UK FT IB Analyst background check - Change of master's university

During pre–FT Analyst start date background checks, is it ever frowned upon to have accepted a different competing 1-year master's offer to do your master's at a university that is different from the planned master's university that was initially stated your CV (almost 2 years prior) when you APPLIED for the INTERNSHIP that got converted into the full-time role for which resumption is near (change of university choice after the internship that was converted)?

Its fine, you usually upload your CV again. Had friends in a similar position and there's nothing wrong with it.
