Also, can anyone help me in deciding whether to study from CFA curriculum or Schweser notes??
the CFA curriculum is the best material to study from...But the problem is that it is too vast which is presented in a much compact way in the Schweser notes ..
I am planning to give CFA in June 2013,I have started the preparation with Economics since this seems the toughest module to me.If anyone interested in having group study in Bangalore please contact me.I am living in whitefield area.
hiii...even i am from bangalore Electronic City...
firstly even i am new to CFA but i do have commerce background
secondly i have read somewhere for preparing cfa level 1 u need to study atleast 270 hours
...as u are from eng background i think u should take coaching....and further schweser notes are easier than curriculum as in that things are expalined in simple way

Search on PG or Google - their number has been posted n number of times.
Yes - they send courier to Delhi also.
Price - call and ask them - it should be around 1000.
@maheshdhiman hi i am new to pagalguy but not new to finance 😃 i believe u would have done your MBA specialising in marketing which is how u landed up with the current job. If you are looking for an immediate switch CFA is not the ideal choice. CFA will take minimum three years to complete and Level 1 and Level II have minimal weight age, specially in the current economic scenario. CRISIL runs a course called CRISIL CERTIFIED ANALYST PROGRAM (CCAP) which, in my opinion is the best for people seeking to switch their careers to finance.The course will teach you basics of finance plus you get to work at CRISIL. The best thing is that you have a guaranteed job in CRISIL once you clear the course. You can also check ICICI bank runs a similar work cum study course with gauranteed job in ICICI post completion. However in pursuing such courses you may have to take a pay cut which can be frustating. Needless to say, having a CFA certification will be of immense help in the long run. To give a brief background about myself: I have done the 2 year CCAP course, completed 1 year as full time equity research analyst in CRISIL + appearing for CFA Level II in June. Let me know if you need any more help.
@neeupp hi Neeta, thanks a ton for the guidance, i'll do a bit of research on your suggestion, it might give me a good start in finance. And, i've done mba in finance only :p, but somehow landed in marketing profile through campus... happens! but yeah, its clear in my mind that i want to be in finance. so are you from finance background ?
Hi guys, I am currently pursuing MBA from IIMC, planning to give CFA L1 june 2013.
While purchasing the CFA curriculum, I have taken Kolkata as my test centre because currently I am in kolkata. But I am not sure whether by the that time next year, I will be there in Kolkata, so is there an option to change my test centre some time later?

@rchhabra1706 not sure about delhi, but u will get in mumbai November onwards. Details about the book stores in mumbai are mentioned in one of the threads above
I need a suggestion, I am going to appear for CFA Level 1 in June 2013, & so should I order CFA materials now from or wait for new updated materials to be released, Also I wanted to ask from where should I buy from, I have heard that Om photocopy's quality is good, If there is some other comp, plz let me know, since I am living outside of Mumbai, & would have to rely on delivery.
