Guys i have some queries.
I'm pursuing a Dual Degree in chem engg from IIT Delhi.
1.Am i eligible for CFA Level 1 December exam or not?
2.And if i am will i be able to get through considering that i have no knowledge of finance?
3.I have been doing some research on FRM as well.Do u think it would be a good addition to my profile alongwith a CFA?

A swift reply would be appreciated
Thanks

FRM and CFA offer two different fields. One is purely concerned with risk managenet and other is inclined towards investment managenet. If you want to do a more client facing role then go for CFA and wnat to be a number cruncher and decision maker reportnig to top managenet then go for FRM.Do what you want to see yourself doing 5yrs hence. Its like comparing appels and oranges.
You can write it if you are in final year.
I have to clearly say No about your chances. If you feel comfortable with the link below then you may try but i advice you to take up some NCFM modules before attempting CFA L1. Also do the +2 accounts first.

Hi all,

I am Pankaj .. a software engg. by profession ... AND an FRM aspirant for Nov 2009 ....

I have gone through this thread ... excellent work by TUmTum and all ... cheers for all ....

Before I shoot my queries, let me disclose my profile ...

I'm currently workin for NSE and NCDEX (stock and commodity exchanges) in their RISK MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT as a SYSTEM ANALYST ...
I basically handle the backend code that does all those VAR and MTM calculations n all ....

It's been two years over there i joined as a fresher and I'm immensely keen into getting into risk management and related stuffss ...

Plus I have a latent penchant for Calculus n probability .... m not a bigshot in that but I like these ....

When I learnt of FRM n went thorugh its course structure ... it took my attention as its a complete package of the above ....

I know I'm a bit late for this year but still wud like to give it a shot ....

As I'm totally unaware of how to go about FRM, what do u all think, what should be my approach? Should I go for it or wait for May 2010 (Level 1)???

Is my profile inclined towards FRM or some other course life PRM(which too has got my attention) given the fact that I just want to be related to the RISK MANAGEMENT thing!!???

Which would suit me the best given my profile and my area of interest ???

Guide me puys ... it'd be gr8 .....
