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.

Famous quotes containing the words academy, banking and/or insurance:
“When the State wishes to endow an academy or university, it grants it a tract of forest land: one saw represents an academy, a gang, a university.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One of the reforms to be carried out during the incoming administration is a change in our monetary and banking laws, so as to secure greater elasticity in the forms of currency available for trade and to prevent the limitations of law from operating to increase the embarrassment of a financial panic.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Women hock their jewels and their husbands’ insurance policies to acquire an unaccustomed shade in hair or crêpe de chine. Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise? One is led to suspect that the interest people show in these much talked of commodities, painting, music, and writing, cannot be very deep or very genuine when they so wince under an unexpected impact.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
