Sorry, I am very dumb, can tell me which private uni they are from? :(

After all, there's UOL, RMIT, Kaplan, etc. :(

They lucked out bigtime because not only do they get to join a grad talent programme in a bank, their pay is also the same as their local uni peers with the same class of honours as them and in the same programme.

help la OCBC is trash and their GTP (rebranded from YBP) is trash too. it's not even the top 10 choices for most business grads.

Again, there are some (not majority of course) private uni grads on BBs (think JP/DB) & other foreign banks (think SCB) grad schemes.

Definitely. But the number is really really small, and it has got to do with the individual drive and motivation and not the school.

Personally, I would take a 2nd upper UOL with decent exp/extra curricular over a 2nd lower local uni grad with little to no exp.
