The Kijang Graduate Programme (KGP) provides unique exposure to Bank Negara Malaysia's diverse roles in shaping the nation. We offer three tracks under this programme, namely the Graduate Analyst, the Supervision Graduate Analyst, and the Digital Graduate Analyst tracks.

The Graduate Analyst track gives you a broad understanding of central banking. Over the course of 18 months, you will rotate among the Bank's three sectors, allowing you to learn about the various career paths available which are:
