Hi Puneet,

I am sorry but I did not get you.I think u r assuming that after 7 years also ur salary will be 15 Lacs only (U r not considering any hike).

This is leadership programme and u r going to be peer or senior of people who will come from traditional MBA.

After 7 years nobody will ask about ur qualification and even if they will ask u have the degree of MBA in finance and banking from NIIT university.

I dont kno what u guys are thinking but experience matters most in any lateral switch.

I will give u one example- ST microelectronics is leading semiconductor company.They will recruiting only from top schools for technical openings.

They have B.Tech as mandatory qualification.

But they are so many who are working and doing very well in ST Microelectronics with only B.Sc. They have been recruited based on their experience.

Learning and maturity is always better in leadership programmes than that of college graduates.I have repeated this thing 100 times but I think people are having different view.

Just do some research on leadership programmes offered by blue chip companies and then compare the profile and career path with college graduates , u will get ur answer.

This is my personal view based on 2 years of my research.You can very well have different view.
Thanks

Even I agree with amit on the fact that leadership programmes are better than normal routine MBA's. This is the reason behind me prefering Gmat to CAT.Puyz if u want to select between an executive MBA and a Leadership Programme, Never hesitate to join in Leadership Programme as the kind of attire u get will be uniqe.But I am still in dialemmo as of to chose between 2 leadership programmes.One is ICICI and the other is PGPEX-VLM.So it would be great help for me if any of u suggest me for the best.

Yes dudee I have gone through the website.What u told is correct and the rest depends on how we can take it as a challenge.

@theja1986
what is this PGPLX-VEM programme......plz let me know about the same. I am very eager on joining MBA program this year itself.

Also guys i need help from you people. I have selected 3 programmes to apply for this year as im quite sure of not cracking this ICICI NIIT MBA( dont get angry on me for being pessimistic).
The prgrams are Executive MBA offered by Welingkar Mumbai, KJ Somaiya, SPM Gandhinagar, IMT Ghaziabad. I also have my i/v lined up for SP Jain GMBA Programme but im keeping that as the last option as the fees are quite high, nearly 24 lacs for a yr. Plz give me ur valuable suggestions, im in need of them.

And as far as BLP of SOIL is concerned do note that it is not having any accredition by any university. Same is also valid for ICICI MBA but do remember that here you will not have to shell out money from ur pocket and the programme is one of its kind.

Any idea about the bond period, after the completion of the course it is mentioned that a bond needs to be signed for 3 years, at the end of the 3rd years are we supposed to undergo Global leadership program and again sign a bond for 2 more years. Once you complete your bond period of 3 years can we join other bank or financial institutes, is there a clause in bond which prevents us from working in financial institutes for the next 3-5 years

Hi Puneet,

Sorry mate if I was harsh in my previous post.
You should be in dilemma.
One is for manufacturing sector another one is for finance and banking sector , u need to choose sector.
Prefer to choose sector based on ur interest only.
Go for VLM if u want ur career in manufacturing or else go for this.

Hai, I heard that after the completion of the course it is mentioned that a bond needs to be signed for 3 years, at the end of the 3rd years are we supposed to undergo Global leadership program and again sign a bond for 2 more years. Once you complete your bond period of 3 years can we join other bank or financial institutes, is there a clause in bond which prevents us from working in financial institutes for the next 3-5 years. Please help..

u r absolutely right palakkad... in the second half of the 3 yr you undergo a global leadership program,,then a promotion and bond for 2 yrs... i heard this from my bro in law who works as a manager with ICICI...

1.Do everyone has to go for Global Leadership Program... Or they will select few based on different criteria... ( i suspect they will select few)
2. Any idea about the duration of this GLP?
3. And also any clue about the minimum Hike after promotion 😉

Hope am not asking too much.

I think this question should be asked to CEO or Chairman.Even they cannot answer.

Cum on guys , how can we answer?

And if we are getting GLP after 3 yrs, that will be gud only.

You will be posted outside india after dat , then you can make so much money.

Which question out of the three you found out of the line
1. I never doubted on GLP neither did i said about it being Good or Bad... i believe it to be Good only and that's why wrote *only few will be selected*
2. As u mentioned you had a chat with some close guy in ICICI that's why i asked about the duration.. I dnt understand why it can't be answered
3. And the last one was meant to be for fun, guess you didn't noticed the 'wink' emoticon at the end of the Q

P.S am very much positive about this course and had made my mind way back to join, if selected

p.p.s i dnt know what made you upset from my previous post 😲

it doesnt matter to sign bond or not for 2 yrs after completion of 3 yr bond....as you can not leave ICICI even after 3 yrs(completion of bond). because loan payment is still due with ICICI and it wil take more 2 yrs to refund... There is clause which says.. after completion of bond period u can leave ICICI bt you hav to pay the remaining amount with higher interest rate(near abt 15%pa)...In normal cases there is no option to
payback loan amnt at once (discussed already in this forum.. plz go thru forum once again)
so program is designed in such a way-> (2 yrs MBA + 3yrs Bond period + 2 years more to refund rest of the amnt..) EMI ~ 10k

@ palakkad, @rakiish plz read page 50 onwards of this forum..most of ur questions wre already discussed there..

Hi Rakiish,

I think you took me in wrong way but I am very sorry sorry if I sounded like this.

I was not at all upset.I am just saying no need to think about that far even in fun.

1-If we will make our next 2 years in neemrana really count, then there is no going back.

2-Then we will focus for next 3 years.

3-Then after if GLP will come then we will go for that.

So now we should concentrate seriously or in fun , it should be first point.

I really like ur independent view.We will be gud frnds in neemrana.

@ amit.. no need to feel sorry.. as we are gonna future classmates, wahan dekhenge :)
actualy u guys took me wrong... my question was simple.. if anytime later, after 8-9 yrs, there is opening in ABC company (suppose) who is looking for candidate having MBA degree and some work ex... so my question was, will that ABC company treat our BLP-NU degree as usual MBA degree, if we apply..or we wil b treated as special MBAains..above all (kidding)
P.S: I am fully positive to the program, i have already talked to my manager regarding my resignation..so dont doubt in my intentions regarding ICICI-BLP

hey guys why u all fighting amongst urselves....chill till the results are out... my case is anyways hopeless....

yarr pehle result to nikal jaye... gabbar wali halat ho gayi
KAB HAI RESULT... KAB HAI RESULT

Guys, let me correct you.

This is 24%, not 15% clearly mentioned.

I have done calculation.

Even if you need to pay , you will have to pay only 80000 rs. extra.So this amount is very minimal.
