Hi Guys.. if someone is going through a dilemma whether to go for CFA or FRM (as i was going though a couple of months back) here's a nice blog that should help you decide.

Hi folks,

I have decided to give the CFA(usa) course .Which calculators do i need to buy. the CFA site says two calculators .

Do I need to buy both of them .If I can buy one , then which one is better? Also where to buy and the approx price...

Thanks a lot,
chirag

Chirag, you don't need to buy both of them... You can buy the TI BAII Plus Professional.. It is a slightly more enhanced version of the BAII Plus...

You can order it from Cranes Software (Cranes Software - Contact Us). They are the authorized distributors for TI products in India.
There will be a lot of redundancy in your finance courses which you will do in PGDM. But then PGDM (finance) is not all about finance. First year courses cover all the areas. So you'll learn a lot about the various fields. And the experience of doing an MBA is much better than studying for CFA exams by yourself. They just can't be compared. The experience of working in a team, the various competitions and events that will happen, competing with other students in acads, sports etc... You won't get all this while doing your CFA.
I had the same question some time back but then realized that it makes a lot of sense to do both. Many top companies encourage their employees to take up CFA. So you might well have to do it later. It's better to do it now and then be one of the FIN studs in college 😃
Looking forward to hear from others regarding this.

like level1 is possible with gr8 efforts by self study
but, for level 2 and level 3 , its not a cakewalk

hey people,
Need some expert advise. I have done indian CFA, and have passed 2 levels of CFA from AIMR, US. Appearing level 3 in june 2010.
Planning to do an MBA soon. Wanna know whether CFA qualification gives me a competitive edge and would be given a due consideration by premier MBA institutes??
Awaitng for your expert advise.
Thank you.

Yes it will give you competitive edge, but that alone would not suffice. You have to live upto the reputation during your interview round

cheers

17 Feb '10 is the 2nd deadline when you would be charged 1110 USD

and the 3rd deadline is 17 march '10 when you would be charged 1435 USD

ok i have a doubt. Can FINAL year students pursue CFA ? or its only possible once you are graduated ?

It would be great if someone could clear my doubt
