If you have a grudge just update and upgrade your curriculum and make it so that people choose you over others.. Nice to know that we can get ISB closed down but not CFA opened up.. Weird world we live in..
icfai is an organisation concerned with profit and so is cfa(usa)... only thing is that cfa is very well recognised and not icfai... infact cirriculum wise icfai is wider then cfa(but all indian courses have those bulky cirriculum rather then the practical orientation)... so lets not talk abt curriculum... and ethically (pls note thats one of the most important aspect of the finance profession) both have not performed upto the expectation(though cfa has the upper hand because of its recent conduct)... icfai n aimr both are good n none have those fake degrees(its only recognition)... Here the major culprit (according to me) is our regulatory and judicial system...they let them exploit the loopholes for their own means...

Any idea when to expect a decision. There have been no updates from CFAI or the courts for a very long time...
