Hi Harshkumar!
The Chartered Accountant course starts with three different consequent sections namely, Common Proficiency Test (CPT), Integrated Professional Competence Course (IPCC) and Final Course. The ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India) has framed two ways of entries to get into Chartered Accountant curriculum:
CPT entry after class 12
Direct entry after graduation
Since you are pursuing graduation, I would suggest you to complete your graduation first. You will be then eligible for direct entry scheme then and would't need to do CPT. Here is the eligibility criteria for the same:
1. Commerce graduates and Post graduates who have secured minimum of 50% of total marks or equivalent grade in any one of recognised University with subjects, should have studied any 3 papers of Accounting, Mercantile Laws, Auditing, corporate Laws, Economics, Taxation, Costing, Management Accounting, Administration.
2. Those graduates who are not from the stream of Commerce should have minimum of 60% of the total marks or its equivalent grade in any one of recognised University. Candidates who have successfully graduated from any University (including open Universities) established by law in India also eligible to enter through Direct Entry.
3. Those candidates who have cleared CS Executive Exams under Institute of Company Secretaries of India and who have passed the CWA Inter Exams under Institute of Cost Accountants of India are also eligible through this direct graduate entry.

Hi Srini, No, Bank jobs are not as tough as CA. If we talk about exam also, Bank PO is a competitive exam covering a variety of subjects and you need to work really hard to pass it. However, CA on the other hand is a rigorous course that usually takes 4.5 years to complete. It includes detailed knowledge of financial reporting, financial management, cost accounting, taxation, law and audit. Moreover, there is a need of compulsory 3 years article ship training. Apart from the work, you may have to take a separate tuition for each subject which you will have to manage before or after your office hours. So, in my opinion, CA is a lot tougher and chances of clearing all the exams in the first attempt are also less.
