Well I'm a commerce student in 12th..I want to know what's the scope of CPA in India? Can we give it's exam sitting here in India only?

Certified Public Accountancy in U.S (CPA) Can an Indian student pursue with that course? I mean are there any institutes online or elsewhere in India where we can study? and give it's exam in India only? Do we need to be a graduate before stating with that course?
