Hi, i want to ask the Students & Professionals in the CA club that how viable is the MS Finance course from ICFAI?

Its a request, pls dont compare it with the CA course, which i know is the ultimate. Just give an independent opinion.

ICAFAI course is independent and has no connection with any Professional Institute. It has affiliation with Tripura University. If you are looking at knowledge it is a good course. But remember that CFA and job market are volatile. Stock Market goes up and CFA course value goes up. I am not misguiding but if you are already CA then there is no harm. If you are substituting for CA it is wrong, CFA material is good but that material is mainly for reading and studying. What about the job market? CFA after CA may be ppursued.
CFA Course from ICFAI is total crap to say frankly. It has no value in the Job Market except KPO's. And it is very strenous because you have to give examinations on different topics every 3 months or so. Also, it is good in theoretically but what use is it if it does not give you respect in the industry or get you a job. Better to do Part time MBA Finance alongwith Working somewhere.
Consider CFA (US), FRM (GARP), CAIA or CFM, CFP. I am not sure of ICFAI's CFA program. CFP- Certified Fin planner FRM - Financial Risk manager CAIA- Certified alternate investment manager CFM - certified finance manager CFP - Certified financial planner CFA (US) is the most recognised course globally. FRM, CAIA are relatively new and catching up.

m in a fix , m doin full time MBA , whether I shoud go for CFP provided by FBSB India or should go for CFA provide by ICFAI, wchich one wll be better?
