i read somewhere in news that some top business schools may waive the gmat for the people who hold cfa ..so is cfa comparatively easier compared to getting a score of 750 plus in gmat?

CFA is.way harder. Top schools do not waive the gmat.

I think that the CFA requires, on average, something like 900+ hours of study (for all three levels).

Seems like it would probably be easier to dedicate just a fraction of that time to GMAT prep; I've known folks who've gotten 750 plus with 60 hours or less of study time...

thanks guys..but am weak in maths so what should i go for?

So, you're weak at math but want to do an MBA? That's a bit odd.

I'd suggest putting time in to study for the GMAT, the quant section is really not that difficult, and many GMAT-takers, even those who haven't touched math in years find that just a bit of studying and refresh goes a long way.

Don't try the CFA is you are weak in maths.

Thanks..so i should work hard on my Quants and go for Gmat/Gre? that would be little more easier than CFA?

Way, way easier - by an order of magnitude. CFA level one is supported by year-long masters programmes, let alone the next two levels.

Thanks that was really helpful....i wanted to ask about you about some other professional qualifications like CPA,ACCA,CIMA,CMA ,CFP..i wanted to one of these so when i apply for b- school i have strong application ..i know all these are very well recoginsed but according to you which one of these would be the best ?

They are equally good. It would suffer from school to school.

okay, could you suggest any of these which would have more demand in Asia? I really like the CIMA and CPA course..Which one will be more beneficial?
