Indian degrees are well-recognised in the U.S. CPA system. Here is how common qualifications typically evaluate.
3-Year B.Com
Evaluates to roughly 90-96 U.S. semester credits. You will likely need additional coursework to reach the 120 or 150 credit threshold, depending on the state.
B.Com (Honours) / 4-Year Degree
Typically evaluates to 120+ credits, meeting the minimum for several states. Accounting-heavy curricula may already satisfy most subject-specific requirements.
ICAI (CA) / ICWAI (CMA)
Highly regarded globally. When combined with your undergraduate degree, ICAI or ICWAI qualification holders usually exceed accounting course requirements and can qualify in multiple states.
M.Com / PGDA
Postgraduate study adds significant credits. An M.Com or Post Graduate Diploma in Accounting combined with a B.Com often reaches or exceeds 150 semester hours for full licensure eligibility.
