Eligibility:
Education that is equivalent to US bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement for signing
up for Level I exam. Also students in the final year of their studies are eligible to take the
exam. Normally it takes 4 years to complete the requirements for a Bachelor's degree in the
U.S. as compared to 3 years for a B.A or B.Com degree in India. However CFA Institute has
stated that if the India degree leads to similar job opportunities then it will be considered
equivalent to a U.S. Bachelor's degree, even if it does not encompass 4 years of study. We
advice Indian students (with 3 year degrees) to drop an email to CFA Institute and get written
email confirmation on their eligibility.
