Yes, definitely a good combination. A CPA makes you eligible for global career in public accounting beyond India and a CFA in investment banking. MBA may not be required, but you may go ahead.

CFP or CFA certification not only gives you help to get the job but give you knowledge and skills in respect of financial planning, portfolio management and understanding the market.
So, in campus placement, opportunities not only depend on this certificate but your academic record, internship, research, your positive attitude and career goals as well.
CFA takes you to more analyst job such as increment banker, risk analyst, etc. whereas MBA in finance will have lesser scope compared to a CFA. Still, you may do it to sharpen your presentation skills and to get more insight from business perspective.
