Angoff Method is used by subject matter experts to decide probability of a student answering each question correctly in CFA exam. These probabilities range from 0 to 100 and are then averaged for each question. Then the averages are added to find the final cutoff or minimum passing score in CFA exams.

Candidates should know that they should have a minimum of 4,000 hours of work experience completed in minimum 3 years. 

You can work while studying as well so no need to worry at all.

Work experience is a mandatory requirement for obtaining the CFA charter. You need to have at least 4,000 hours of work experience and/or higher education that was acquired over a minimum of three years. If you plan to combine both to achieve the minimum hours and years, it is assumed that higher education takes 1,000 hours per year.

Professional work experience does not need to be only investment related. Paid internships/articleships are also accepted.

The average CFA salary in India differs based on the experience and the certification level obtained by you. I guess that the estimated CFA level I salary is around INR 4 LPA to 6 LPA, and if you complete CFA level II your salary will increase to around INR 7 LPA to 12 LPA. The highest CFA level III attracts hefty salary packages of more than INR 12 LPA.

The job market always offers more specialised roles and increased responsibilities to higher CFA level holders. The salary package also differs based on the specific job role, location and years of experience.
