Hi All,

I have really confused what to do.

I have two choices one is June US -CFA L1 for which I have studied nearly 70% of the syallabus.

[b]Second is to go for CA (India) Final May Group 2007 1 attempt for which I am yet to start.To put things in perspective ,I have just joined CA after a gap of Three years. [/b]CAN I CLEAR IN TWO MONTHS WITH NO COACHING.

Starting AIMR(USA) CFA now wld mean it requires another 2.5 years.But I can join a job after clearing level 1.
[b]
CA Final would require 1-1.5 years.HoweverI cannot work alongwith it. [/b]WhiCH ONE WLD U SUGGEST? IS CFA LEVEL 1 CARRY ANY VALUE IN INDIAN MARKET?

Thanks...( my lengthy mail itself can tell you that I am really confused)

Hi Gaurav,

This looks like a pareto question! If u've covered 70% of ur CFA it does make to sit for that, but CFA does not have a stipulated pass mark. Besides, if ur lookin at our CA syllab after 3 years then covering it in 2 months is difficult.

Besides, CFA Level I does not carry much of a weightage in the Indian Market.

Concentrate on just one buddy. And I would suggest that it be ur CA. Nothinh beats it.

All the best,
Baidik.

Hi Gaurav

If i am not wrong, then you are the same person whom i met twice in Bus No.770 and your phone no. is 9891695642.

It is quite difficult to complete CA with just 2 months of preparation and if you have already completed 70% of CFA course then i will definitely suggest you to concentrate on CFA first and clear atleast its 1st level.

As Baidik Sarkar said, concentrate on just one course, and it should be none other than CA after completing your CFA 1st level otherwise your preparation goes waste.

you know my phone no., you may contact me for any further discussion.

Bye
