Hi, General rule: The eligibility for CPA certification requires 120 credits. Every year of university education in India is equivalent to 30 semester credits of US education. Using 1 year = 30 credits, *B.Com 3 years x 30 credits = 90 credits *Exception: If B.Com is cleared in 1st division from a NAAC A university, you are entitled to 30 additional credits, thereby increasing the credits to 120. *Suppose you have only 90 credits (counted as per your graduation) then, you can pursue either M.Com or MBA for attaining the balance credit points. *Further, a professional qualification like CA/CS/CWA is counted as 2 years of university education, thus adding 60 credits to your bag.
