CS would be better option as you are not a graduate yet. After graduation u can go for LLB / Mcom or any acturial course.

Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) is a globally recognized certification in the field of audit, control and security of information systems. CISA gained worldwide acceptance having uniform certification criteria, the certification a high degree of visibility and recognition in the fields of IT security, IT audit, IT risk management and governance. Vacancies in the areas of IT security management, IT audit or IT risk management often ask for a CISA certification.[1] The certification is extremely challenging and is associated with a high failure rate[citation needed]. CISA is awarded by ISACA.[2]
The CISA ISACA certificate can be applied for if the following conditions are met [3] and passed the CISA exam
The CISA certification is not tied to membership in the worldwide umbrella organization ISACA and the local (mostly national) called Chapters.
The world unified CISA exams are conducted three times a year: in June, September and December.[4] The exam is known to be difficult examination and having four hours in length, consists of 200 multiple choice questions and uses the format of one correct answer per question. The scoring is weighted depending on an predetermined value for each question with a passing score of 450 points and a 800 point score as the maximum. Some questions are purely for statistical purposes and do not affect the candidates score.
CISA Review Courses are organised by various educational institutions across the globe, where students go through the CISA Review manual in the five domains which are:
As well as passing the exam, candidates must also pass the following requirements:[5]
Submit an Application for CISA Certification Once a CISA candidate has passed the CISA certification exam and has met the work experience requirements, the final step is to complete and submit a CISA Application for Certification. A minimum of 5 years of professional information systems auditing, control or security work experience (as described in the CISA job practice areas) is required for certification. Substitutions and waivers of such experience, to a maximum of 3 years, may be obtained as follows:
A maximum of 1 year of information systems experience OR 1 year of non-IS auditing experience can be substituted for 1 year of experience.
60 to 120 completed university semester credit hours (the equivalent of an 2-year or 4-year degree) not limited by the 10-year preceding restriction, can be substituted for 1 or 2 years, respectively, of experience.
A bachelor's or master's degree from a university that enforces the ISACA-sponsored Model Curricula can be substituted for 1 year of experience. To view a list of these schools, please visit www.isaca.org/modeluniversities. This option cannot be used if 3 years of experience substitution and educational waiver have already been claimed.
A master's degree in information security or information technology from an accredited university can be substituted for 1 year of experience. Exception: 2 years as a full-time university instructor in a related field (e.g., computer science, accounting, information systems auditing) can be substituted for 1 year of experience.
As an example, at a minimum (assuming a 2-year waiver of experience by substituting 120 university credits), an applicant must have 3 years of actual work experience. This experience can by completed by:
3 years of IS audit, control, assurance or security experience OR 2 years of IS audit, control assurance or security experience and 1 full year non-IS audit or IS experience or 2 years as a full-time university instructor.
It is important to note that many individuals choose to take the CISA exam prior to meeting the experience requirements. This practice is acceptable and encouraged although the CISA designation will not be awarded until all requirements are met.
The work experience for CISA certification must be gained within the 10-year period preceding the application date for certification or within 5 years from the date of originally passing the exam. The CISA Application for Certification is available at www.isaca.org/cisaapp. Note that candidates have 5 years from the passing date to apply for certification.

but can I do cfa or cia? because still i am undergratuate.and can i do cs bcoz i m pursuing bcom +ca .#Confused
You should do BCom and CA.
You will also have articleship. One more course and you will be overburdened. Your performance will decrease in each course.
Think about other course only after completing BCom.
CS is also good but CS has a diiferent domain.
CIA and CISA are related to CA. They are value added certifications.
CFA a time and resource consuming course.
And talking about restrictions, I think you can do only BCom in addition to CA while in the articleship period. You can do any more courses only after completing BCOM.
This means only one extra course is allowed in the articleship.

You are doing SY COM and CA Final.
You cannot do more than two courses simultaneously
You can search for suitable course now. But you can join only after completing one of the above.
It is better to keep focus on these two for now rather than diluting your attention.
Best of Luck
