1. Since the exam centre is not available in India for Dec-2011, is there any chance that there might be a list minute declaration that tha exam would be conducted in India.?

2. Is IT sector experience accounted as work ex for CFA.?

3. Will 5-6 months suffice to clear the CFA level 1 exam.?

Regards,
Pratik.

Dude, Work-ex is for getting CFA charterholder designation, not for writing CFA exams. 4 yrs of work-ex is required, need not be at a stretch, 1 yr, gap, 3yrs or anything like that is also acceptable.
You can find relevant work-ex on CFA website.

Hi,

in June exam was conducted in India else Indians were having option of switching center / refund.

But as you mentioned in Dec 2011 no center in India...dose that mean its not there at all in center selection?
And even if India gets added later then can we switch center?
Was the same case happened for June 11 exam as well?

Or is it they gave India as centre options and later due to doubts announcement on shifts and refunds came in?

as of now they might not be showing India as a center.. but they will mostly put it at a later stage as happened in last year dec and this year June L1 exam..
you can then change your center..
refunds? I dont think they refund your money in any circumstances.. you can just defer your exam if there is some special case..

Hi everyone...

Found it hard to understand the Bayes' Formula in Probability.
If someone could throw some light on the concept or share a link that would explain that, it would be helpful..

Hi,

i am considering the idea of pursuing a CFA course, and i`m looking for some inputs and opinions from ppl who are already CFAs or are currently pursuing CFA or have some knowledge of CFA. i want to pursue MBA in finance in fall (august) 2007 from US..and i wish to do some finance course in the meantime to get a hang of finance.

i`m an engineer and i have no workex or education in finance. so basically i`m looking for the following things from any course that i do:

1. Since i dont have a degree in finance or wokex in finance, i might face difficulty finding jobs in US after MBA. So i`m looking for a course should help me get good internships and jobs in the US during summers or after mba.

2. The course should have some international respect and recognition. while courses from IGDIR, ICFAI, NMIMS are quite good, they are unknown in US. i need an international course which companies in the US will recognize.

3. Lot of my classmates (from engineering) who`ve done MBA finance complain that finance is a completely different field and they find it hard to cope up with so many new concepts. So i`m looking for a course that would give me enough knowledge in advnace to cope up with the complex financial concepts during MBA.

4. In a US mba, most classmates generally have several years of related work ex. so the course should also make me strong enough to be compete with them academically and bring me at par with them in terms of financial knowledge.

after a little research, i have found that the course that best fits the above four requirements is CFA. What do u guys think? Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions in this regard? should i go ahead with CFA? or should i look for something else? is there any better option than CFA in my situation? is CFA managable for someone with a degree i engineering and work ex in IT? i have good knowledge of stock markets and have studied some NCFM modules. i understand derivatives and bonds, and a little bit of mutual funds and investment products. in this situation..can i manage a CFA or will it all be bouncers over my head?

i have heard that CFA is a pretty tough course and requires a lot of effort in terms of studies and preparation. i dont mind putting in any amount of effort or number of hours of study. i just wanna know how feasible it is for a person like me. thanks for any help!

hi,
If still interested to know more please let me know.............

hey
i would like to have some info regarding cfa programs.

i have went through the site. do i have to sign up for each level seperately? like sign up for level 1 now, and after finishing the exam and clearing it, sign up for level 2?


secondly, what is the system to get course material? i sign up for the exam first, and then order material? or is everything done in one go?


thanks in advance for your replies
