IRM India Affiliate - NMIMS CIS

Professional Programme in Enterprise Risk Management

The Professional Programme in Enterprise Risk Management, curated by IRM India Affiliate and NMIMS Centre for International Studies is a structured pathway towards becoming a dynamic, globally focused risk-intelligent business leader, entrepreneur or manager. The programme covers live virtual study sessions delivered by NMIMS integrated with the Institute of Risk Management's (IRM) global ERM examinations from Level 1 to Level 3. The highly interactive online lectures, exercises, mock tests and case studies qualify for academic credits and certification from NMIMS with professional designations from the IRM, the world leader for ERM qualifications across 140+ countries

The average study investment on a part-time basis for all three levels is about 3 years with an approximate total investment of INR 8 lakhs (including the NMIMS teaching and certification fees and IRM exam and global certification fees), which translates to INR 2.7 lakhs for a year, a recognition at par with International Masters after passing the Level 3 exam (Year 3) and a Certified Fellowship at Level 5 after demonstrating work experience.
