No, do not think of working under CA or someone else at this stage. You can do MBA in Finance. I recommend you to try clearing first level of CFA if you are extremely interested in finance. As you are a mechanical engineer, clearing first level of CFA before starting MBA will help you a lot in MBA and for placements. Besides, if you are still exploring finance and not sure then do small courses provided by NSE and BSE Institute. All the best.

I think CFA is better course than MBA, as in MBA if you are getting admission in top 10 colleges, then it's okay. But, otherwise CFA is better. If you are an average student, so you should go for CFA, as it will give a good salary than MBA. For MBA, college is more important, but for CFA, there is no such college and all.

Hi,
Unless and until you are looking for a niche career as a Financial Analyst - courses such as CFA and FRM (for risk management), would be of less importance. They wouldn't harm you, but benefits are less.

Have a Bachelor's (or equivalent) degree, or be in the final year of your bachelor's degree at the time of registration, or have four years of qualified, professional work experience or a combination of work/college experience that totals four years. Meet the professional conduct admission criteria.

Yes, if you have interest in numbers and finance. It does not require any specific Bachelor degree to pursue for CFA. Anyone can do CFA you just have to have interested in becoming an investment banker.

No, there are no exemptions doing CFA after CMA. As CFA Institute does not provide any exceptions. You have to clear all the levels.

Yes, you can. CFA course doesn't require anyone to have a Bachelor's degree relating to finance. Even persons with non-finance background can pursue CFA.
