In a world driven by digitalization, the smell of fresh books, the curiosity of discovering new titles, and the sheer excitement to hold freshly bound pages, still has a charm of its own.

That’s the spirit that filled the National Institute of Bank Management (NIBM). A book exhibition held at the Academic Arena where there was all the buzz and eagerness to explore new titles. Faculty members and staff alike were seen browsing through a diverse collection of books procured from various vendors. Subject ranging from banking and finance to management, IT, research methodology, and best-selling non-fiction, there was something for everyone’s interest.

While a regular activity, it always is more than just another book exhibition. With faculty discussing, exploring, and recommending books that will find home in the state-of-the-art library at NIBM, the exhibit was a huge success.

At NIBM, we always look forward to strengthening our capability by offering the best of the collection to our students and faculty!
