Standard Chartered Grad Scheme 2025

Hi all, I just thought I’d start SC Grad Scheme thread for 2025. I have applied for Global Credit Markets and have already done video interview. Looking at the discussion for last year, it’s going to be a long time I guess :/

Pymetrics is just games based assessment. Read the questions carefully you’ll have to play games and find out if there’s something odd or any pattern or probability. They just want to see how you react to different data sets, changes in data etc etc. it also might depend on position you’re applying for

for the roles, do you need to be a final year student? i.e being a student right now to be eligible?

Their ad is saying this "You’ll be a final year student, able to start full time employment in July 2025"

I think so. Else they mention graduated in last 2 years etc but it doesn’t say anything.

I was okay, I wouldn’t say difficult but needs attention to detail. I’m a bit dicey about my VI though because I fumbled a little bit in one of the answers. Did you do it already?

To be honest, I come under the ‘recent graduate’ category and still applied and did the HV and all. No clue if they are strict about it or not, always worth a try.

Nice one. Hopefully we hear back soon, but I wouldn’t even be surprised if there are no direct graduate roles since the grad roles always just get filled by interns anyways

How long does it take to hear back after you have completed the test?

I read somewhere that last year they sent an email to all selected people by Nov end or Dec Starting for next round. Those people didn’t hear anything in October and whole Nov until the end. I hope this year it’s not the same

Oh sorry. I got the email immediately after the game test, I think some people got it the next day as well but usually within 24 hours
