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.

Hi,
CA and CFA simultaneously, I would say it's rare or let's say, 1 out of 1000 student goes for this combination as both the courses need specific dedicated study time schedule hence it's very difficult to manage both these at the same time. Hence I would suggest going for CFA once your CA is done.

Best coaching institutes for CFA are:
Shah Classes (Sir Laukik Shah): Being the oldest coaching institute, seniors I know studied with him. He made a name for having a monopoly in the CFA coaching industry a decade back. At that time, there were no options, you see. The passing score was high in CFA exams overall, as much as ninety percent at that time, so that was in his favor. In fact, he himself confessed in the demo session that he hasn't cleared even the first level of CFA. However, there were no other options from where one could learn the CFA, other than him, at that time.

Sorry to disappoint you my friend but it won't help much.
First of all for getting B Schools outside India you need minimum experience of around 5 years. Foreign B-Schools don't accept freshers. So first look into that. CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is certifications for those who are looking to get into money/asset management. If you are looking to work as an equity research analyst of portfolio manager and other such jobs then CFA can help. But again there are 3 levels of CFA. For it to be of any use you need to clear at least two levels then only you would have enough knowledge to work as an equity research analyst or other such
