Quote from the CFA website -> (same linke as above)

CFA website Says
Have a U.S. bachelor's (or equivalent) degree or be in the final year of your bachelor's degree program at the time of registration, scheduled to receive a bachelor's degree


If you still have not got, Then answer is 'Yes'. 😐

2. And I want to know how much would it cost for doing CFA........I downloaded all the CFA notes of Schweser for all the 3 levels from the net....

3. I came to know from some of the sources that CFA of CFAI cant be written in India...I am prepared to write it where ever it is possible
I am seriously seeking answer to these questions......answers provided on the internet arent so satisfactory......as you guys are writing CFA tests........

Hi bro

I had done a months research on cfa, n accompanying issues. I can understand that its hard to find the right person with all the knowledge but i've made an effort to shed light on every issue related to cfa. I'm giving level 1 attempt from dubai or nepal (final anwer comes on 26th august). Well let me anwer in points only.

1. U must have a min. work ex of 4yrs in finance to be eligible to get charter at the end of level 3. HR work ex is not valid. So i suggest u shift to finance as soon as u can. This way u'l learn about the practicalities involved in fin, and ur knowledge of finance will expand. It'll complement ur studying.
Also if it is possible to get the entire work ex shifted as finance it will help u immensely, if tht possible it will ease up the process of getting charter a lot. Try if its possible, most of the ppl arrange for such work ex using their contacts in HR, which i hope will be feasible in ur environment.

2. It costs slightly above Rs. 47000. Precisely $1078, and the conversion will be depending on current exchange rate. This is for level 1 only, for level 2 the cost is halved. Also the later u register the higher fees u will have to give. Till august 15 the price is $1078 and it will increase thereafter.
Can u tell me about the the schweser notes, even m looking for them, plz give me the details.

3. Cfa is in a dispute with icfai, the issue has been resolved with the final hearing of the court on 25th august. It has been approved to hold tests in india, only the decree is left to be pronounced. Still cfai is advising for choosing a centre abroad. If i get a well paying job i'l travel to dubai myself or else i'l travel to kathmandu to write this exam.

Hope is olves ur query!
Thanks n regards

Hi Bro, regarding centre, I think people who took level I in June, took exams in Mumbai...pl correct me if i am wrong ...if some one surely knows if we can take Mumbai as centre, please confirm here! ...

regarding Schweser notes, we in Mumbai take it from Vile Parle among many other shops...they are basically photocopies of original books and cost 1200 Rs...mebbe u will get same in Delhi too...

best regards 😃

I have downloaded the videos. I saw Economics' videos. I did not find them so much helpful. The presentation is not good. No prior introduction of the subject in the beginning. It was like, he was expecting to walk me at the birth. :shocked:
For engineers I am sure it won't be of a any use. Even for finance guys, I don't think it will be of much use. Prefer Schweser videos. I have heard they are good. I am trying to get my hands on them.

No. Your technical exp. will not be sufficient. And, it won't even be counted for CFA. Don't worry for work experience so much. Even clearing L-2 & L-3 means a lot & you can get a good job on that.

Ye, many engineers are doing CFA. (I am one of them ) I have gone through some of the material. You really need to put a lot effort into it.You may not understand a lot of notes. So you have to google those terms. Hurry, the fees are going to increase after 15th August. (In case you are preparing for L-1 Dec'0

Ya the senfinance vides are not that good..... But explanation for few of the concepts is good.......... Basically, I find books are more than sufficient for L1...... So dont run behind the videos.....
