ICICI Manipal Academy of Banking and Insurance is a joint venture of the ICICI Bank and Manipal University. It was inaugurated on 5 February 2008. The Academy has been set up to transform graduates into "smart bankers" in a year. It is a multi campus institution. The first two campuses have been established at Hyderabad and Bangalore. Some more campuses would be added in due course of time.
The Academy provides fully residential programmes to train selected probationary officers of the ICICI Bank. The thrust of training is to impart functional knowledge of general management and specialized knowledge of banking related subjects. Programme participants are put through a very rigorous training with emphasis on application of knowledge and overall development of personality. The training at the academy is supplemented with practical training in bank-branches.
The academy aims to impart young graduates with banking knowledge which are later absorbed into the banking industry by ICICI Bank, after completion of one year PGDB course. There have been several batches that have graduated from the academy & are contributing to the banking industry.
Famous novelist Nitya Prakash is an alumnus of ICICI Manipal Academy.
