Yes — MEC is the ideal group for CA because Mathematics sharpens quantitative aptitude tested in CA Foundation, and Economics + Commerce map directly to the CA syllabus. Many Hyderabad MEC colleges run integrated CA Foundation batches alongside intermediate.
Choose MEC if you are comfortable with mathematics; it keeps doors open for CA, actuarial science, economics honours and analytics. Choose CEC if you want to avoid maths and focus on commerce, law (CLAT) or civics-oriented careers.
