I have been placed with Deloitte US, India. Does Deloitte sponsor foreign MBAs or say an MBA from ISB Hyderabad?
Yes, Deloitte US India has a program called Graduate School Assistance Program (GSAP). People opting for this program are rehired with promotion after they complete their MBA, and Deloitte pays the MBA fees. You can do your MBA from ISB Hyderabad through this program. There are other options available too such as IIMs, XLRI, MDI, SPJIMR, JBIMS, IIFT, NMIMS, IIT DoMS, and a few tier 2 and 3 schools.
If you are selected in GSAP, Deloitte will give you an initial sum of around INR 75k. You will have to resign and join MBA. At the time of placement Deloitte will make a full-time offer and hire you back at the next higher level from which position you resigned. If you join, Deloitte will pay your MBA fees in two installments.
To be eligible for the program, you need to have completed three years of service at the firm. You should have had high performance in the last 2 years' ends assessment cycles of the firm. You need to be at the Associate Analyst, Analyst, or Consultant level while applying.
If you fulfill the above criteria, you can apply for GSAP. The application is usually made available in December-January. You need to fill out a detailed form and get it approved by your counselor. Then you will have to decide the service line that you want to join back after completing your MBA and justify it. There will be a couple of interviews with Managing Directors or Senior Managers.
