2 be really frank mate, wen i strtd off in 2004, i sorta became a laughing stock...things were quite different thn bt da picture has changed big time in 4 yrs...since i've got into TAPMI as a fresher n am taking up any job till now, so wont have any experiences 2 share wid u...but i knw lotsa ppl wrking in HSBC Hedge Funds - Portfolio Valuations...n they have immense job satisfaction...they r getting arnd 20K which is damn gud i suppose if ur just a b.com grad...other things depend on da rest of ur profile 2...believe me, i got an sms just 2 dayz bak frm ICICI Prudential...they r offering me a job of 25K...my mouth simply watered but i've already got into mba...but cfa's r getting a lot of value...

CFA rocks!!!:rockon:

u gotta get 220/400 to clr a particular level...u need 90/200 in each subject & 40/100 in each paper...in case u fail to clr 1 particular subject, thn i u can manage 2 get 130/200 in the othr subject; u r exempted from tht subject...in tht case u just need to give the othr subject next time which u can give along wid da next level...

Well with the old CFA(msf) the pass percentage is drastically low(less than 10%)..tough i have got not much idea regarding the new one .it seems to be a bit shorter one..Again another thing to notice is since its a distance learning prog many people think that of a conventional distance learning program and they dont take it that seriously

no dude, i guess u got me wrong...i din say tht icfai cfa wont have value...it definitely has...but i dun think u will have much motivation of doing it aftr u complete ur mba...das y i said tht it'll be a better idea 2 do level-1 of international cfa in da 2nd yr of ur mba (if feasible) which will have gr8er value addition 2 ur profile during placerments.
As far as my case goes, i have already completed till kappa (6/9 levels) and i gave lambda in april...hoping 2 clr it...so i'll definitely be completing my course, no matter wat...n i'll try my best 2 givel level-1 of int cfa during my mba...at least i intend 2...lets c wats in store!!!
ATB!!!
can anyone tell me how to get enrolled for icfai cfa.please give full process.
thanx a lot!

helo

Hello all

I have some major doubts regardin this CFA from ICFAi..
1- Hyd inst is not offering this course anymore right???Isnt it the tripura Univ that is offering this course now???ANd yes the Duration has changed from 3 yrs to 1.5 yrs..

2-How diffcult is this course?? I mean how gud the Standard is??
WAt is d pass percentage???

Pl waitin for some replies...

yes IUT, Tripura is giving MFA. You can no more take admission into MS (Finance) from ICFAI, Hyderabad now. You can now acquire CFA through MFA.

You are right, 6 groups translates into 1.5 yrs (18 months)

hi jatin, in which level u r nw? i ve seen ur reply..ya i knw abt d changes bt can u plz tell me 1 thing...does it mean d value of d degree has also been changd???
:confused::confused::confused::confused:

you have enrolled for MS (Finance) or CFA Program?? Both are completely different. I can put it in this way......the new course is far more focussed than older one. Financial Risk Mgt, Strategic Financial Mgt, M&A; and lot more subjects are not there. Regarding the change in value, its too early to actually comment. I however can only tell you that the knowledge you would get at the end of it would be different. Change in value would be known over a period of time
