For international CPA candidates from India, generally 3-year commerce graduates from NAAC A universities who have scored a 1 st division are awarded 120 credits. CPA Scope:
The CPA scope is going to increase exponentially now that the speculation of CPA exams coming to India has been answered. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, CPA exams in India will be held only for the months of June and September 2020. We are hopeful that testing in India will become a reality in the near future and that the period of testing will be extended. Given the international recognition, increasing US-based MNCs in India, the travel cost, and other administrative trouble being resolved, we would be looking at a massive increase in scope for years to come.

Well, two years' work experience is a great asset. Any work experience would be good. Internships from former companies shows that you have some practical experience and that you appreciate the course.
Skills required would be some grasp on Excel, and some CAD Software, you require good communication skills, they will test that from the entrance exam, and basic concepts from your engineering is important.
Learning BIM/MEP will be very useful but you need not fret if you don't have a certification on that yet. You have ample time to learn on the term here.
Other skills like singing, dancing or other cultural inclinations or technical papers are welcome, as they will be useful when you participate in several events.
