  You still have some time to decide. I'm quite sure WIPRO will also train you on various technologies and in the next 3 months - you'll have ample time to figure out what type of future holds for you in your current company.
  
  I'm not sure how good a decision it will be to join Infosys only for 'training'. 4 months of job experience does not count. In fact, if you show that you broke your bond with Wipro - it's going to look 'bad'. If I were you and had made up my mind to join Infosys, I'd start afresh.
  
  It's too early to decide. Spend a month or two in your current company, talk to seniors in Wipro (about the growth options, kind of job, roles & responsibilities etc.) and see if BPM looks interesting. If you don't, you can easily join Infosys and start there. You're in a win-win situation any way. Rs. 75000 isn't much if you look at the choice you have and the overall impact it will have on your career.
  
  So the advice is - wait, keep your eyes open & learn. Let's talk about this about a month later so that we can hear your opinion and help you make a better decision.

  Thanks a lot for help sir.
  
  Sir, I did not get the meaning of "4 months of job experience does not count". Could you please elaborate?
  Sir, I have heared that Infosys training at Mysore increases your brand value. Is it true?
  Moreover, if I join Infosys after resigning from Wipro, will Infosys create any problem for me during their joining procedure, as technically I will no more be a fresh graduate?
  
  Regards

  See, breaking a bond is never advised. 4 months of 'work experience' won't count as a 'work experience' because there's no significant on the job learning during that time. If you've decided to join Infosys, better not to tell them about your Wipro joining. Join as a 'fresher'.
  
  There's no such thing as a 'brand value'. Your are judged not by the company for which you worked for - but the knowledge that you have, and the real knowledge and learning comes from self-study.
  
  If you tell Infosys that you've worked with WIPRO and broke the bond you signed with them, then it's not going to create a good impression for sure. Basically, in the industry < 2 years of experience won't really count as 'experience' at a fresher level.

  I got your point, sir. But I have also heared that if I leave Wipro, they will update my NSR (NASSCOM) profile saying that I have left it before the bond period. Is this true? If this happens Infy will automatically come to know about my joining Wipro, right? (Both Wipro & Infy had made it compulsory to register in NSR before joining)

  I'm not aware of the NSR registration whether it can be used to track your employment details. As I said, wait for a few days before you take a decision.
