Selection Procedure
The M.B.A. admission process inevitably starts off with an entrance test. This is
basically a sieving process. This process is relative in nature rather than based on
individual scores i.e., if the general level of performance in a particular test is very
good a student who has done average may not be selected, whereas if the general
performance level is fair the student who has turned in an average performance may
be among the ones selected.
The format for the entrance test for the different schools/universities/ institutes
varies. Each institute also changes its format frequently. However the overall range
of abilities the entrance tests seek to test, remains more or less unchanged.
The aim of the entrance tests is to evaluate under stress, a candidate's general,
verbal, mathematical and analytical abilities which are critical for the M.B.A.
courses and a career in management. The management entrance tests calls for a
superior hold on the English language, quantitative prowess and sharp perceptive
mind. The entrance tests are constructed keeping the structure of the management
course in mind. Since the management course is grounded in mathematical
reasoning the test is designed to keep out those who are shaky with numbers. The
importance of command over the English language is related to the factor of
communication skills. Case studies have to be written, analysed and lectures have to
be followed in English which calls for a good command of the language. The
entrance tests seek to locate candidates who have the ability for creative and logical
reasoning revealing a decisive and perceptive mind.
The entrance test for an M.B.A. course is not in the nature of an IQ test devised by
psychologists; they are more in the nature of aptitude tests. Although aptitude for
something cannot really be created, at the same time it can definitely be built up an
intelligent and concerted effort.
All entrance tests are objective-type multiple-choice tests. The following elements
are generally included in an M.B.A. entrance test:
Final Selection
Candidates who qualify the first round of selections or the written test are called for
the final round of selections - Group Discussion and Personal Interview.
During the process of the group discussion, a candidate's leadership qualities are
assessed, his/her interaction with the group is observed along with his confidence
level and the quality of what he contributes to the discussion. A candidate appearing
for the interview for the final selection for an M.B.A. course faces an interview
board consisting of experts and specialists from the management institute and
industry. Brush up your General Knowledge, be confident about your personal
academic profile, likings, aspirations, strengths, goals and hobbies. Read a financial
paper regularly some months before the interview so that you have information on
the corporate world. If your opinion is sought try to give a balanced view.
Placements
The employment scenario for the management graduates is brightest for the premier
institutes. Top companies, multinationals, financial institutions, and banks wait
eagerly to sign them up even before they have completed their programme, on the
basis of their ongoing performance, academic record and performance in the campus
interviews. Fresh management graduates in top companies start their working life
with salaries upwards of Rs.25,000 and their remunerations and perquisites rise as
they learn how to go about adding value to their organisation's business.
The number of service industry management jobs is likely to be high compared to
the number of good-producing industry jobs. All managers plan, organise and
control the major functions of an organisation-be it the automobile manufacturer, the
department store, the local bank branch or the CEO of the MNC.
The spread of job opportunities of an MBA spans many industries and varied
organisations. With the vast range of jobs under its purview it is impossible to
generalize about prospects. However, one thing is certain that there is a serious
shortage of good managers although the entry to management jobs remains very
competitive.
Progress in any sector of the economy would automatically require professional
managers to handle the growth-hence the need for management graduates will
continue to be felt.
A Career in Management
Levels of responsibility
In any business organisation there are a series of management positions
from the top to the bottom. The amount of authority and status of any
managerial position is determined by the level of management. Broadly,
there are three levels of management -- top, middle and lower. In the top
management level we have the board of directors, chief executives and the
departmental heads. These people provide leadership to the organisation
and establish overall long-term goals. The middle level management
consists of the departmental managers who receive orders, suggestions
and decisions from the top management and convey them to the lower
level for implementation. The lower level management is responsible for
day-to-day working of the organisations.

As per the scheme, the exercise price of ICICI Bank's options is the
last closing price on the stock exchange which recorded highest trading
volume preceding the date of grant of options. Hence, there is no
compensation cost in year ended March 31, 2007 based on intrinsic value
of options. However, if ICICI Bank had used the fair value of options
based on the Black-Scholes model, compensation cost in year ended March
31, 2007 would have been higher by Rs. 827.4 million and proforma
profit after tax would have been Rs. 30,274.8 million. On a proforma
basis, ICICI Bank's basic and diluted earnings per share would have
been Rs. 33.91 and Rs. 33.72 respectively. The key assumptions used to
estimate the fair value of options.
The options were exercised regularly throughout the year and weighted
average share price as per NSE price volume data during the year ended
March 31, 2007 was Rs. 750.58 (March 31, 2006: Rs. 531.34).
Preference shares
For these preference shares, the notification dated April 17, 2002 from
Ministry of Finance, Government of India, issued on the recommendation
of Reserve Bank of India (RBI), under Section 53 of the Banking
Regulation Act, 1949, had exempted the Bank from the restriction of
Section 12(1) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, which prohibits the
issue of preference shares by banks, for a period of five years. The
Bank has applied to RBI for making a recommendation to Central
Government for continuation of such exemption.

million has been transferred from IFR account to Revenue and other

exposure above 15% and no group borrower exposure above 40% of capital
funds.
As per the extant RBI guidelines, the country exposure of the Bank is
categorised into various risk categories listed in the following table.

does not exceed 1% of the total funded assets, no provision is required
to be maintained on country exposures as on March 31, 2007.
During the year ended March 31, 2007, RBI increased the requirement of
general provisioning to 2% on standard loans relating to personal
loans, loans and advances qualifying as capital market exposure, credit
card receivables, advances to non-deposit taking systemically important
non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and commercial real estate
loans. On standard loans for residential housing beyond Rs. 2.0
million, the provisioning requirement has been increased to 1 % from
the earlier level of 0.4%. In accordance with the revised RBI
guidelines, a general provision of Rs. 7,310.0 million has been made
during the year ended March 31, 2007. The provision on standard assets
held by the Bank in accordance with RBI guidelines was Rs. 12,948.3
million at March 31, 2007 (March 31, 2006: Rs. 5,638.3 million).
The Bank had implemented an Early Retirement Option Scheme 2003 for its

(March 31, 2006: Rs. 5,535.3 million).
Subvention Income
The Bank had aligned its accounting policy for subvention income with
its accounting policy for direct marketing agency/associate expenses
in the year ended March 31, 2006. Accordingly, subvention income has
been accounted for in the period in which it is received instead of
over the period of the loan. As a result of the change in policy, the
impact on profit for the year ended March 31, 2006 was not significant.
Derivatives
The net overnight open position at March 31, 2007 was Rs. 1,279.7
million (March 31, 2006: Rs. 457.8 million).
The notional principal amount of Rupee IRS contracts at March 31, 2007

2,389,261.3 million for trading contracts (March 31, 2006: Rs.
1,870,025.6 million).
Associated credit risk is the loss that the Bank would incur in case
all the counter-parties to these swaps fail to fulfil their contractual
obligations. At March 31, 2007, the associated credit risk on trading
rupee interest rate swap contracts was Rs. 37,605.4 million (March 31,
2006: Rs. 16,754.4 million).
Market risk is monitored as the loss that would be incurred by the Bank
for a 100 basis points change in the interest rates.

contracts amounted to Rs. 844.4 million (March 31, 2006: Rs. 1,192.3
