Courses for Post CA Qualification

Good evening everyone,
I am a CA by profession and I want to pursue Indian Economic Service (IES). But the problem is I don't have a graduation degree (B. com). Can anyone suggest how to get a graduation or post graduation degree after CA and eligible for IES examination.
Thank you in advance

Quick Summary
This discussion explores options for a CA professional seeking to qualify for the Indian Economic Service (IES) without a traditional B.Com degree. Suggestions include pursuing a graduation or post-graduation degree from IGNOU, which may offer exemptions for CA holders. The thread also presents alternative post-CA qualifications in the globalised era, such as ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA, CPA, CMA, CIA, CISA, CFE, and courses in ERP, Data Analytics, RPA, and GRC, which can lead to opportunities in IT, Big4, and MNCs.

Do your graduation and post graduation from IGNOU as you will get exemption in many subjects as your ca is complete
You don't need to Go through B com
CAs has been recognised as graduate and post graduate
Does UPSC recognise CA as a Post Graduation Course... I doubt that !!

Here are some alternatives to CA course in today's globlised era :
1. Get an international degree in accounting / auditing e.g.  ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA, CPA (USA / AUS / NZ), CMA (USA), CIA, CISA, CFE etc. (all these courses are much easier than CA curriculum and several online / offline coaching classes are available in India).  
2. Go for a course in ERP - SAP, Oracle EBS, Microsoft Business Central (MS Dynamics).  
3. Go for a course on Data Analytics tools (ACL, IDEA), Data Visualisation / Business Intelligence Tools (R, Power BI, Tableau, Quilkview etc.).  
4. Go for a course on a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tool (e.g. UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism etc.).  
5. Go for a course on a GRC suite (e.g. RSA Archer, ServiceNow, SAP GRC etc. ) 

After gaining these degrees / certifications / skill sets, you will easily get an opportunity in an IT company, Big4, MNC, KPO, Global Delivery Centre / Shared Services Centre of an MNC / Big4.
