hey you guys are telling about aimr cfa ????

okay so far we have 5 ppl in this thread for level 1 june 2006: myself, shalabh, arjun, archbishop, and ankit3k. i think we should coordinate and share info so that our lives become easier.

archbishop...i`ll try and answer what i know:

1. i dont think there should be any restriction on that, but i`m not sure. check the website of the cfa institute.

2. Exam expenses:
Rs.16,875 (Membership fee--once only) + Rs.19,800 (Exam fee) = Rs.36,675 (total)
Total for three levels = Rs.36,675 * 3 = Rs.1,10,025
You can save Rs.6,000 if u register in the early deadlines for the other 2 levels.
http://www.cfainstitute.org/cfaprogram/feeschedule.html

Books and Material:

this completely depends on what material u use and where u get it from. the CFA reccomends some standard textbooks, which are quite expensive...but the indian editions are relatively cheaper. you could pool in money with friends and buy stuff together by sharing costs, you could buy second hand material, xerox notes, etc etc. total cost for study material can be anywhere between 6,000 to 30,000 depending on where u buy from and what u buy.

3. there is no restriction as to when you should take your level II and III exams. you can take the level 1 now and take level 2 after 5 years, level 3 after 10 years...anytime u want. if you take level 1 and go for MBA, u will find your mba syllabus pretty easy to cope with and ur academic performance will be good. if u do your mba and then cfa, you wont have much trouble clearing cfa exams coz u already are familiar with the concepts. i have personally chosen to follow the first strategy...do cfa first and simplify mba studies.

Hi Friends,

Of late I have been following this thread. And i can say i have got lot of information from this particular thread.
I have enrolled for June 2007 Level 1 Exams & started my Preparations. Anyone interested to form a study group in MUMBAI.

It would be great if we start a Study Group dedicated for Exam Preparations cos it would be helpful in getting doubts cleared & inculcate zeal in preparations.

Bye
MS
