Dear Members I am currently pursuing my MBA in International Business domain from University of Delhi. I will be completing my masters by May 2017. Having studying about international trade for the past one and half years, I have developed interest in applying for CHA exam and hence I want to know about the eligibility criteria for the same. Given the course that I am pursuing, am I eligible to appear for CHA exam? Your kind reply is awaited. Thanks in advance!
