Indian Bank AI Cell Specialist Officers Recruitment 2026 — eight fixed-term leadership and engineering positions

Indian Bank AI Cell | Notice dated 11 November 2026 | Offline application must reach Chennai by 1 December 2026. Indian Bank is engaging experienced professionals for five distinct position codes, spread across AI product leadership, engineering/architecture and Responsible AI governance. This is an AI Cell advertisement, not the bank’s separate AI-Cybersecurity ISSD drive or its 1,500-seat apprentice recruitment.

The bank advertises a three-year initial fixed-term engagement, renewable subject to review, with an overall possible extension up to five years. Compensation is negotiable and not numerically published. Shortlisting and interview are the stated selection route; a written test, group discussion or preliminary interview may be adopted if applications are substantially numerous. No test calendar, paper pattern or interview schedule has been published in this notice.

🎯 Decide your post code before paying

Post code / role	Seats and category	Age 01.11.2026	Post-education experience	Minimum certifications
01 — AVP — AI Product Manager	2 (OBC 1, UR 1)	28–35 years	5 years	1
02 — VP — AI Engineer / Architect	1 (UR 1)	35–45 years	10 years	2
03 — DVP — AI Engineer / Architect	1 (UR 1)	30–40 years	7 years	2
04 — AVP — AI Engineer / Architect	3 (EWS 1, UR 2)	28–35 years	5 years	2
05 — AVP — Responsible AI Officer	1 (UR 1)	28–35 years	5 years	2
TOTAL	8: UR 6, OBC 1, EWS 1	—	—	—

The exact 1 November 2026 eligibility cut-off applies to age, recognized qualifications, mandatory certifications and post-qualification work experience. Certificates must be valid on the cut-off and active at application/interview. All five codes require meaningful career evidence; a fresh graduate cannot satisfy the required experience solely through academic training. Each additional post choice needs a separate prescribed form and a separate non-refundable payment.

🥧 Reservation and 📊 vacancy distribution

🥧 Category-wise allocation of the eight advertised seats

Category	Seats
Unreserved (UR)	6
Other Backward Classes (OBC)	1
Economically Weaker Section (EWS)	1

Six UR seats are open competition seats; they are not reserved only for persons belonging to the General category. One OBC seat is in Product Management and one EWS seat is in AVP Engineering. No distinct SC/ST seat or PwBD horizontal seat is shown in this vacancy table; that is separate from age-relaxation and application-fee provisions.

📊 Vacancies by exact Indian Bank AI Cell role

Post code / role	Seats
AVP — AI Product Manager	2
VP — AI Engineer / Architect	1
DVP — AI Engineer / Architect	1
AVP — AI Engineer / Architect	3
AVP — Responsible AI Officer	1

The allocation is 2 Product Manager + 1 VP Architect + 1 DVP Architect + 3 AVP Architect + 1 Responsible AI Officer = 8. The three architect grades have different experience requirements; treating all five codes as one interchangeable “AI Officer” profile can cause an otherwise qualified applicant to choose the wrong grade.

🎓 Which qualifications actually satisfy which role?

Role family	Published academic alternatives	Professional certification condition
Code 01 — AI Product Manager	Bachelor’s in Engineering/Technology/Data Science OR MBA/PGDM/M.Tech/M.Sc./MCA/MS in AI, ML, Data Science, Analytics or Statistics	At least one from AI-for-business/GenAI leadership, Product Management/Digital Transformation or BFSI-domain certification families
Codes 02, 03 and 04 — AI Engineer/Architect	Bachelor’s in Engineering/Computer Science/IT/Data Science OR M.Tech/MCA/MS in AI/ML/Data Science/Analytics	At least two qualifying courses/certifications from listed GenAI/ML/NLP, cloud architecture/Kubernetes/MLOps or security/privacy-related families
Code 05 — Responsible AI Officer	Bachelor’s in Engineering/Technology/Law OR Chartered Accountant who is a member of ICAI	At least two qualifying Risk/Audit, AI Governance/Ethics or Security/Compliance certifications

The bank says no equivalent educational qualification is accepted beyond its prescribed alternatives. A certification is not a replacement for the mandatory degree or required work history. Desirable executive programmes, papers or general AI familiarity cannot compensate for mandatory eligibility. For the Responsible AI Officer, the ICAI Chartered Accountant route is explicitly an alternative to the named bachelor’s degrees; it should not be mistaken for an MSc or M.Tech requirement.

📊 Compare the real experience and age thresholds

📊 Minimum total post-qualification experience by post code

Post code	Minimum years
01	5
02	10
03	7
04	5
05	5

Experience within experience matters. Code 02 needs 10 years total, including 6 years of named banking enterprise-architecture work and 1 year in cloud AI solutions. Code 03 needs 7 + 4 + 1; Code 04 needs 5 + 2 + 1. The cloud-AI year forms part of the specified experience, not an additional year to add twice. Code 01 needs 5 total including at least 1 in AI/GenAI use cases or digital transformation; Code 05 needs 5 total including 2 in BFSI risk, audit and governance frameworks.

📊 Published maximum age by post code

Post code	Upper age, years
01	35
02	45
03	40
04	35
05	35

The minimum ages are equally decisive: code 01 is 28, code 02 is 35, code 03 is 30, and codes 04/05 are 28. All limits are measured on 1 November 2026, subject to genuinely applicable category relaxations. SC/ST: 5 years; OBC-NCL: 3; PwBD: 10; qualifying ex-servicemen: 5; persons affected by 1984 riots: 5. Read the conditions and certificates in the official pages before relying on any relaxation; age concessions do not manufacture a reserved seat.

🧩 Role-by-role decision guide: what your experience documents should prove

01 · Assistant Vice President — AI Product Manager (Business & Use-Case Leadership) — 2 seats

This is the business-facing AI decision role, not a pure software engineering vacancy. A competitive application should connect an actual banking problem to a delivered feature, its controls and an outcome the applicant can substantiate. Mentioning that an LLM was used is weaker than proving the use case reached operational users.

Eligibility evidence: 5 years after the qualifying educational award, including at least one year in AI/GenAI use cases, agentic-AI concepts or digital transformation within the five years. At least 1 eligible professional certification must be documented. 28–35 years as on 1 November 2026.

Work to substantiate: Identify measurable banking pain points and translate them into AI use cases, including service-cost reduction, onboarding improvement and revenue-facing opportunities. Carry product decisions from discovery and current-process mapping through solution-architect walkthroughs, development and implementation. Align business owners, engineering teams, risk and compliance on use-case acceptance, safe deployment and adoption measures. Demonstrate banking/analytics-firm employment with at least five post-qualification years, including one year in the specifically described AI/GenAI/digital-transformation activities.

02 · Vice President — AI Engineer / AI Architect — 1 seat

This is the senior technical architecture grade. The qualification test is not simply ten years in IT: six must fit the bank’s architecture/integration/security/cloud wording, and one must specifically concern AI solutions on cloud. Project evidence should show architecture ownership, security decisions and production outcomes.

Eligibility evidence: 10 years after the qualifying educational award, including six years in banking-domain enterprise architecture/API integration/secure AI deployment/cloud solutions, including at least one year in cloud AI solutions. At least 2 eligible professional certifications must be documented. 35–45 years as on 1 November 2026.

Work to substantiate: Set the enterprise AI design approach that connects banking systems, data platforms, secure APIs and cloud solutions. Review architecture for AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation, model isolation, security guardrails and cost/latency reliability. Lead engineering decisions for deployment, model monitoring, orchestration, hybrid-cloud operations and incident resilience. Provide clear evidence for ten post-qualification years, six years in the specified enterprise architecture-related work and at least one year on cloud AI solutions.

03 · Deputy Vice President — AI Engineer / AI Architect — 1 seat

Compared with the VP role, the DVP threshold falls to seven years overall and four years of the specified architecture work, but cloud AI experience and two qualifying certifications remain compulsory. Candidates should make that composition visible on their experience letters.

Eligibility evidence: 7 years after the qualifying educational award, including four years in banking-domain enterprise architecture/API integration/secure AI deployment/cloud solutions, including at least one year in cloud AI solutions. At least 2 eligible professional certifications must be documented. 30–40 years as on 1 November 2026.

Work to substantiate: Design AI architecture components that can integrate into a banking technology environment and support secure agent workflows. Implement or oversee GenAI/LLM integration, retrieval systems, access controls, cloud deployment and model observability. Coordinate deployments across application, infrastructure and security teams, with measurable reliability and quality. Prove the distinctive seven-year/four-year/one-year experience composition instead of citing undifferentiated IT service.

04 · Assistant Vice President — AI Engineer / AI Architect — 3 seats

The largest named group has three positions, two UR and one EWS. It does not waive certification or cloud experience for AVP applicants. A strong submission distinguishes implementation ownership from coursework, prototype demos or unrelated infrastructure support.

Eligibility evidence: 5 years after the qualifying educational award, including two years in implementing banking-domain enterprise architecture/API integration/secure AI deployment/cloud solutions, including at least one year in cloud AI solutions. At least 2 eligible professional certifications must be documented. 28–35 years as on 1 November 2026.

Work to substantiate: Develop and implement production-minded AI/GenAI architecture and integrations for banking use cases. Work on AI agents and orchestration, APIs, retrieval systems, model deployment, monitoring and security controls as assigned. Contribute to cloud-cost management, incident diagnostics and the operational reliability of AI workloads. Demonstrate at least five post-qualification years, including two years implementing the specified banking architecture work and one year in cloud AI solutions.

05 · Assistant Vice President — Responsible AI Officer — 1 seat

This is an AI-governance position. The publication names Engineering/Technology/Law degrees OR ICAI Chartered Accountant membership; it does not require the same Engineering/Computer Science degree as the three architect jobs. Evidence of risk controls and audit delivery matters more than a generic interest in AI.

Eligibility evidence: 5 years after the qualifying educational award, including two years in risk-management, audit and governance frameworks within BFSI. At least 2 eligible professional certifications must be documented. 28–35 years as on 1 November 2026.

Work to substantiate: Establish evaluation and monitoring controls for AI/GenAI agents, including explainability, risk ownership and traceability of decisions. Coordinate AI policy, audit evidence, fairness testing, model-risk oversight, privacy and third-party control review with bank stakeholders. Assess operational risks from autonomous agents, changes to model behaviour, response quality and data exposure. Document five post-qualification years including two years of banking risk/audit/governance work and two qualifying certifications from the specified families.

💳 Fee payment and application — postal delivery is mandatory

📊 Non-refundable charges by candidate group

Candidate category	Fee in ₹
SC / ST / PwBD	175
All others, including OBC / EWS / UR	1000

The application fee is ₹175 inclusive of GST for SC/ST/PwBD and ₹1,000 inclusive of GST for everyone else. It is not refundable. Candidates applying for two different post codes must pay separately for each code. Charges may be paid using Internet Banking, NEFT, RTGS or UPI, into the exact Indian Bank Recruitment Fee Collection Account identified in the official notice; include transaction reference/UTR in Annexure-A. Check the beneficiary particulars against the bank’s own PDF before paying, rather than trusting a forwarded payment instruction.

Step-by-step offline submission

Download and print Annexure-A, pages 16–17 of the original 17-page PDF; tick exactly one post code on each form. Fill the candidate, qualification, certification, experience, category and contact fields without omissions.
Paste a recent colour passport-size photograph and sign across it. Sign the bottom of all pages; the bank explicitly rejects signatures written in CAPITAL LETTERS.
Pay the appropriate non-refundable fee for that individual post. Enter the beneficiary account, IFSC, date, amount and correct bank transaction/UTR number in the form.
Attach self-attested copies of proof of date of birth, all degree/mark certificates, mandatory professional certifications, relevant employment experience showing precise dates and duties, and identity/address proof. Your experience evidence should explicitly establish the specialist domain and salary/designation details where available.
Seal the complete physical application in an envelope clearly marked “Application for the post of AI –Specialist Officers for AI Cell on Contractual Basis - 2026”. Send it to the official bank HRM Recruitment Section address below. A signed scanned copy may also be sent in advance to the bank recruitment email, but the notice still requires the postal original to arrive by the stated deadline.
The deadline is receipt on or before 1 December 2026, not merely dispatch by that day. The notice provides no separate final clock hour, so plan for arrival before the local receiving-office cutoff, not an assumed 11:59 PM deadline.

Official postal recipient: Chief General Manager (CDO & CLO), Indian Bank, Corporate Office, HRM Department, Recruitment Section, 254–260, Avvai Shanmugam Salai, Royapettah, Chennai – 600014, Tamil Nadu.

Optional advance scanned application: IBRECRUITMENT@indianbank.bank.in. This is not an online recruitment portal and is not a substitute for submitting the signed physical form by post.

🧾 Reservation documents: the details that change eligibility

OBC: The available OBC seat is only for eligible non-creamy-layer applicants whose caste is on the Central List and whose certificate meets the published format. The advertisement specifies OBC-NCL certificates issued on or after 1 April 2026, to be produced by interview; creamy-layer applicants cannot claim the OBC benefit.

EWS: The one EWS vacancy is in AVP Engineering/Architect. The official notice uses preceding financial-year income 2025–26, valid financial year 2026–27, with income/asset certificate produced at interview. The notified conditions include a family-income ceiling and exclusions for specified land/flat/plot holdings; income alone does not determine eligibility.

PwBD: The vacancy grid shows no PwBD earmarked post, but the notice contains statutory accommodation instructions only if a written examination is held. Scribe and compensatory time are not evidence that a written test has been scheduled. Where eligible, the notice mentions 20 minutes per examination hour, subject to medical-certification and advance registration conditions.

🧪 Selection — confirmed stages and conditions

Stage	What is confirmed
Application screening	Screening Committee evaluates complete eligibility, age, mandatory certificates and documented experience
Conditional preliminary assessment	Bank may hold written test, group discussion and/or preliminary interview if applicant volume is large
Selection Committee interview	Interview for shortlisted candidates; bank will notify eligible applicants using supplied contact details
Document verification / medical	Original proof and applicable NOC/category certificates at interview; medical fitness before engagement

A separate written-test syllabus, number of questions, qualifying marks, exam date and centre are not supplied. Do not prepare as though an announced objective exam exists. Instead, interview preparation should center on verifiable delivery outcomes, role-appropriate banking risks, professional architecture decisions, governance documentation and the logic behind past projects. The notice also provides scribe rules if the bank chooses to conduct a test.

🏦 Appointment terms worth reviewing before you apply

Condition	Published rule
Contract	Initial 3 years; possible extension up to 5 years total, subject to review and requirement
Location	Chennai or another place determined by the Bank
Remuneration	Negotiable; no published post-wise salary, basic pay or CTC figure
Leave	30 days per calendar year pro rata; no carry-forward or encashment
Ending contract	Either party: three months’ notice or three months’ fixed compensation component in lieu, as per bank terms
Job status	Fixed-term contract, not a regular Indian Bank officer-cadre appointment
NOC	Serving government/quasi-government/PSU/bank employees need NOC at interview and discharge before joining

One source-text caution: the general-instructions page contains a stray reference to the bank’s AI-Cybersecurity/ISSD drive. This advertisement’s title, vacancy table, qualification schedules and Annexure-A clearly relate to AI Cell and five post codes 01–05. Do not merge these vacancies with the separate ISSD recruitment simply because that page uses the other department’s wording.
