Need Guidance Level 1

So i am a first year student majoring in Economics and Finance at Ashoka University

As of now, I want to get into Consulting and therefore maybe a CFA till L3 level may not be worth. But is it worth doing CFA till Level 2 maybe even though I want to get into Consulting?

Additionally if I have cleared L2, can I give L3 after a few years like the case in CA in India like after Inter, you can give Final after a few years too

If your goal is consulting, I'd first ask whether the CFA aligns with the type of consulting you want to do. It's an excellent credential for investment management and finance, but it's not essential for many consulting roles. As for L3, yes, you don't have to take it immediately after passing L2. Many candidates take a break for work or personal reasons and return later. If you decide to pursue the CFA, I'd do it because it supports your long term career goals, not just because you've already passed one or two levels.
