Internal auditing involves the utilization of a systematic methodology for analyzing business processes or organizational problems and recommending solutions. Professionals called internal auditors are employed by organizations to perform the internal auditing activity. The scope of internal auditing within an organization is broad and may involve internal control topics such as the efficacy of operations, the reliability of financial reporting, deterring and investigating fraud, safeguarding assets, and compliance with laws and regulations

Internal Audit is a specialized audit procedure with an objective to analyze efficiency. i.e. cost savings, proper utilization of expenditure, proper recording of income. This is done to avoid fraud. Internal Audit is time based.

Internal auditing is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization's operations. It helps an organization accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes.

There is a well recognised course leading to CIA- Certified Internal Auditor. https://www.theiia.org/certification/certified-internal-auditor/
Else CISA as you might know, is computer based audit is globally recognised qualfication. It is not specifically for internal audit, but more about auditing in an information systems environment, such as a bank. CISA is becoming more of a mandotory qualfication, espeically in attest functions of banks etc.
I know both these courses can be done in India. CISA and CIA qualifieds are hired by the big four audit firms as well.
If you are looking for purely internal auditing, CIA is better.
