You need minimum 300 to 350 hours to complete the CFA syllabus for each level of the CFA exam.

The exams are little difficult and there is competition because of the future career benefits that follow after the successful completion of the CFA course.

The general frequency for the CFA Level 1 exams is four times a year, usually in the months of February, May, August, and November. You should keep in mind that though the exam window is open 4 times, you cannot apply in each window, as there must be a gap of at least 6 months between exams, leaving you with a maximum of 2 attempts in a year.

Not at all, there is no such stream restriction for pursuing CFA. You can opt for CFA if you hold a bachelor's degree in any stream. A strong hold over the concepts of finance, statistics, or economics can serve as a strong foundation for the CFA journey, but it is not a compulsory requirement.

You can register for the CFA Level I exam while you're in your final year of graduation and make sure that the exam window is within the 23-month duration of your graduation month. But, if you're asking about the CFA Level II exam, graduation is definitely a mandatory requirement for registration.

Candidates who want to build a career in accounting or financial analysis should choose BCom. It provides the required professional knowledge. For banking jobs, both degrees are acceptable, but BCom graduates may have an edge due to a stronger foundation in finance.
