There are many colleges in hyderabad and pune that offers a B.Com programme like Indian Institute of management and Commerce, Avinash College of Commerce, Amity School of business and many more but in order to pursue ACCA or CFA you are required to a completely different course after graduating from any degree of your choice. Management degrees are a good option to pursue a course like ACCA or CFA as it gives a base for the course. As of Now you cannot pursue a degree course like B.Com with ACCA or CFA. 

Hope this Helps!

While ACCA is more suitable for students who love challenges and want to excel in accounting careers. CFA, on the other hand, is a good option for students who wish to develop skills in finance, equity, and investment.
Both Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) are prestigious global certifications. CFA is awarded by the CFA Institute, and ACCA is offered by the global body – Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
The salary packages for both courses are highly competitive. However, CFA professionals relatively earn more than ACCA professionals.

Applicants who want to work in the financial services industry in various positions like Portfolio Managers, Risk Professionals, Financial Advisers, and so on should take the CFA certification course. The Chartered Financial Analyst program also lets individuals transition from traditional studies such as BCom, MCom, and so on to a professional course that provides better career opportunities.

Candidates who aspire to become entrepreneurs or start their professions as financial advisors can also enrol in CFA certification courses.
