Yes, you can opt for the CFA Level 1 exam even if you do not have a B.Com degree. The Chartered Financial Analyst CFA programme has no specific educational requirements. However, you should keep in mind that the CFA programme is rigorous and requires a significant amount of study time and effort. To enroll in the CFA programme, you must have a Bachelor's degree or be in the final year of your Bachelor's degree programme. If you do not have a Bachelor's degree, you can still enroll in the programme if you have four years of qualified work experience or a combination of education and work experience that totals four years. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can enroll in the CFA programme and register for the Level 1 exam. Keep in mind that passing the CFA Level 1 exam is the first step in a series of exams that you will need to pass to become a Chartered Financial Analyst.

As a Science student, you may not have taken courses that are directly related to the courses in a B.A. Programme, but you can still calculate your overall grade percentage using the grades and credit hours for the courses you have taken. To calculate your grade percentage for a particular course, you can use the following formula:
Grade percentage = (Grade earned / Total possible grade) x 100%
For example, if you earned a grade of B in a 3-credit course with a total possible grade of 100%, your grade percentage would be:
Grade percentage = (80 / 100) x 100% = 80%
Once you have calculated the grade percentage for each course, you can calculate your overall grade percentage by taking the weighted average of your course grades, using the credit hours for each course as the weights. For example, if you earned a B in a 3-credit course and an A in a 4-credit course, your overall grade percentage would be:
Overall grade percentage = (3 x 80) + (4 x 90) / (3 + 4) = 85.71%
