1. How much will I be paid?

Your starting salary with be in line with the market rate for fresh graduates from each target group.

2. When will I start if I am successful?

There are several start dates available for most of our batch programmes. This will give you the opportunity to travel or take some time off before starting with us.

3. I’m not a recent graduate and have some years’ work experience. Can I still apply?

Yes, we encourage applications from graduates with work experience. Please make sure you fall within the age bracket for the applied programme (where applicable).

4. Is there an upper age limit for applications?

While age is not important to us, we find that people in the early stages of their career, or those starting out on a new career, are better able to take advantage of the development and objectives of the batch programmes.

5. Can existing Alfalah employees apply?

Yes, we encourage applications from existing employees who are graduates. Your application and assessment will follow the same process as that of external candidates. In certain programmes, we offer age relaxation to existing employees.

6. Do you support study for professional qualifications?

Yes, if the subject is relevant to your business area.

7. What is the closing date for applications?

The application deadlines are posted well in advance of the selection process. Generally, all batch recruitment is aligned with the graduating cycle of universities in Pakistan e.g. late spring each year in April/May.

8. Can I start my online application form and then come back to it later?

Yes – there’s a facility to save and review your application.

9. Can I get a paper copy of the application form?

We do not have a paper based application form at the moment. All applications are received via our CV data base on the website.

10. How many graduates are you recruiting this year?

We'll recruit around 200 graduates across our batch programmes annually. In addition, we also recruit 30+ undergraduates for our Summer Internship programme.

11. Can I apply to more than one of BAL’s batch programmes?

Each programme offer very different opportunities. It is unlikely that more than one will fit your career preferences or profile. Identify the most suitable programme for you, and apply only to that programme.

12. Does it matter if I don't have a finance background?

We take applicants with degrees in any subject for most of our Batch programmes. We'll train you in the basic skills you need.

13. Can I defer my offer?

We do not encourage deferring applications. However, deferring offers are often evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on your performance in our Assessment Centre.

14. Do I need to have a Master's degree or MBA?

The batch programmes are open to undergraduates and above with minimum sixteen years of education. You can apply if you have these qualifications or above. We assess each application on its merits.

15. Can I re-apply if I have applied before?

Yes. However, before you do, think carefully about why your last application was unsuccessful.

16. Will I receive feedback on my application?

Due to the number of applications we receive, we are unable to provide detailed feedback to all candidates. If you attend one of our assessment centres, we will give you detailed feedback on your performance, even if you're unsuccessful.

17. Do you pay recruitment expenses?

At present we do not have a reimbursement policy in place. However, the bank does provide overnight boarding facility to out station candidates if the selection process exceeds one day.

18. I am disabled. Can you accommodate my needs during the selection process?

Please contact us to discuss your requirements. We will work with you to accommodate your needs.

19. Must I have a bank account with Bank Alfalah to apply?

You do not need a bank account to apply, though we'll expect you to open a bank account as soon as you join us.

Good Luck!
