Frequently asked questions
Who can apply to these programmes?+
Goldman Sachs opens its New Analyst Program to students graduating in 2027 and its Summer Analyst Program to students graduating in 2028. Deutsche Bank's graduate programmes are for students who complete their studies between 1 January 2027 and 1 July 2028, and its summer internship is for penultimate year students graduating in 2028. American Express lists penultimate year students for its 8 Week Summer Program and final year students for its 6-Month programmes. None of the pages names a branch.
Which branches can apply?+
None of the three prints a branch rule for its programmes. Deutsche Bank's technology students page says you don't necessarily need to have a background in STEM to become a Software Engineer, and adds: "If you have a basic level of IT, analytical and coding skills, you're well on your way." That is not the same as saying every branch is selected. American Express lists its India student career areas as coming "Top-Tier Technology Schools, B-Schools, and Grad Schools". That is the company's wording; it does not say what top-tier means and names no colleges.
How do I apply?+
Goldman Sachs says to apply through placement cells or career services, or through the GS Careers website. Deutsche Bank says that in India you will need to apply directly via your campus, with a short application form and your CV. Ask your placement cell whether the company visits. American Express says its India recruitment is done through universities, and it works with their campus teams to communicate application and interview steps.
Are there application dates?+
Goldman Sachs says applications will open July 1st and prints no year for that date and no closing date. If it means this year, that date has already passed, so ask your placement cell now. Deutsche Bank gives hiring periods at partner campuses: July to December for the Technology graduate programme, October to December for the Investment Bank and Corporate Bank programme, and July to October for the internship. The programmes are titled 2027, but the periods carry no year and no deadline date, and the July to October window is mostly past by 19 October 2026. American Express prints programme months, not application dates.
