letmein said:What? Level 2 and 3 are not MCQs? You have to write down the answer?
BTW, is the certification for life? Or do you have to reappear after every x years?
avinash4 said:I seriously considered doing CFA while ago, but all in vain. Not able to cope up with my Internship and studies. I am doing CA as well as CS now. This is not to demotivate you. But CFA involves lots of Maths(Which is not in my thoughts too) and plus its harder than CA. You may consider it if you are planning your career abroad and intended towards Investment Banking, Portfolio Management, Securities etc. I guess there was clash among ICAI and CFA programs in India while ago. But now SC has ordered to Conduct exams in India and Centres are limited to Metros alone I guess. I think this should help you more

@Swastikrj- Which level are you in CA?
Aphro_EVO said:Ok great. I need some more info about CA/CS vs CFA now since I am confused now. I will complete my MBA in Feb 2012 with finance majors. I am basically interested in consolidation and reporting of financial statements/treasury management/corporate finance, which of these courses is better suited for me? I am good with accounting and financial statement analysis, find it quite intriguing.
Sorry mate but from what i have heard is CFA is a complete conceptual degree and CA is not.Also i have heard that CFA is more easy
Btw i had heard CFA from US is more tougher than the Indian CFA.
