NMIMS CIS Pilot Batch Students secures 100% Success Rate in Institute of Risk Management (IRM) Level-1 Exam

The IRM’s February 2022 ERM Level-1 examination marks an important milestone in IRM’s collaboration with NMIMS, one of India’s pioneering education institutions. The students of the pilot batch of this collaboration had enrolled and appeared for the Level-1 examination in February through NMIMS’ CIS.

The students who had enrolled via NMIMS’ CIS got the exclusive advantage of live, virtual study sessions, delivered by qualified and trained NMIMS faculty. The highly interactive online lectures, exercises, mock tests and case studies provided as a part of these sessions by NMIMS’ CIS enabled faster doubt clarification and more effective preparation through appropriate evaluation approaches and ensured that the students were well-prepared for the intensive and highly competitive IRM examination.

The pilot batch students achieved a resounding success rate of 100% as all students who had enrolled for the IRM examination via NMIMs’ CIS, cleared the Level-1 examination in the first attempt.

This is the testimony to the outstanding quality of the IRM-NMIMS collaboration which offers a Professional Programme in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) through NMIMS’ Centre of International Studies (NMIMS CIS).

Palak Aggarwal, NMIMS Alumnus and Advisory Associate Analyst, Deloitte, secured 85.1% at the Level-1 student exam. Commenting on the outstanding results, she said, “I decided to pursue ERM certification through IRM last year after working in the realm of risk management with different companies. Realising that risk advisory is my calling, I wanted to gain further insight into this field while working towards an industry-recognised certification that can help me build my career.”

Palak added, “I chose IRM because the study material and support sessions provided by the institute are the holy grail for risk management enthusiasts. The Level-1 examination empowered me with a strong foundation in risk management principles. It is the first step in my pursuit of further certification.”

Today, risk management professionals are in high demand across every sector as businesses attempt to strengthen their risk intelligence and build resilience towards uncertainties. As the global economy goes through a period of turbulence in the face of war and post-pandemic recovery, businesses must remain alert and vigilant for any emerging risks like climate change and cyber-security.

Candidates with globally recognised ERM qualifications from the IRM, therefore, have the opportunity to empower their organisations through a well-planned risk management framework.
