To be really honest? It's really not that hard. Their MA program is prestigious like any other banks' MA program. But grad program and MA are on a whole different level. Why do you think the grad program is created for ops and tech. Because no one in the right mind in a MA program wants to be stuck doing ops or tech work. They have the same basic requirement but the GA program are just picking off the bones of whatever is left after the MA (and other banks MA) has taken the choice parts.

Even the selection is slipshod. 1 virtual interview and 1-2 panel interviews? MA has to go through half day or full day assessment centres before even being considered for panel interviews. I mean come on even ntuc fairprice managment trainee selection was more interesting than this.
