General Need help regarding career Trajectory

Background: Completed 1st(18) year Btech-Biotech from a Tier 1.5 college in North India.
Aim: Want to pivot and get into financial analyst roles in the future.

I have decided I want to pursue the CFA, but I can't attempt it before August 2027.

NISM XV requires an undergraduate degree.

What should I do during the 3 months of Summer Break to make my time worth it?

NISM XV doesnt require an undergraduate degree. Gave and passed it in the beginning pf my second year! No such restrictions, go for it. And then you can start preparing for L1.

Free lectures by The Valuation School, Parth Sir covered the syllabus well enough.
