I  will graduate in December 2010 with a Bachelors in Accounting. I will graduate with ~3.7 gpa from a Tier 2 university in the US. I am doing an audit internship with a regional public accounting firm right now but they told me not to expect getting a job offer at the end of the internship. I am trying to find a job very hard and will continue till December but I am not very optimistic about my chances. I don't think I will be able to land any job. I have enough credit hours to sit for the CPA exam.  I could just find a volunteering opportunity to maintain my status during OPT, take the CPA exams, hope that I will pass the CPA exams on the first try itself and then hope that I will be able to find a job after passing the CPA exams. Or, I could join a Masters program and hope that I will find a job after Masters.

But I feel like both of these things will just help me stall the problem. I feel like I am just delaying the inevitable. I was thinking about a third option. I was thinking may be I could transfer some of my credits to a university in India and study Chartered Accountant there and then go back to Nepal and find work as a Chartered Accountant in Nepal. I know it probably is really hard to find a job in Nepal but I already have a house in Kathmandu so as long as I am able to earn Rs 15,000 (fifteen thousand) monthly I would be more than happy in Nepal.  

Does anyone have any suggestion for me? I have no clue how Chartered Accountant education works in India. How long is the program? What much money does it cost? Where do I start looking for schools and admission requirements? I would really appreciate any suggestion/advice in this regard. I  am a 23 year old male, if that makes any difference.

tldr*; graduating with BS Accounting, want to transfer credits, study CA in India and return to Nepal

*tldr=too long; didn't read

I think it is much easier to get CPA than CA from India as you are going to college in USA. As you know the test are computer based and you have time limit to pass all four. You can take one at a time or what ever you want. Once you joint OPT in an audit form it will make you easier for Audit exam, in Audit exam,  question needed practical experience than memorizing the processes and it will be a plus point for you. 
Do not be dubious just concentrate and study hard as you have heard " राडी फटाएर पढने . "
 You will over come. Wish you a good luck.

First of all, sorry to hear that you did not get a full time offer.

Getting back to the advisory council: pass your CPA exams while you are in States. At the same time, keep looking for jobs; auditing season for NPO's are coming, and after that you got Y/E and tax season. Once your time in America expires, you could get your CA, I believe you just need couple of extra papers. Good luck!
