Hi Priti,

I think if you really want to do more in Finance, then go for CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) from ICFAI University. It will give you an in-depth knowledge in Finance. Think about this course as well.

Warm Regards,

Hi,

Priyanka here. I am in the 2nd year of my CA Articleship. I am very determined that I want to pursue a career in the banking sector. Therefore, I am considering taking up a course related to finance. Can anyone suggest which option would be better: a PG in finance or a part-time MBA in finance?

Hi Priya,

Finance is like an ocean, which is highly impossible to swim in; you can only travel on it. If you really want to learn in-depth about Finance, consider pursuing either CFA or CIMA.

CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is a 14-month course offered by ICFAI. Once you complete the Chartered's program, you have the option to pursue MFA (Masters of Financial Analyst), which would make you very skilled and knowledgeable in understanding Finance.

CIMA is a UK education program that you can register for from India. It is a globally recognized course that delves into in-depth Finance.

An MBA in Finance is also an option, but it may not cover Finance in as much depth. It is useful for managerial roles, depending on the institute you choose.

You have many options to learn about Finance. If you have any queries, please let me know.

Regards,
Vinod.

Hi, Vijaykumar.

Thank you very much for your reply. I had already considered pursuing the CFA designation, but due to my current articles, I don't think I will be able to dedicate 100% to such a demanding course. Perhaps, I can keep this option in mind after completing my CA. Additionally, considering the high costs involved, I am hesitant to give it a try.

Regarding CIMA, I am definitely open to considering it. Could you provide me with more details about the course or direct me to a related website where I can find more information?

I currently have some free time with no study pressure, so I was contemplating taking up a small course to make good use of my time.
