I strongly suggest that you should be on the job and look at pursuing any program. As far as the CFA program is concerned, you should look beyond CFA. There are lot of programs offered by the NSE and BSE, apart from various institutes which offer specialized programs in various areas of finance. Once you narrow down on the function, in which you want to make your career, your decision will be more pragmatic

Hi Nischaya,
Good to see your concern regarding your studies.
As far as question is concerned answer is no. CFA is a certification course on the other hand MBA is a course offered by a recognized university. However if you have done a bachelors degree and want to pursue MBA then you may surely pursue. In fact MBA in finance would be a good options for you.

Hi Bhakti, any course is better after 12th. It depends on your interest and passion in which field you want to make your career. According to me you should choose BAF, BBA or BBM for your graduation. Anything out of three are good for the foundation in commerce at the graduation level. Second question arises after graduation of MBA, CS or CFA. It is still very early for you to take any decision as the trend keeps on getting change from time to time. You should think about these only after your 2nd year of graduation. Kindly ensure that you get above 65-70 % in your 12th STD so that you have a chance to apply in a good college. Also, ch
