Re: Need some Opinions on CFA. - 11-03-2008, 10:23 AM

Hey I have a problem and it will be great if you can help me out.
I am from iit kgp enrolled in dual degree program in dept of electronics right now in 4th yr. I want to take cat 08 and pretty sure of getting through it but I have a very poor acadmic background ( cgpa 6.3/10 ) and almost nil internship exp. My interview skills ( better say overall spoken english ) are not even avg.So some friends of mine are suggesting that If I could clear CFA level 1 exam than it can be a good defence for the poor acadmic performance .I am in no position to judge the veracity of their claims and hence asking you as you must be knowing A to Z of all these things.So my question is---
1. Does this CFA thing counts at iim and if yes then by what proportion?
2.what is the weight of HR part of interview ?
Please answer me as soon as possible as I have only 3 more days left to enroll for CFA Exam.
Thanks in advance
Regards kapil

1.) Yes CFA thing counts but it will be very difficult to clear
since only three months left + you are studying at IIT and mid sem and end sem are appraching very fast + you have to prepare for CAT also
at the same time I am not sure you will be allowed since you are not in final year of the programme.

2.) 20-40 % you can also visit IIM websites

Lots of points to make:
1.Taking the CFA in just to impress the IIM interview panel to put it bluntly is quite daft.IIM interviewers are quite experienced and look for maturity in the candidates and taking a long term course just to polish your resume for an IIM interview does not show a lot of maturity.They will undoubtedly grill you on your future plans and the the reasons for doing a CFA and if this is the reason that you are going to provide then you can say goodbye to the IIM seat.
2.To appear for the CFA you need to complete your college education ,since you are in a 5yr course and have done 4 years they may allow you to appear but you need to check up on that.
3.Passing the L1 in the CFA is in no way going to make up for your poor acads at IIT ,academic performance over 5 years will carry far more weightage than passing an exam that requires 2 months of rigorous study.
4.And as they say "There is many a slip between the cup and the lip" ,first of all bag those IIM calls and then start speculating ,with this kind of GPA the way IIM calls are being sent you would most probably fail to get shortlist at IIM B &L unless you score a 100%ile ,doing a CFA will not show up on your application form. I do not mean to be rude and discouraging but you need to diversify your options than putting all your eggs in the IIM basket
