07 April 2010 Hello,

For clearing any exams, self study or books, study material is not all that guarantee success, it is the interest and devotion of the individual to clear any exams.
Of course, study material provides you the entire syllabus, but still refering other books, previous solved papres, regular updates helps you a lot to understand you the concept and gain expert knowledge. Also, devotion of 3 -4 Hrs a day is good. Keep on the regular study , but study with concentration and understand the concept whatever you read. You will definitely crack the exams.

For Comparison between CFA & CS, I can say that both the cousrses will give you different knowledge. If you are interested in laws and rules then, CS or LLB is good. However, if you are interetsted in investment banking or finance field then CFA is good.

07 April 2010 In my view, study material provided by ICSI is comprehensive enough and would help you prepare for the exams. The questions would not fit exactly in the book but you need to have understanding of the subject to reply in your own words.

CFA from ICFAI is a good course. But CS would have an edge over it. This is considering the growing importance of CS and recognition given by law.

07 April 2010 100% reliance on study mat is not a good idea As some times you will find them not updated.

Go for CS as compare to CFA.
