According to direct entry route, a candidate can enroll for Intermediate directly without going through Either CPT or CA Foundation.

• Students who are Graduate/ Post Graduate in Commerce and secured a minimum of 55% can register directly for Intermediate without passing CA  Foundation or CPT.
• Similarly like Commerce Graduates, Non-commerce Graduates/ Post Graduates can also register for Intermediate by securing 60% marks in Graduation/ Post Graduation.
• Apart from the above, the students who cleared the Intermediate level of the Institute of Cost Accountants of India or The Institute of Company Secretaries of India.

So, you have to do foundation first, then you can register for CA Intermediate.

Well, I don't think you need to CA Foundation first because the minimum requirement for direct entry scheme is 50%. For best, you can do one think either visit the ICAI website or check out this detailed guide on CA Foundation Registration and CA IPCC Registration..!

I hope for the best.
