hello

if you read thru some of the previous posts on this thread you will come to know about the scope for an engineer per se.
In case you are serious about a finance career, go for this course. Considering the costs involved and the difficulty, think about it.

Well you cud start off with quants and eco first.
Then finish off accounting portion. REad the basics of cash flows and balance sheets well before racing to the subsequent chapters in acounting.
After that u cud finish off with asset valuation of equity , derivatives and fixed-income investments.
Then do corporate finance and portfolio management. by doing corp fin and port. management now, your quant will get revised as well.
you can save the ethics portion for the last as u will have to mug them up.

i suggest you to go through this topic from start . It would benefit you more rather than expecting someone to answer in few lines.
it will take some time but then your question will be answered.

hi,
many people have asked abt CFA offer code... i think that it is only for the people who have failed or are reappearing.. may be CFA institute is offering some discount to them Kprofessionals: A Knowledge Professionals Community :: Professional Education :: CFA Offer Code

People also asked about various test centres. i think bankok should be the best suitable for people from india. for details refer to Kprofessionals: A Knowledge Professionals Community :: Professional Education :: Test Centre Choice : from Mumbai

if its true, I believe CFA Institute should give us option of changing the center and writing the test in India...
when do the results for december exam come out ???
what i need to know is that after clearing level 1 , would there be still time to register for cfa-2 by the second deadline in feb ;

The 2007 Dec L1 result was out on 23 rd Jan. Assume it to be the same next year, thereby giving you enough time to register before the Feb 15 deadline.
