Well, you won't have any exemption in ICAP on the basis of the Bsc from LUMS. Yeah you can always sign up for CA following that.
The thing is what are your future plans ? do you want to be finance professional ? an accountant ? a banker ?.
An MBA from a top notch Uni will get you in the sack for a good career start as finance professional (corporate finance etc.) and as a banker. You could then go ahead with degrees like CFA etc. That's one way of doing it !
However, if you are thinking on the lines of being a hard core accountant / Finance Manager / Auditor etc. there are no doubts about the CA ! So all depends on what you are aiming at ?
Just to site my personal experience, I'd to make a choice between a LUMS MBA and CA myself,.. and settled for CA ofcourse. But ofcourse I wanted a carrer in accountancy and wanted to be a top notch finance professional.
My philosophy is you can go for an MBA later in life, but CA is something you have to go in for earlier on.
