I see from your profile that you work for Infy.
I have heard this "we have incurred training costs on you, so you have to work for us for one year" argument before.
AFAIK, this was put in place to deter people who fit your profile to a T (newly minted grad, wanting to go abroad to study).
It will be interesting to see the parts of the employment document which talks about this "expectation" to repay their training.
IANAL, but training a new employee is part of the cost borne by the employer. So, they are not doing any favours to you by giving you that.
These "agreements" are mostly verbal threats ("we will not give you release docs", "we will not provide you with a experience certificate" and of course "you have to pay US" etc.,).
If you want any/all of this for your resume, you have no other way than to tough it out for another few months. Hey, we all know what probationers do in the first year in Infy :D
Or, if you really want to study, forget that you ever worked for Infy and don't bother to mention it on your resume. Of course, this is not palatable for anybody who wants a "clean" resume in India. And, if you have joined Infy, you might be one of them.

Good luck.
