Depends on individual to individual. as part time student (With office) me and my friends were able to finish in 15-20 days (I know its loads of days, but it was difficult to study specially ECO while working), so i guess as full time student you should be able to do it faster.

I hope you are aware of CFA consisting of three levels and also requires 4 year investment related professional experience for you to obtain a charter(CFA designation).... If your query is regarding CFA exams then ur professional experience is not important ( i wont say irrelevant) but for charter, you need experience.
