Abstract: The CAMELS rating system is a globally recognized tool used to assess the financial health of banks based on six dimensions: Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management Efficiency, Earnings, Liquidity, and Sensitivity to Market Risk. This study introduces a conceptual CAMELS evaluation framework using hypothetical data from three fictional banks to demonstrate the model’s functionality and educational value. The framework utilizes fabricated financial ratios to assign ratings across each CAMELS component, presented through visual aids like bar charts and radar plots. Unlike traditional applications, this model is designed for academic and pedagogical use rather than regulatory enforcement. It simplifies complex concepts for educational settings, aiding in the understanding of how CAMELS components influence a bank's composite score. The study also addresses limitations and future possibilities, such as incorporating qualitative factors and real-time data simulations, making it a practical learning tool in banking education programs.
