Since its inception, Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) has been working for the capacity development of the banking professionals of our country in different forms and in different ways. All over the year, we have been offering different training courses, training workshops, research activities, and seminars targeting the young banking professionals to senior bank executives. With the commitment of delivering quality output, BIBM has been preparing Academic Calendar every year to keep learners, faculty members, and staff reminded of key dates throughout the academic year. It is also useful for the prospective learners and alumni as well. The preparation of Academic Calendar process starts with the formation of Academic Calendar Committee consisting the faculty members of BIBM. After carefully examining and scrutinizing the objectives and contents of existing training courses, training workshops, and research activities, and considering the feedback of the trainees of last academic calendar, the committee came out with a fresh proposal which contains: offering new training courses and training workshops; modification of title, objectives, and contents of existing training courses and training workshops; changes of duration and frequency of the training courses and training workshops. Moreover, the committee also proposed the review workshops, research workshops, roundtable discussion, research project and seminar for the new academic calendar. Based on in-house consultation, a draft proposal is prepared and placed it to the 'Need Assessment Meeting' where the Head of Human Resource Division, Head of Learning and Development, and Principal of Training Academy of different commercial banks participated in the meeting. After incorporating the feedback of the audience, a draft academic calendar was prepared and placed it in the meeting of the BIBM Executive Committee and BIBM Governing Board for the purpose of getting final approval
