Bonded JOB

Hello its Biprangshu Saha, presently working in Larsen & Toubro Limited in 'Graduate Engineer Trainee' Post , I have signed a 2 years of bond with a compensation of 2 Lakh of rupees. It’s about 7 month I am in this job.
Larsen & Toubro has 4 operating division 1) EBG-electrical business group.
2)HED-Heavy engineering division. 3)E&C-Engineering & Construction division
4) & Mechanical division.

Before that agreement it was told that I will be given choices to join above mentioned dept. After one month(one month for orientation program without having a OD ) of joining & aggreement signing our choice was asked I put my first choice to HED & 2nd choice to EBG & 3rd was E&C.I was not interested to E&C & Mechanical but I as told to priorities all the depts. But they did not take care of my choice & put me to E&C. I told to HR to change my dept. But they ignored. In the E&C I am given some estimation , costing for bidding related job in which I have least interest as I am a engineer & like to built my carrier with technical job .
I decided that I will quit & will have M.TECH degree. I worked hard & appeared in GATE (graduate aptitude test for engineer).I have cracked GATE with high score. Now I want to leave L&T.

I have heard in India bonded job are not allowed, 2 nd thing one sided bond are not allowed etc.
I think that was one sided bond as there was not any demand entertained from our side, even in which dept we want to work.

Please help me out, is it possible to break the bond.
