Group codes, subject combinations, and undergraduate eligibility change — confirm the current offer with the admitting school and official admission notifications before you decide.

Chartered Accountancy, Cost Accountancy and Company Secretaryship are institute pathways. Entry rules live on icai.org, icmai.in and icsi.edu. A school group code is not a registration number.
2702 and 2708 both teach Accountancy, Commerce and Economics. 2708 adds Business Mathematics. 2702 adds Computer Applications. Pick the fourth paper you can score in; then read the institute.
Banking and B.Com programmes are college admissions, not ICAI. Science or humanities students should still read the institute page rather than assume a ban.

FAQ
Is 2708 mandatory for CA?
No. Accountancy is in both commerce groups. ICAI publishes eligibility. Business Maths can help numerically; it is not a substitute for the institute form.
When do articleship and foundations start?
Those calendars change. Use the institute website for the year you register.
