Currently US CFA is banned in INdia. You have to wait for court's decision which will come in Mid Seeptember. The Indian CFA is also a good course. Just go to followin site and can get details of ICFAI CFA. www.icfai.org There you go to post graduation programmes and can find all details.

It's very difficult for a Chartered Accountant , if not impossible, to get a job in the Investment Banking division as most of the company's prefer to hire a MBA ( Finance ) professional... As far as your work expirience in BPO goes, trust me, as pointed out by Nitesh , there isn't much growth, Moreover it is even difficult to shift to a regular company with that expirience.... It is true that the CFA course ( USA ) is awaiting the judgement of the Hon. Supreme Court... Till then, a student in India can choose any examination centre other than India. As far as the CFA course of India (i.e. ICFAI) is concerned, The inst. has made a lot of changes to it's examination structure... Earlier there were three levels & after completing each level a student was awarded qualifications' as Diploma in Finance ( DF ), Advanced Diploma in Finance ( ADF) & MS Finance, which led to CFA charter resp. But now after completing the second level one earns a CFA & after completing the third level one gets the MS Finance qualification... Thus according to me deteriorating it's credibility. Moreover ICFAI promises placement for his students with the avg package being approx. Rs.240,000.
