Hi Sir/mam,

           Sir iam a student of Icai and given Ipcc exams .I want to know that whats the eligibility to register for the CFA course,and is this the right time for pursuing it or it should be opted after final exams or along with the ca final.

Thanx

Jaideep

Hi Harsh and Jaideep,

First I get along with Harsh's question... Harsh, I assume your Final year would begin from June/July 2012. The eligibility for CFA Program offered by CFAI, US demands you to be atleast in the final year of your Bachelor's program. This means you may freely appear for Dec 2012 examinations. Best of luck for that... !

Now for Jaideep.... It's good that you wish to appear for CFA examinations but the eligibility demamds you to be atleast in the Final year of your Bachelors degree programme. I suppose, IGNOU has some kind of MoU with ICAI and it treats IPCC passed students as having completed graduation after an examination which the university conducts every year. So If you are not at all registered in any bachelors degree programme please contact IGNOU in this regard for attaining a Bachelors degree without which you will not be eligible for CFA Examinations.

Thanks a lot sir for your help

Harsh .... You call anybody Sir a person whom you learn something from ... I suppose I am not right now in such a position ... Call me Chirag instead ... Are we cool :)

Do notify me if you need Schweser 2011 notes for level 1. I may provide you the same.

Okay...am cool with that Chirag.

And right now am preparing for my IPCC May'11 exams...will notify you for the notes once i clear it.

Thanks a lot for your concern and help.

i jst want to know that is cfa has any centres in delhi

is there any requirement of work experience to get eligible for CFA or being graduated is enough.?

To appear for the exam (level 1), one needs to be atleast in the final year of his/her bachelors or must have atleast a 4 yrs of professional exp.

you will earn your charter once you have obtained 4+ years of experience in investment industry (even if you have passed all the exams).

Hi Chirag

I have a confusion regarding the CFA eligibility requirements. I am BCA final year student, so m i eligible considering that I am pursuing a graduation degree of three years and not four years.

Hello Tushar,

I am assuming that you are in the final year of your BCA Degree. You are eligible for CFA Level 1 Examination.

In my previous post in the CFA Eligibility, I mentioned that One must be in the Final year of his/her graduation to be eligible for Level 1 Examination. If your BCA is considered a Graduation degree, then you are eligible.

Regarding the 4 years thing, it's just a work ex requirement to earn the charter. You may clear all the exams even if you don't have the required work Experience. Once your work ex requirement is fulfilled, you may claim for a charter.

Best of luck for your exams !!

Best Regards, Chirag
