Every step is an elimination round
The candidate must possess a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent, with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks or equivalent in any discipline, from a recognized university in India or abroad (recognized by the UGC / Association of Indian Universities). The bachelors’ degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must entail a minimum of three years of education, after completing higher secondary schooling under the 10+2 system or equivalent. Candidates appearing in the final year of their bachelor’s degree or equivalent are also eligible, provided they furnish the proof of having met the minimum eligibility criteria of graduation. It is desired that candidates complete all academic requirements before joining the program to enable them to keep pace with the rigorous and internal assessment schedule of the program.
The program year is divided into two semesters of 5 months each. At the end of each semester students will be examined on the modules you have taken.
Both the semesters would last for approximately 20 weeks each, with about 18 weeks of teaching and two weeks of assessment.
All modules have exam-based assessment, case study analysis and workshop participation-based assessment. The weightage of each component may vary for each paper.
Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI) will follow the traditional CGPA score concept and hence students would get a comparative sense of where they stand within their peer group.
We aim to apply very high standards in admitting students to the institute since we hope to be in a position by the end of the first year where our students are greatly in demand on the one hand, and spoilt for choice in potential employers on the other. This will imply that CGPA scores would become tough to secure, and also relevant for future employers as they would secure top talent graduating from GRMI. We are certain that all organizations hiring out of GRMI would be top corporates and risk consulting firms, who would settle for no less than the best talent on campus.
We would be delighted to see this trigger off a compensation tussle amongst some of the large hiring organizations.
As a specialised institute, we recognise the need of multidisciplinary approach in the ever evolving arena of risk management required to work together with other centres of risk expertise around the world.
We have created a curriculum that spans across all aspects of enterprise risk, financial, operational and compliance, and provides nuanced insights across all key industry verticals.
GRMI offers 1 year full time on-campus PGDRM programme-Post graduate diploma in Risk Management / International Diploma in Risk Management (Level 7).
The Post Graduate Diploma in Risk Management (“PGDRM”) is a 1-year full-time on-campus programme delivered at GRMI’s Gurugram campus. It is one of the best courses after graduation for individuals looking to specialize in the risk management domain.
Any student who has completed his or her graduation with or without 0-4 years of work experience, and has interest in the Risk Management domain, can pursue the full-time PGDRM programme. It is a post-graduation course and is best suited for candidates who have interest in specialized education specifically in the Risk Management domain.
PGDRM is a specialization programme that covers 1,000+ hours of classroom learning and has special emphasis on Risk Management skill sets which are relevant for the industry. While the programme is intense, the 1-year duration is adequate to cover the learning hours. 1-year PG diploma courses offer very lucrative Return on Investment (“ROI”) from the programme.
Since this is a specialised course, any graduate can pursue this course if he or she ahs strong logical reasoning skills and business acumen. Prior knowledge or understanding of Risk Management is not required. It is one of the best PG diploma courses in terms of career opportunities and Return on Investment (“ROI”). The programme is practical and case-study-oriented, delivered majorly by senior industry practitioners.
Effective Risk Management is becoming critical across industries – Services, Manufacturing, Telecom, Hospitality, Consulting, Banking & Financial Services, amongst others. Risk advisory services alone have a market size of over $15 BN and are growing at an extremely fast rate of 15 % YOY.
Top 250 companies spend ~ USD 30-50 MN each on risk-related activities. This kind of a market size translates into a great career opportunity in finance and risk management domain for all aspiring professionals. For those looking for specialized knowledge in the Financial Risk Management domain, the PGDRM programme is extremely useful given that it includes robust coverage of the FRM course.
With no structured and comprehensive programme in India or even globally to address the incredible skill-set gap, the trained Risk Management professionals from GRMI will have an edge over other professionals in this space.
Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI) is the only institute in India or globally that provides a comprehensive coverage of Risk Management. The curriculum is specially designed to cover all facets of risk management. It caters to an unprecedented demand for risk professionals required across Consulting and Corporates in India, thereby making it one of the most preferred courses after B.Com.
GRMI is committed to having a strong governance structure, with active engagement, mentoring, and support from the governing leaders. GRMI is overseen by its governing bodies — Board of Directors, Strategy Board, Global Advisory Board, and Academic Council which include national and international prominent figures from industry, consulting, and academia. The senior management team comprising the founding members of the institution, that is, the Dean, the President, and the Programme Director, collectively brings more than 50 years of corporate experience.
GRMI is committed to ensuring an environment where the students get to interact with senior global business leaders and risk practitioners. GRMI is privileged to have industry and consulting leaders associated to it who are committed to knowledge-sharing with the students.
We believe that the invaluable depth of the experience that these leaders bring in adds a significant value to the learning curve of the students, and hence GRMI takes pride in creating an experiential learning environment that is unparalleled in other Indian institutions.
In current market scenario, the one thing which can easily be termed as our USP is the placement opportunities for all our students, to serve a USD 40 B+ market growing at a steady pace, however, we believe that’s an end product that we are committed to deliver, and not really our USP.
Our USP is the cutting edge course curriculum delivered by an enviable mix of corporate and academia leaders through case studies developed by CXOs of Fortune 500 companies. All this with the support of corporate world leaders, who believe in creating an ecosystem for risk professionals with us.
Since PGDRM is a 1-year programme, it gives students a significant edge in comparison with a 2-year programme in terms of its focus on niche and specialized Risk Management domain skill sets, and the Return on Investment (“ROI”) it offers. The faculty here is a combination of Industry and Academic professionals and includes business scenarios and real-life case studies as part of its curriculum. PGDRM is definitely one of the best courses after commerce for anyone aiming for a career in risk management.
After completing graduation in commerce stream, students are at a very critical juncture to give a specific direction to the career. At this stage, it is important that they make a career choice which is well thought through, informed, and aligns to their longer-term objective. Specialized education courses are getting prominence now given the traction they are getting from the industry. Industry is now looking for specialized talent rather than general managers.
If you are looking to have a fast-tracked career growth, with extensive opportunity to learn and contribute to the success of an organization, then you should explore a career in Risk Management. If you enjoy problem-solving, approaching problems with an analytical approach, and contributing to enhancing organizational performance, then you are the right candidate for this domain. Risk Management opens up global opportunities to work across industries including but not limited to Consulting, Manufacturing, Services, Telecom, Hospitality, Banking, amongst others. It’s a smart career option with a great ROI for those considering professional courses after graduation.
In our experience, young aspirants with passion to learn, good analytical skills, a logical thinking process, an ability to understand business, and good communication skills have transformed into successful Risk Management professionals.
GRMI is a nationally recognized school by the MEPSC (Management and Entrepreneurship & Professional Skills Council). MEPSC operates as a part of the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India and is a recognized Awarding Body by the Skills Regulator — National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET). GRMI qualifications are recognized by UK OTHM / Ofqual. OTHM Qualifications is approved and regulated by Ofqual, UK and is recognized by Qualifications Wales. Alumni of GRMI have got employment opportunities equivalent to, or rather superior to, some of the better post-graduate degree programs in India.
GRMI does not provide a degree.
The world is moving towards specialization. As per a recent survey covered in the newspaper, professionals with specialized skills only survive in the long run, and generalist will find it difficult to survive. We believe, PGDRM from GRMI should be looked as an alternate to Masters. It’s a full time one year class room education program with cutting edge curriculum and extensive infusion of live case studies, to give students a more practical experience.
In addition to specific Risk Management papers, we are also focusing on all round development of our students, and hand-picked key other subject papers like HR, Organization Behavior, Cyber Risk and Strategic Thinking, which will benefit our students in their corporate careers. We have also embedded as part of our student development program a unique “Communication & Cultural Enhancement Module” that will be run through the year with an extremely personalized delivery. This will be aimed at improving each individual student on the two parameters of communication and cultural awareness, both are key for a successful global professional.Our endeavor at GRMI is to build an ecosystem for Risk Professionals. In doing this we are getting consulting organization, industry houses and aspiring risk professionals at a common platform to explore working for and with best in Risk Management space.Our discussions with risk-consulting and corporate leaders have indicated that deep domain and all-round development that will be delivered at GRMI through the PGDRM program is almost certainly going to mean faster career tracks for PGDRM students, as compared to their peers who join with more generic qualifications. This will hold true for all professionals pursuing a career in the domain of risk, compliance, controllership and internal audits.
