You will undergo a 12-14 months intensive residential classroom training and internship with a stipend.
The PO training is a “cashless bridge” to managerial jobs for aspiring students.
To pursue the PO training, the interested students will have to invest Rs. 2.50 lacs which would be provided by ICICI Bank as a subsidized loan at an interest rate of 2.5% p.a. [Service Tax on the loan amount will be paid by the probationary officer].
On successful completion of the training & internship, the POs will be absorbed as Assistant Managers in the Bank. The EMIs for the loan would start once the POs have joined the bank. There would be no recovery of EMIs or interest during the training period, the interest accrued during this period would be recovered along with the normal EMIs. The EMIs are spread over a period of 60 months to ensure that there is minimal impact in the monthly earnings of the PO.
On successful completion of 60 months of service, the loan amount would be paid back to the PO.
However, if the applicant leaves during training / within 5 years of joining ICICI Bank after training, ICICI Bank would recover the interest at market rate on the entire ICICI Bank Probationary Officer Recruitment loaned amount for the period that the amount was loaned to the PO, plus the outstanding loan.
The Loan Agreement will have to be signed by the PO soon after joining the Campus. However, the PO will have to get the Guarantor form ready before joining the campus for training.
The gross salary on joining the Bank after training will be more than Rs. 3.5 Lakhs per annum.
5. How do I as a PO stand to benefit as far as the cost of training is concerned?
Despite the Rs, 2,50,000/- being paid by the PO, it is a CASHLESS BRIDGE for him since
· The loan is being extended by ICICI Bank at subsidized interest rate of 2.5 % p.a.
· No EMIs/Interest will be recovered during the training period when the PO would be paid stipend/scholarship (Rs. 2500/- during class room training phase of 9 months & more than Rs. 10,000/- during Internship phase of 3 months) to meet out of pocket expenses.
· The EMI/Interest recovery starts only from the 1st salary drawn by the PO on joining the bank after completion of the training & internship.
· The salary for the PO at the grade that he/she would be joining (Asst. Manager Band I) has been adequately increased to cater for the payment of loan EMI of approximately Rs. 4,500/- per month.
· On successful completion of 60 months of service with ICICI Bank, the loan amount (Rs. 2,50,000) would be paid back to the PO.
6. What would be the implications if I were to leave/resign from the PO training anytime due to unforeseen circumstances?
If, for any reason whatsoever, you leave during training / leave within 5 years of joining ICICI Bank after training, ICICI Bank would recover the interest at market rate on the entire loaned amount for the period that the amount was loaned to the PO, plus the outstanding loan.
· e.g. PO leaves the after 3 months of joining the training. He would be required to pay Rs. 2,50,000 + Interest @ 15 % p.a. for 3 months (15% is the prevailing market rate of interest)
· e.g. If a PO leaves 4 months after joining the Bank after completion of the 1 year training he would be required to pay
ICICI Bank Probationary Officer Recruitment
Rs. 2,50,000 + Interest @ 15 % p.a. (current market rate) for 16 Months (12 months training + 4 months as employee) – EMIs/Interest already paid.

The procedure for this will be explained in your Invitation Letter. This amount will be refunded to you on completion of 90 days training at the Academy. However, if you do not join the training after confirmation or leave the training within 90 days of joining, this amount will be forfeited.
