Hi

Yes, you can pursue both CA and bcom together. For bcom, you can get admission in any college for bcom.

For pursuing CA, you don't need to join any college you just need to get registered yourself ,  now that you are done with your class 12th you need to start with CA foundation by registering on icaiexam.icai.org  (http://icaiexam.icai.org/) and prepare for the exams and clear them. You may  join coachings for preparation or rely on Selfstudy.

Here's a brief of your CA journey:-

Hello aspirant,

Yes. You can do a B.Com and CA together. There's no problem in doing that. Infact, the syllabus offered by most B.Com colleges in India resembles to the Chartered accountancy curriculum. So, you gain the advantage of getting two degrees simultaneously without going in two separate directions, or, without stepping in two different boats.

However, it is advisable for CA aspirants to get there graduation degree from Open college i.e. SOL. This is because the college timings can cause hindrance to the CA coaching or articleship.

I hope this information helps you.
