As for CPA eligibility, you need 120 credits to appear for the CPA exam and 150 credits for a CPA license.

General rule: Every year of university education in India is equivalent to 30-semester credits of US education.
Some state boards award credit for international professional qualifications like CA.
For international CPA candidates from India, generally 3-year commerce graduates from NAAC A universities who have scored a 1 st division are awarded 120 credits and, therefore, your 4 years of engineering education you should qualify for the CPA exams.
