ICICI Business Leadership Programme - Min 3 Yrs Work Ex Required

@nkme2007 - It makes sense if one thinks in that way that whether the MBA given is worth in the industry. But personally I believe, once you have worked in ICICI for atleast 3 years till the bond period ends, then the degree should not matter, instead your career in ICICI should speak more than the degree itself. Its good to have a big name behind you as your alma-mator but I do not think it matters a lot. This is totally my thinking.

But, a degree from IIMs or ISB will always have its own credits forever, ryt?

What should i expect in d written exam?From where sud i prepare?

@nkme2007 - We can argue on this topic for the whole day and still not reach a consensus, so better to leave at that.
The only advantage I feel one might get studying from IIM's or an ISB is a whole circle of friends and alumni's who will be holding good positions in very good firms which can help you professionally in future.
@vpin3515 Okay!! That's fine.
I'll have experience of 2 yrs of 10 months on 1st april 2012, do i stand any chance of passing the eligibility criterion:
@jindalsusheel - As per my knowledge you should not apply. Even if you apply they will definitely reject you this time, because the foremost criteria for joining this course is an experience of 3 years and more.
Hence please do not apply now. As there are 2 intakes every year, you can apply for the Oct 2013 batch. They will call for applying in May 2013 for the Oct 2013 batch.

Why do you need to skip from a govt job to private job??
@gangula556

1. ICICI Bank takes twice in a year (April & Oct )
2. You can apply if U are completing your three year before 22nd April 2013 (Before begin of prog)
3. First batch is still in final phase of internship. But this would be min if selected for prog.
4. Its very simple. time is only a single factor which everybody needs to keep in mind.
5. I request you to focus on first rounds . We will discuss later for interviews.

Good luck you guys.

In today's Ad in TOI , I saw that apart from the regular domains ofspecialization they have added Commercial Banking too.Can anybody please advice on what basis the specialization is offered to a candidate..?After seeing this specialization Commercial Banking, I am quite apprehensive about this course.As far as my knowledge is Commercial Banking is all about Loans.Please advice & correct me if I am wrong here.Please refer the Ad published--Under Programme Structure..Point 2nd-->"A comprehensive management programme focussing on developing expertise in finance and banking in the domains of Corporate Banking , Commercial Banking, Risk Management and Information Technology"
There are a lot of products/services offered to commercial banking clients. pl google it.

As far as I know you will be placed in Corporate/risk/Technology. Pl go to ICICI Carrers for more details abt the prog.

Hi ,I just saw the Ad in Times of India today regarding this course and it is really exciting to see such a course. Actually I am preparing for GMAT and will give it by end of December and I am going to try for universities abroad. But after seeing this course structure its really an exciting course as one gets to do Internships along with the course curriculum. They are providing not one but 2 internships, that too for 6 months each. Also the MBA in Finance thing is really encouraging, since even if I manage to do my MBA from any other university abroad, I might not end up doing Finance oriented course and hardly one can get a 3 to 6 months internship in abroad.Since I wanted to do an MBA course and major in Finance I am really excited to apply for this course in NIIT-ICICI BLP program. But I have certain doubts regarding the course. If time permits please answer my queries.1) Will the MBA in Finance course valid once we come out of working with ICICI after 3 years?2) I am an Engineering graduate with 6+ years of experience in IT-Software, 10th-87%, 12th- 93% and UG- 71%. Do I stand a chance in getting a call for this course considering I have no background on finance apart from a project which I was involved in the software company I was working with.3) It seems to be like this time around the BLP program does not have an entrance test as well as GD round. Can you confirm with someone maybe a professor to confirm about these tests whether they exist or not.4) According to my understanding there are 3 different streams that we can select in the 5th and 6th terms of the BLP course they are Global banking, Risk Management and IT.Since I am very much interested in Risk Management part of the course, can I pursue the risk Management part in the terms 5 and 6 and get a career based on Risk Management in ICICI Bank despite having an IT background for 6 years.Regards, Vipin
1. Yes it will be valid as it is given by an University which is formed under state act.
2. You have a strong chance of getting a call. Basic knowledge of finance can be tested in interview.
3. Written & GD will be there in Jan 2013.
4. Yes, you can get. Some of my batch mates got the same which had similar profile as yours. It depends on your 1st term grades, Psychometric test (once you selected in written).

I hope I have cleared your doubts. Good luck buddy :)
