Arunima Pandey's CFA Level I pass is verified against her issuer-hosted CFA Institute digital badge and her public LinkedIn announcement — both sources outside rbeiset.com.
Every claim on this page traces to those sources or her public LinkedIn profile. Her post credits self-study; this page does not invent coaching claims. No scaled score has been published, so none is shown.
CFA Institute issued Arunima Pandey a CFA Program Level I digital badge confirming she passed Level I; she announced the result on LinkedIn on 13 January 2026 after the Nov 2025 exam window.
The badge is hosted on credentials.cfainstitute.org and can be opened independently of this site. Her LinkedIn post had 174 reactions and 68 comments as at 6 September 2026. Deepak Goyal, CFA & FRM charterholder and founder of RBei Classes, reshared the post — a public congratulations, not a claim that she prepared for Level I with RBei coaching.
Arunima Pandey is a Delhi-based undergraduate at Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi (KNC’26/27), a CFA Level 2 Candidate, and a former Data Analytics Intern at RBei Educational Institution who cleared CFA Level I through self-study.
Her public profile shows student leadership and consulting-side internships alongside the CFA path. That context matters for college candidates who ask whether Level I is realistic before graduation: this page documents one verified DU undergraduate pass, not a score band or a coaching enrolment claim.
Arunima Pandey publicly attributes her CFA Level I pass to consistent self-study, focused hard work, and disciplined effort — not to RBei Classes CFA coaching.
“I am Happy to share that I have cleared CFA Level I. This milestone is the result of consistent self-study, focused hard work, and disciplined effort over time. The journey strengthened my foundation in finance and reinforced the value of perseverance and long-term commitment. Grateful for the support and encouragement from my family, mentors, and peers throughout this process. This achievement marks one step closer to the CFA charter, and I'm excited to continue learning and growing ahead.”

The honest RBei connection on the record is earlier and separate: she worked as a Data Analytics Intern at RBei Educational Institution from February to May 2023. Deepak Goyal later reshared her Level I announcement. Those facts are published here because they are true; they are not rewritten into a coaching credit she did not give.
Study hours, mock counts and topic-by-topic scores are not on her public post or badge, so they are not invented on this page. For candidates who do want structured CFA Level 1 preparation, see CFA coaching at RBei Classes.
Each answer below is drawn from Arunima Pandey's CFA Institute badge, her public LinkedIn post and profile, or published CFA Institute programme rules — not from guessed preparation details.
On this evidence, yes for at least one Kamala Nehru College undergraduate. Arunima Pandey cleared Level I in the Nov 2025 window while listed as KNC’26/27 and based in Delhi, then updated her headline to CFA Level 2 Candidate.
CFA Institute enrolment rules allow candidates who meet bachelor's, final-year, or experience pathways to sit Level I; a commerce internship is not a prerequisite. What remains hard is calendar conflict — semester exams versus a curriculum sized for hundreds of study hours.
Yes, when the candidate states it. Her announcement uses the words consistent self-study as the cause of the milestone. This page follows that wording. Other verified stories on this site credit RBei Classes coaching when students say so — for example Shashank Jagtap's CFA Level 1 result.
Because the badge and LinkedIn post are real, the candidate has a documented prior internship at RBei Educational Institution, and college candidates searching for a Delhi University CFA Level 1 example deserve an honest page rather than a silent gap or a fabricated coaching claim.

Yes — Arunima Pandey cleared CFA Level I as a Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi undergraduate in the Nov 2025 window and publicly credited consistent self-study.
CFA Institute does not require enrolment in a coaching programme. Candidates who meet bachelor's, final-year student, or experience pathways can sit Level I. Self-study still needs a full curriculum pass through Ethics, Financial Statement Analysis and the other Level I topic areas — see the CFA Level 1 syllabus for topic weights before building a schedule.
College calendars are the usual constraint, not eligibility. Candidates who prefer structured batches can compare options on CFA coaching at RBei Classes without treating this page as evidence that Arunima used that path.
CFA Level I is hard alongside a degree: global Level I pass rates have generally sat between roughly 40% and 50% in recent windows, and CFA Institute candidate surveys have historically put average Level I preparation near 300 hours.
Undergraduates add semester exams, societies and internships on top of that load. Arunima Pandey still cleared Level I as a DU undergraduate through self-study and moved on to Level 2 candidate status. Difficulty is real; the pass is also real and badge-verified. For another undergraduate-adjacent professional-exam outcome on this site, see Disha Lalwani's FRM Part 1 college story.
A CFA Institute CFA Program Level I digital badge proves that the named person passed Level I, as confirmed on an issuer-hosted credential page at credentials.cfainstitute.org.
It does not by itself publish a scaled score, minimum passing score margin, or topic-area chart. Those details appear only if the candidate shares a result letter. Arunima Pandey's badge is therefore treated here as pass verification, not as a score report — open her live badge to check the credential independently.
