Its not beneficial for wasting 3 years for getting a base for CA. You can actually make use of CPT the entrance exam for CA. It is conducted on june and december. After bcom you will get a base but CA itself take a long period, still wasting 3 years does not make any sense. Do appear for CPT. Go for IPCC directly. Make use of time.
