Need your support in getting clarity on "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years".

Today, I received ECA soft copy from IQAS.
-For Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) Degree from Delhi University=> Canadian Equivalency: Three- year undergraduate degree program.
-For Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (PGDBA) from SCDL, Pune=> Canadian Equivalency: Two-year Graduate diploma program.

Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Well on CRS calculator, Score is 441 with CLB 10 (IELTS- L:8.5, R:8, W:7.5 & S:7.5) and 429 with CLB9 (IELTS- L:8, R:7, W:7 & S:7). Now I will appear for IELTS soon and target for CLB 10 to get maximum score. Post getting CLB 10 only, I will create EE profile.

Yes, you can definitely get "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees" with your existing degrees.
Though, you might get considered under "Master's Degree, or professional degree" as you have completed study of 4+2 years (Total 6 years). In my case it was B.Com of 3 years + PGDBA 2 years (Total 5 years), so I am eligible for "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees" category for CRS scoring.
