Honestly, there is no need to prepare for CFA after class 12th. CFA LEVEL 1 is not allowed before the final years of graduation (one of the criteria). Visit the CFA official website for more information. Preparation for CFA Level 1 won't take more than 45 months even if you are weak on basics. You may better your knowledge in finance and its basics by tuning in to financial news, blogs, books, movies, etc. It would pay you back in the long run. Wish you luck, Regards.

If you are going for CFA better you finish your MBA first and then move to CFA. After your MBA you can do the CFA while working. These both combination are good and while working if you crack your CFA you will be hired from the company in which your working for.
