Specialisation-specific preparation map — not a separate official detailed syllabus

The original notice calls its exam Professional Knowledge and states that questions depend on the selected specialisation. It does not publish an exhaustive chapter-wise official topic list. For focused preparation, compare the competencies written into the selected job: Banking Operations (credit/loans), Treasury, Risk, International Relations, Internal Audit, Legal, Cyber Security, Digital Technology, ESG, Company Secretarial Compliance, HR, Administration, Corporate Communications, Documentary Credit, Bank Guarantees, Trade Finance, Recovery, MSME or CSR. Subjects such as UCP 600/URDG 758/ISBP are cited as job knowledge for Manager Trade Finance, and Finacle explicitly matters for Manager Documentary Credit; do not turn them into universal paper-wide eligibility requirements.
