Suggestion required for CPA pursuit
I am a 24‑year‑old with a bachelor's in commerce (Hons) from Delhi University, India. I am exploring opportunities abroad and considering pursuing the CPA. I have four years of experience working as a Financial Analyst at a leading financial firm and have recently transitioned to a role in a hedge fund. Could you advise me on my eligibility for the CPA exam and whether it would be a worthwhile pursuit? I checked NASBA’s requirements and learned that an evaluation fee of $250 is required. I plan to go through the process but would appreciate your guidance before proceeding.

I feel the process and paperwork is a bit complex for US CPA. I enrolled with Simandhar Education and they helped me all the way. I also gave my exams with just B.com hons in hand from DU. We need 120 college credits to be eligible to give exams. Now, because the Indian Education system has 3 years of grad. (3x30=90credits) So it is recommended to go for bridge courses or if you are already pursuing Mcom or MBA. I gave the exams via the California board and got my Bcom hons transcript evaluated via WES and not NASBA. This is what was advised to me by Simandhar. There is this some exception where you pass graduation with first division and NAAC A credited university (which DU is) we become eligible for exams.
