Yes, ISACA certification (like CISA and CISM) are highly valuable in India. This is true particularly for students targeting IT, Governance, and Cybersecurity Management. These are widely recognised by major Indian tech services, and can help students earn a hike of 20% to 40% in their next jobs.

A certification only costs Indian students between INR 65 K and INR 90 K. However, the post ISACA certification average salaries for students go as high as USD 151,000 and INR 1.44 Cr.

Getting certifitied by ISACA requires Indian students to pay an exam fees, a one-time processing fee, and a annual membership or maintenance fees. The exam fees for Indian students with a ISACA membership is USD 575 (INR 55 K).

For non-members, exam fees for ISACA certification costs USD 760 (INR 72.8 K). Other additional charges can take the overall costs for Indian students between INR 65 K and INR 90 K.

ISACA stands for Information Systems Audit and Control Association. It is a global professional association and learning organisation which develops standards, frameworsks, and certifications in the fields of IT governance, cybersecurity, auditing, digital trust, and risk management.

It also developed COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology), an internationally recognised framework for IT management and governance.

ISACA is a global professional association that sets industry standards for IT governance, cybersecurity, and risk manageemnt. CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) is one of the professional credentials awarded by ISACA.

The key difference is that ISACA is the organisation and CISA is the certification it offers to individuals.
