IF YOU DOING USA CFA THEN WILL HAVE VERY GOOD SCOPE..BUT THE MARKET IS VERY BAD NOW SO YOU WAIT AND DECIDE TO DO CFA....ITS HAVE 3 LEVELS AND ITS VERY GUD COURSE....BUT AFTER MARKET IMPROVE YOU CAN TAKE THIS COURSE....... DONT TAKE ICFAI ONE,, IF YOU WANT TO DO THEN TAKE USA ONE, BUT NOT THIS TIME WAIT FOR SOME TIME....

If you are interested in a career in capital markets or investment banking, CFA is a better choice. There are thousands of openings for Financial Analysts in India and Abroad.

CFA (USA) needs some practical experiance before you are awarded the CFA Charter.

CFA (ICFAI) has no such restrictions and if you have already completed CA, you can get some papers waived off in the first level.
