Ahh the diploma programme, I saw a whole bunch of them during one of the compulsory compliance trainings held. Well they are rotated through a few back office operations departments after which they will join one of em.

Sad to say prospects and pay/increment etc for the diploma programme is quite limited as it follows the special grade clerk track. Best is to go take a degree after that and upgrade.


As for the AIBD question, they handle mainly investment banking or commodity trade products. Career advancement and bonus in those units are generally quite good compared to other parts of the bank.
