FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About CISA in India
Questions Indian candidates ask before choosing CISA training, registering for the exam or planning their career path.
What is CISA certification?
CISA stands for Certified Information Systems Auditor. It is a globally recognised ISACA certification for professionals who audit, monitor and assess information systems, IT governance, controls, operations, resilience and protection of information assets.
Is this a CISA course or the official CISA certification?
This is EduDelphi’s CISA training and exam-preparation course. The official CISA certification is awarded by ISACA after you pass the exam and meet ISACA’s certification requirements.
Who is eligible for CISA in India?
You can start CISA training and take the exam without a specific mandatory degree. To become fully certified, ISACA requires relevant professional experience in information systems auditing, control or security, with possible waivers according to ISACA policy.
Can freshers take the CISA exam?
Freshers can prepare for and take the CISA exam, but they must complete ISACA’s experience requirements before receiving the full CISA certification. Passing the exam early can still help build a strong audit and GRC career direction.
How long does it take to prepare for CISA?
Many working professionals need about 10-16 weeks of structured preparation depending on their audit, IT and security background. Beginners may need longer, while experienced IT auditors may move faster with focused mocks and revision.
What is the CISA exam pattern?
The CISA exam has 150 multiple-choice questions and a duration of 4 hours. ISACA uses a scaled score from 200 to 800, and 450 is the passing score.
Is the CISA exam hard?
CISA is challenging because questions test audit judgment, risk-based thinking and the best answer in a scenario. It becomes manageable with domain-wise study, question practice, mock exams and review of mistakes.
How much is the CISA exam fee?
Current ISACA-published CISA exam fees are US$575 for ISACA members and US$760 for non-members, with a separate US$50 application processing fee when applying for certification. Check ISACA before payment because fees and policies can change.
What is the CISA course fee in India?
EduDelphi’s CISA course fee depends on batch type, live online/self-paced format, offers and corporate enrollment. Request the fee breakup to see training fee, inclusions, EMI options and official exam-cost guidance separately.
Is CISA worth it in India?
CISA is worth considering if you want roles in IT audit, technology risk, internal audit, GRC, IT controls, compliance or assurance. It is less suitable if your goal is purely ethical hacking or hands-on cyber operations.
What salary can CISA professionals earn in India?
Typical India salary bands vary widely: IT Audit or Controls Associates may earn around ₹5-9 LPA, IT Auditors or GRC Analysts around ₹8-15 LPA, Senior IT Auditors around ₹15-28 LPA, and IT Audit Managers or Tech Risk Leads around ₹25-45+ LPA.
Do you offer CISA classes in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune?
Yes. EduDelphi delivers live online CISA classes across India, so candidates from major cities and Tier-2/Tier-3 locations can attend without relocation or classroom travel.
Will I get class recordings?
Yes. Live online learners receive recording access through the LMS so they can revise sessions, catch up on missed classes and revisit difficult topics before mocks.
Do you help with ISACA registration?
Yes. We guide you through membership considerations, exam registration, scheduling, remote proctoring basics and the certification application path. You still register and pay official fees directly to ISACA.
What is better for India: CISA or CISM?
Choose CISA if your goal is IT audit, controls, assurance or technology risk. Choose CISM if your goal is information security management and governance leadership. Many professionals eventually combine both.
