History
The Institute was established in 1984 at Hyderabad, woo India as ‘Institute of Certified Financial Analysts’ to look after training and certification needs of candidates interested in becoming qualified financial analysts and the name was subsequently changed to The Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India’. ICFAI is registered as a non-profit educational society with the objective of imparting training in finance and management to students, working executives and professionals in India. In 1985, ICFAI launched the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program in association with CFA Institute and the then President of CFA Institute Alfred Morley was part of ICFAI Board of Governors as an invitee till 1991. But afterwards, ICFAI and CFA Institute parted ways and ICFAI began to offer the CFA program independently. ICFAI also went on to build a network of Universities, Engineering colleges (ICFAITech), Business Schools (IBS) Law School (ILS) and through the universities started offering Distance Education Program in various fields of study. In order to cater to the students enrolled in Distance Education Programs, ICFAI has eventually built a network of branch offices across more than 250 locations in India.
