The curriculum is generally the same (90-95%) for both June/Dec exams. You can start preparing now and check the change in LOS, if any. The LOS (or the syllabus) for both the exams can be found here:

Hi,

I've close to 6 yrs experince in the stock market as a dealer and now i am thinking of either doing CFA or FRM. Can someone please highlight the difference in both these courses and if one is better over the other.

The two courses have different focus areas. CFA is more related to equity research and investment management. FRM is related to risk management.

I personally think that CFA opens more doors in terms of career opportunities than FRM. Also FRM is easier to pass than CFA.

The test centers in India were announced today and you have changed it very fast. So I don't think that there will be any problem. I guess it is already confirmed in your account information.

Read this article : CFA or FRM: Solving the Dilemma for students

I got it when i was searching on internet, it helped me a little. Hope it will help you too

Here it is wht i think!

CFA : Investment banking , equity research , valuations and all profiles 1 can think of in finance.
FRM : Risk mgmt. , Treasury Mgmt. , Forex Mgmt, Derivatives.

Simplifying it even further

CFA : Investment banks + share markets
FRM : Commercial banks.

In general, CFA will be a big addition for ANY finance profile.
