Hello CCI Members

I have searched a lot on websites but didnt reached the conclusion of the given situation.

One of my friend is in CA Final and about to give exams of B com Hons by corresspondence too. He wants to do CFA but he consistently scored 40 percent in last two years of Bcom Hns.

My question is if he can do CFA after graduation?

Is any percentage criteria(in Bcom Hns) is implemented for getting enrolled for CFA?

Kindly suggest me a way for him as he is eager to do CFA.

Thanks in advance.

Rohit.

hey bro,
one of my frnds also completed his graduation through correspondence and scored an overall of 42%, yet he is in CFA level 2 now..
so dont bother with the correspondence or %,,just go for it..

when u register there is a drop down bofor selection of universities so just select the right university..

during the last two years my score in graduation was also in the 40s.... i have my graduation final year next month.... so trying to push as much as i can.... Neither does CFA Institute bothers, notr do I, but in future i think my employer/ interviewer would bother about this...!

as per point 3 wat is qualified professional work??? those who have wrk experience but not graduation can do the course??
does 3 n half year articleship of icai fit into this definition of wrk experience???
