The candidate must pass all three of the CFA® Institute’s examination levels—Level I, Level II, and Level III. All three CFA® sections follow the same syllabus. The weight assigned to each topic at a certain exam level accounts for the discrepancy. The CFA® curriculum comprises field practice acquired through employment experience, academic theory taught at three levels, and providing candidates with a solid professional and ethical basis. Candidates are aware of both the moral principles governing portfolio management and advanced investing features.

                  Frequently Asked Question - CFA® Exam

                  To become a CFA®  Charterholder, you need to pass all 3 levels of the CFA exam. You can register for the level 1 exam if you meet the education and/or work experience requirements. The years of professional work also count when you pass the exams and want to use your CFA® designation. Aspirants willing to pursue CFA® must comply with the eligibility criteria.

                  The eligibility for the CFA® Level 1 program is as follows:

                  • Candidate must hold a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in any discipline.

                  • Applicants need to have at least four years of work experience.

                  To become a CFA® charter holder, you must have:

                  • all 3 levels of the exam were completed AND
                  • at least 4,000 hours of relevant investment-related work experience, completed in a minimum of 36 months (full-time and part-time jobs, as well as remote work arrangements – before, during, or after your participation in the CFA®  Program – qualify).

                  How much does a CFA® candidate earn in India?

                  • Ideally, if you are a CFA® Level 1 cleared candidate in India then you should be able to get approx Rs 6 Lacs.
                  • if you have cleared CFA® Level 2 then approx your package should be around Rs 8 to 9 lacs depending upon the profile.
                  • If you have cleared CFA® Level 3 then ideally in MNC banks you should be able to command around Rs 12 Lacs annually.

                  Job Profile for CFA® Candidates in India:

                  • Corporate Finance
                  • Investment Research

                  Clearing CFA® along with a Full Time is very much possible, I have many students who have cleared the exam along with full-time jobs.

                  CFA® examinations are challenging and you will need to be extremely disciplined and focused to complete the charter. Candidates are required to pass three levels of exams covering areas, such as accounting, economics, ethics, money management, and security analysis.

                  Books to be used:

                  • Get the Schweser Notes and Question from the Book Seller.
                  • Get Texas Instrument Calculator [ BA II Plus]

                  Strategy for Preparation:

                  • It is very important to strike a balance between work life and studies. Try to study as much as 2-3 hours per day and try solving as many questions as possible.
                  • Focus on identifying difficult topics and revise them 2 to 3 times before the exam.
                  • Since you get very little time to study, it is better that you stick to third-party notes instead of CFA®  institute material as they are concise and cover all the topics.
                  • You can prepare a timetable and try to follow it. Question bank solving is a must as it makes you efficient and makes you aware of the exam environment.
                  • Last-minute recaps are very beneficial as it refreshes your concepts.
                  • Dedicate the last 4-5 weeks only for mock tests as it helps you in understanding your strong and weak areas
