Disa FAQs
About DISA course.
Q. What approach should I follow to pass the DISA course in the ICAI?
Ans. I applied and completed the DISA course recently in the first attempt
During the classes i used to listen carefully and try to highlight important points in Modules itself with highlighter
During the module exams i used to study modules completely & also i covered the questions given on the DISA DVD – Completed all modules test and project work with 62/80 marks – to get this marks i never stressed by reading the modules and hundreds of question and answers ( I just listened to the classes and tried to understand the concepts as above said i highlighted the important points)
Because parallel study in the class itself i saved lot of time so that i have taken only two days to revise the Modules before attempting the Eligibility Test – I completed this test with 106/120 Marks
Assessment Test(Final Test) – after that i stuck with my outstation audits – whether u believe or not i did not get a time to revise the sufficient time revise all the modules
On the day of exam early in the morning i sat for three hours and read the all highlighted points in all modules which helped me a lot i completed my assessment Test with 141/200 Marks
Important Things
Please try to highlight the Important paras in each chapter and each module – this saves lot of time
Take Module tests little serious – try to complete the entire syllabus for Eligibility test itself, so that u no need stress much for Assessment Test
If u take Classes soo easy iam telling you it is very difficult to read all modules again
All the Best !!

Mandatory to give viva.
Q. Could anyone please tell me about the project work and viva conducted during training classes.
And about the three module test which is organized online by ICAI.
Ans.
Viva is taken from your project work. You should be through with contents written in your project..
Tips:-
1:- Have an understanding of all the terms used in your project. They ask questions on terms used in project
2:- Prepare a set of probable 15-20 questions which u would ask to someone as if u are taking viva. You will find all these questions in viva.
3:- Since viva is taken in group but in front of whole batch.. you need not to worry much ,everyone are just like us, everybody has copied it from internet. Even the faculty knows this fact.. They test your basic understanding of project to check. The primary objective is to ascertain whether a candidate has copied blindly or not?
For example:- My project was on IS audit of CBS.
So question they asked :-
1:- What is CBS?
Now I started explaining them then a word came out from me “Controls”
2:- what are controls and can u categories them?
3:- what controls deficiency u have identified in your project?
In nutshell,
1:- Be very clear with the findings/observations/comments given in your project.
90% questions will be asked on these findings.
2:- you will asked to explain these findings and how did your overcome these
Q. Can anyone tell about the three module test which is organized online by ICAI??

Disa Video Lecture Doubts
Q. Are E-learning videos for DISA ET exams?
Ans.
Firstly e-learning modules and ET Tests are different,
secondly, there are total of 4 tests.
For more information watch this video :
Ans. DISA Module 4 chapter 3 contains all the concepts of ISA 3.0 e-learning like software, DBMS and networking. So it is not out of the syllabus but practicing 500 approx. questions for just one chapter is not feasible that’s why I am not advising to practice e-learning questions, just clear your basics with e-leaning content i.e. Module 0. It will also help you to understand many other chapters of DISA Module 5 like network controls.
Q. Sir I have cleared ISA ET in 2014.
Can I apply for AT Test under DISA 2.0 or again I have to clear DISA ET under DISA 3.0 ?
Kindly clarify.
Ans. Yes you can apply for DISA AT exam , but under DISA 3.0 course. You don’t have to give DISA ET under DISA 3.0 again.
