So, the entire CPA exam syllabus is broken down into 4 sections, each section
dealing with a body of related knowledge. Each of this section has its own
syllabus and exam which you need to be proficient in, to crack the exam. The 4
sections of the CPA exam are as follows.

Environment Concepts (BEC)
CPA ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA – INDIA
Most
state boards of accountancy require a minimum of 150 hours of post-secondary
education from a regionally accredited institution. This typically equates to a
Master’s degree.
In
case my opening paragraph isn’t clear enough. There are 55 state boards
offering the CPA license and to be eligible for writing exam for their licence,
you must meet the CPA eligibility requirements set by that state board.
Most
state boards also require a minimum number of college credits in various
accounting topics and business law. So if you want to become a CPA by first
passing the CPA Exam, plan on obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in accounting
(typically at least 120 semester hours) as well as a Master’s degree in
accounting or taxation (typically at least 30 semester hours).
If
you are a candidate from India, planning to take the CPA exam with a B.Com. You
are, unfortunately, ineligible to do so. To be able to write the CPA exam, you
should, in addition to the B.Com have a masters degree that covers the rest of
30 credits. You can do this by joining a distance learning program of a
recognized university.
