CFA offered by CFA Institute, USA, comprises three exams: Levels I, II, and III.
The date of CFA level I exam should not be more than 23 months before the month in you graduate, so at this stage you're not eligible to take CFA Level I exam. So, you may take the CFA Level I exam only once you're in 3rd year.
Similarly, the date of CFA level II exam should not be more than 11 months before your graduation. So, you may take CFA Level II exam (after clearing CFA level I) in your 4th year.
You may take CFA Level III exam only after you graduate.
Considering it takes a lot of time to prepare for all three exams including level I, you may buy Schweser Notes (https://www.schweser.com/cfa/level-1/study-materials/schweser-notes) and start studying now rather than wait for another year.
If you are really serious about a career in investment banking, think of 3 alternative plans.
Plan 'A' should kick in once you've cleared CFA Level II - apply for internships at investment banks and convert one of these internships to an offer.
Plan 'B' is to work for a couple of years in a 'law' profile, clear CFA Level III in the meanwhile and then pivot to an investment bank. Very few examples of people who have accomplished this: Udai Bajaj (NLSIU 2006) and a CFA who's working with Deutsche Bank, Singapore, as Director Loan Trading & Syndications, is one.
Plan 'C' is the same as Plan 'B' to the extent of working for a couple of years in a 'law profile'. Once you've done this, with or without clearing CFA Level III, prepare for CAT or GRE or GMAT and pursue MBA from a decent institute with a concentration in finance. Remember, many, if not most MBA 1st years serious about finance typically clear CFA Level I well before their summer internships. Even compared with such individuals, with a CFA Level II, you'd be better 'placed'.
All the best!
CFA works for CAs and engineers to make the transition, not lawyers. Just do an MBA bhai.
(a) can i pursue CFA, as the requirement states that BBA in finance, but my course is not related directly to finance & i can only give lvl 1 test in my last year so should i start preparing for it.
(b) as i am in my 2nd year should i enroll myself in certification program which r related to finance(if yes then pls suggest some) or acquire certain skills in my upcoming three years which can be of some use in my journey.
(c) is this a right career decision, or law and finance doesn't work together
