If your bank allows you unpaid leave, then no need to resign. I recommend you to avail this opportunity. Any news from Commonwealth Scholarship 2012?

Im also business graduate and i'd applied for MBA. Didn't you ask IPC about which university you've been allotted? They will dispatch letters in the next week and everyone will know for sure
Are you working with private or public sector? I think you should avail this opportunity because country jo marzi ho international exposure international exposure he hota hai, anyhow final decision rests with you.
Best of luck

peking, fudan and university of international business and economics

i have resigned from bank and now joined NAB, and i dont think they are going to allow leave specially when we are still going through training and not even completed our probation period
yes they said they are going to dispatch letters within few days and no i didnt ask about university name, but i asked them if i can personally come and take my letter myself as i am in Islamabad, they said that i can collect it on friday, and we will have to sign a deed/ agreement too.
i am doing job in public sector and you are right about exposure but when i tell any one about scholarship at china they take it as something funny

when you get your package do tell which institute you are selected for. What sort of agreement we are supposed to sign? is it some sort of bond or what. Well getting job in a public organisation in Pakistan is a hard nut to crack but even then i would suggest you to go for the scholarship.
China is not as bad as we think. It is so because we have developed a sense about China because of its products we use here in Pakistan. Even this is not fault of China, it sends what importer/ our people demand. You can check ranking of Chinese universities,. Many of them are ranked among good universities in world ranking. I would suggest you to avail the opportunity and don't listen to what people say. At the end of the day its one's skills, talent and confidence which leads to secure a good job and by having international exposure,even from China, i believe one can develop all such traits.

I called IPC today......
They said i am in. (Thanks to Allah Almighty and all praise to his highness)
They will tell about the universities after a week's time.
It is the most wonderful thing going to happen to those selected, think you are the choosen ones, the special ones, the selected few beings who had what it requires to be............My pray to all here plz avail this wonderful opportunity destiny has thrown towards you.
Stay Blessed and in contact.
