Hi,
Probationary Officer Training Programme is an initiative of ICICI Bank to attract young talent who wish to pursue a career in banking. It is designed to develop specialists with banking knowledge and skills to fulfill the future need of trained bankers.
The training imparts knowledge and skills in core banking (banking products,banking operations, channels and customers, receipts and payments, etc). The trainees will have the opportunity to specialize in one of the following areas in banking:
i) Trade Finance
ii) Privilege Banking
iii) Rural Inclusive Banking
iv) Retail Banking
If you are willing to pursue a career in banking, then you may go ahead.
As a friend, I'll not suggest you the above. Stick with CA profession. If at all you wish to explore more, go with CFA or may be MBA Finance somewhat later.
The opportunities for Chartered Accountants are varied:
Independent professional practice

Hi Niraj,
No, it is not necessary to do graduation. You just need to clear both groups of IPCC and complete 2.5 years of articleship training before appearing in CA final exams. However students generally go for graduation along with CA because of the following reasons :
- it acts as a protection when students are not sure about clearing their CA exams.
- it also adds a degree to their C.V
You can do your graduation from IGNOU, NSOU, University of Madras and Bharthiar University. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ( ICAI ) has entered into MOUs with these universities because of which students doing CA will be exempted from giving certain papers of graduation.
For updates, go to ICAI website.
All the best. Hope u make it big. :)
