delhi-centric posting make it directly comparable to SBI SO IT Officer, IBPS SO IT Officer, and SEBI Grade A IT roles.
EXIM Bank has notified 4 total vacancies for the post of Deputy Manager (Information Security), distributed as follows:

With the exam in July 2026 and roughly 30 working days to prepare, here is a focused plan that prioritises high-yield topics from the IT + Cyber Security syllabus.
Pro tip for the interview round: Be ready to discuss real-world InfoSec scenarios — how would you respond to a ransomware incident in a banking environment? How would you handle a SWIFT-related security alert? Bring talking points around your 1+ year of InfoSec work, and prepare to discuss any preferred certifications you hold (CISA / CISSP / CEH / ISO 27001 LA etc.).
