These are the ways, you have
1. Quit CA and go for a Bachelor Degree in Commerce(Regular/Full time). Though you've wasted an year/two, it doesn't count later as every recruiter would lay emphasis on your academic performance. CA is a hazy path and you can't expect every thing to be certain here. Search for the demotivational threads on CAClubindia to know the other side of CA.
2. Continue CA and perspire. CA is all about hard work and intelligence doesn't count. If you are good at number crunching , then choose something realted to Finance like B.Sc(Finance), BBA , B.Fin etc. and prepare for the management entrances. You can choose CA, if you don't have any such abilities relevant to the other fields. No matter how intelligent you are, if you don't study, you will fail in CA.
3.Continue CA and start pursuing your bachelor degree from a decent college. Bachelor degree serves as a great back up, but make sure that you are doing it from a decent college. You can convert your bachelor degree to distance learning at the articleship level or you can even submit a form for approval.
To conclude, you will get answer after your third attempt. If you pass the CPT level with a phenomenal improvement in your marks, then it is worth considering the second option. If you just clear the cut offs with a great difficulty, then I suggest you to go for the first or second option depending on your level of confidence.
