CPA(US) cannot be done from India. You need to visit US for giving papers. Hoevr, for CFA(US) you can give exams in India. Also , coachin for both teh courses are avialable in India.
Also, my suggestion is that i case you want to go for short term courses, then go for IFRS secrtifictaion or valuation courses. They are good and are the demands of the future in the present scenario.
Check the file ssection for more details about CPA and CFA.
Also you can check their websites at
www.aicpa.org
www.cfainstitute.org

Dear Sweta
CPA (certified public acountant) is done on coutry basis means from US, AUS, HONGKONG same as in case of CFA.
CPA is like CA i india same CPA in respective country.
for US CPA u have to go US for exams and in case of CFA u can write exams in India.
CFA also have good scope with MBA Finance
or go for CA or CS it also have good combination with MBA (Finance) and u can be manager of Accounts/Finance or Legal
its good
