Generally, most Indian B.Com graduates are eligible to take the CPA exam. Every year of university education in India is equivalent to 30-semester credits of US Education, totaling 90 credits at the end of 3 years. If B.Com is completed in 1st division from a NAAC 'A' university, the 3-year B.Com would be treated as 4 years of US education, i.e., 120 credits for B.Com alone. Having a 2-year Master's degree (e.g., M.Com, MBA) contributes to 60 education credits. Further, professional qualifications like CA/CS/CWA are recognized by a few States as 2 years of US education. In case yours is a NAAC 'A' college, you'd be able to appear for the exams. Even if that's not the case, you can pursue bridge courses to get the credits.
