Risk Management Course FAQ’S-GENERAL
PGDRM-Post Graduate Diploma in Risk Management is a 1-year full time on campus programme.
Any graduate, as well as working professionals with 0–4 years of experience, can pursue the one-year full-time PGDRM programme in Gurgaon. This programme welcomes learners from all backgrounds who are committed to advancing their careers in risk management.
The one-year PGDRM is a specialised and intensive programme that offers over 1,000 hours of focused learning. It combines practical training with industry-relevant skills, enabling students to gain the expertise needed in risk management roles quickly. Unlike longer programmes, it is designed to deliver deep knowledge efficiently, supported by a strong track record of 98% placement, making it sufficient to launch a successful career.
Since PG in Risk Management India is a specialized course, any graduate can pursue this course if he/she is willing to learn and has an interest in this industry.
We work closely with small batch / class sizes to ensure you turn out to be a top risk professional in the Country. The programme is practical and case study oriented, and based on experienced learning.
Effective risk management is becoming critical across industries such as services, manufacturing, telecom, consulting, and even for aspiring entrepreneurs.
According to global market forecasts, the risk management market is projected to grow from approximately USD 15.4 billion in 2024 to around USD 51.97 billion by 2033, expanding at an annual growth rate of about 14.6%. This rise reflects increasing operational complexity, regulatory requirements, and cybersecurity threats facing organisations worldwide. Consequently, the demand for skilled risk managers is rising year by year, making it one of the fastest-growing career fields globally.
Risk advisory services, a key part of this domain, are also expanding rapidly. Market analysts estimate this segment could exceed USD 426 billion by 2034, driven by growing demand for strategic risk assessment and mitigation.
Currently, there is no structured, comprehensive full-time programme in India—or even globally—that addresses the significant skill gap in this field. Graduates from GRMI emerge as well-trained risk management professionals, giving them a distinct advantage over others in the industry.
Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI) is the only institute in the world that covers all aspects of Risk Management in India within a non-technical classroom environment.
The curriculum is specially designed to cover every facet of risk management and caters to the growing demand for 5,000 risk professionals required in the country every year.
Credibility at GRMI is defined by the quality of leadership driving the entire programme. Led by the Dean, who brings over 30 years of global experience in Risk Advisory, and supported by a distinguished Board of Directors and Strategy Board, an internationally represented Global Advisory Board, and an impressive Academic Council, GRMI stands as a hallowed portal for creating future leaders for both the country and the world.
GRMI is committed to fostering an environment where students interact with more global leaders and risk practitioners than any other institute can offer. A large network of industry experts and consulting professionals are committed to GRMI and regularly dedicates time to knowledge-sharing sessions with students.
In the current market scenario, one aspect that can easily be termed as our USP is the internship and placement opportunities offered to all our students, enabling them to serve a USD 40+ billion market that is growing at a steady pace. However, we believe these outcomes are end products that we are committed to delivering, rather than our true USP.

This is further strengthened by the support of global corporate leaders who believe in partnering with us to create a robust ecosystem for developing the next generation of risk professionals.

The faculty at GRMI is a blend of industry practitioners and academic professionals, ensuring that the curriculum is enriched with real-life case studies and practical insights.
Before taking the next career decision, one must evaluate the actual objective they wish to achieve. Some individuals choose to take up a corporate job to gain practical exposure before pursuing a master’s degree, enabling them to better understand and apply classroom concepts. Others prefer to learn these concepts upfront in the classroom, with the expectation that they will develop the necessary skills to step into business roles and contribute to an organisation’s success from day one.
At the Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI), we offer students a unique opportunity to experience the best of both worlds. Our programmes provide specialised skill sets that prepare students for value-adding business roles, combining academic learning with real-world application.

If you aspire to a fast-paced, dynamic career with extensive opportunities to learn and contribute to organisational success, a career in Risk Management is worth exploring. Individuals who enjoy problem-solving, analytical thinking, and performance enhancement are particularly well-suited for this field.
Risk Management offers global career opportunities across industries such as consulting, manufacturing, and services, and across key business functions including finance, treasury, operations, supply chain, compliance, controllership, and HR.
Over the years, our successful students—driven by a passion to learn, strong analytical abilities, logical thinking, business acumen, and effective communication skills—have transformed into highly successful Risk Management professionals.
The Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI) does not offer a degree and chooses to remain independent, similar to many other top business schools in India and across the world. GRMI offers a certificate/diploma-based upskilling programme for students. Therefore, we have not sought recognition for our Post Graduate Programme in Risk Management from either AICTE or UGC. A similar practice is followed by several leading business schools in the country.
However, the PGDRM at GRMI is endorsed by a UK accreditation body and is globally accepted. OTHM is a UK awarding body regulated by Ofqual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation) and recognised by Qualifications Wales.

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, Financial Risk Management (FRM), Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), Cyber Risk and Strategic Thinking, which will benefit our students in their corporate careers.

Our endeavor at GRMI is to build an ecosystem for Risk Professionals. In doing this we are getting consulting organizations, industry houses and aspiring risk professionals at a common platform to explore working for and with the best in the 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.
