Dear Dhawnit,
CFA is not any regular course that can be done in regular or correspondence mode. As like in CA, there is only one autonomous body, which conducts and regulated the course. Same is for CFA. You need to register on their official website, pay the membership fee for Level 1 and start your preparation. There is nothing like college or university which provide this course.

Hi Khyati,
Doing a second LL. M. along with CFA is indeed a brave choice. The degree awarded by the CFA institute US is one of the most the toughest attainable degrees with only 38% o f the students who appear managing to clear level 1, 39% managing to clear level 2 and 46% managing to clear level 3. Also do you have 4 years relevant work experience? Because it is a mandatory requirement that CFA is Awarded on successful completion of 4 years of qualified work experience so please look into that first. Moreover, though the choice is brave its really difficult to accomplish two major courses so please read up everything before you take

No, work experience is not compulsory but it is advisable that you continue your CFA with your job so that it's easy after the completion of CFA course.

Dear Darpan,
Let me clear you certain things:
(1) If you go MBA finance, you can become a financial analyst, investment banker, financial planner, equity analyst, quantitative analyst, risk manager, credit analyst and many more.(2) If you go for CFA (suppose you clear level 3 also), you will be specialised person to be the financial analyst or in some cases quant analyst.
I would advise you to go for MBA finance because it opens more opportunities as well. If you look at the profiles of big positions, they want MBA from tier 1 college. However, it would be excellent if you do MBA + CFA.
