Hi, to get into banking career, you need to specialise in accounting and finance, which gives you an insight into basic banking activities. Once you earn a bachelor's degree, you can give bank exams which allows you to start a career with public banking sector.

When you are able to start working, see if you can get a job as a teller at a small bank or credit union. You will get much more practical experience at a smaller institution and might find some opportunities for yourself to move up. Either way, I would recommend making friends with your coworkers and keeping up with them. If you are looking to become a manager, the sooner you can start building friendships with people in the industry, the better. You'll likely need a degree in accounting or finance, but not necessarily. Keep networking with your fellow students throughout school and then try to land a good internship in banking and network there as well. It's not uncommon to get hired by a company that gave you an internship in the past, so try to keep that relationship going.

Hi Deepa,
Its good to hear that you are interested to become a Bank Manager. For this what you can do is to opt for one of the Finance or related subjects in your graduation (preferably).
If you prefer to join a government Bank, then you can attempt to an IBPS exam for Probationary officers or SBI Probationary officers exam. Once you clear one of these you can join the banks as a Probationary officer and with experience you can grow as a Bank Manager. You can join in your Masters like MBA in parallel, while you attempt for these exams just in case it takes time for you to clear the test. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Banking_Personnel_Selection.
If you prefer to join a private sector Banks, you can do so after finishing your graduation and apply for the banks. With further studies, and experience you can settle down as an effective Bank Manager.

You will have to study something related to finance.
You should start as a teller and then move to a managerial position (i.e. head of operations) then assistant branch manager then eventually branch manager.
