Morale is very low among the existing pool and many are planning to resign since they have little chance to be posted back to do real consultant work.

I think this may be somewhat correct. Management Consulting Associate or first year Business Analyst positions generally require at least a completed undergraduate degree. The position is EY's Management Consultant, Advisory role and lists Diploma holders as eligible for the position. The job description also seems to largely suggest a lot of grunt work. If you are interested in consulting, perhaps look towards Deloitte Consulting (strategy and ops) and PwC's consulting function. Those two are the more recognised among the big 4. There, associates generally work in functional teams on projects that lasts anywhere between 3-6 months on average.
Have a look at .managementconsulted.com or .vault.com for more information. Just note that the information there is mainly catered to U.S. consulting positions, but on a broad scale it is quite relatable to the environment here.
