Hi Prithvi,
You certainly are eligible for apperaing for this (Level 1) examination. This is so because you have completed your bachelors degree. The other mandatory thing being owning a valid Passport which I am sure you can get issued all by yourself.
Now, it appears that you wish to utilize your time of articleship by indulging yourself into CFA. CFA is a certified course offered by the CFA Institute, USA. This course has a curriculum that focuses on the valuation modelling appoah and a top down approach towards equity management and Portfolio management. The curriculum provides all the necessary tools to make you aware of the latest evaluation techniques for stocks and other financial instruments with a main concentration towards equities.
The charter can be earned once you have completed 4+ years of work in financial domain and have also passed all the 3 levels of examination.
The registrations take place all round the year (basically), but for June examinations one should register before september a year before to avail discounts. Similarly for December exams, the best time is before June.
Level 1 examinations take place in June as well as December. Level 2 and Level 3 exams take place in June only every year.
The fees for Level 1 registration, Examination and curriculum may range from USD 910 - 1485 depending upon the time you register. The earlier the better.
CFA examinations at first have no test centres in India. Test centres in India are alotted only after the Delhi High Court allows the CFA Institute to conduct Examinations in India. This is because of the CFA mark and a dispute between CFA Institute and ICFAI dating back to 1998. The case is still pending in Delhi High Court for Verdict.
