Disha Lalwani's FRM Part 1 pass is verified against her public LinkedIn announcement of top-quartile scores (1,1,1,1); the GARP badge image is reproduced on this page below.
GARP's FRM Exam Part I digital badge confirms that Disha Lalwani passed Part I.
She announced the result on LinkedIn with top-quartile scores (1,1,1,1) and credited RBei Classes and Deepak Goyal, CFA & FRM charterholder, for mentorship during her first year of graduation. The announcement was also reshared by Deepak Goyal.
Disha Lalwani is a first-year BBA student at Parul University, based in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, who cleared FRM Part 1 with top-quartile scores (1,1,1,1) after preparing with RBei Classes.
Her public LinkedIn About section describes a strong interest in finance and risk management and states that she is preparing for FRM Part 2. This FRM Part 1 success story is published from her GARP digital badge and public LinkedIn post — not from unpublished study logs.
That profile — an undergraduate in her first year of BBA adding a global risk credential before most peers start internships — is a different path from the working-banker stories also published on this site. GARP does not require a finished degree to sit Part 1; the exam still demands full coverage of four knowledge areas that a first-semester BBA timetable does not replace.
Disha Lalwani prepared with RBei Classes and described the milestone as challenging in her first year of graduation, then credited structured mentorship from Deepak Goyal, CFA & FRM charterholder.
RBei Classes is an FRM and CFA coaching institute founded in 2018; every batch is taught personally by Deepak Goyal. Her post does not list study hours or mock counts — RBei Classes does not invent those figures.
“Thrilled to share that I have cleared FRM Part 1 with Top Quartile scores (1,1,1,1), awarded by GARP (Global Association of Risk Professionals). Achieving this milestone in my first year of graduation was challenging, but with the guidance and mentorship of my tutor Deepak Goyal, CFA, FRM CEO (RBei) Coach for CFA FRM SCR, I was able to accomplish this goal. I'm truly grateful for his support. Looking forward to progressing to FRM Part 2 and continuing my learning journey.”
In this interview with RBei Classes, Disha Lalwani discusses clearing FRM Part 1 as a first-year BBA student with top-quartile scores (1,1,1,1).
Disha Lalwani's notation (1,1,1,1) means Q1 — GARP's top quartile — in each of the four FRM Part 1 knowledge areas.
GARP issues a pass or fail for the exam as a whole, then a quartile for each topic. Q1 is the highest band of that sitting (GARP's 76th–100th percentile of candidates in that knowledge area). A candidate can pass Part 1 without Q1 in every paper; writing (1,1,1,1) is a claim of even top-band standing across the syllabus, not a raw percentage.

Yes. Disha Lalwani cleared FRM Part 1 as a first-year BBA student at Parul University with top-quartile scores (1,1,1,1) after preparing with RBei Classes.
GARP sets no minimum degree and no work-experience rule to sit Part 1. The two-year experience requirement applies only when claiming the final FRM designation after both parts. Undergraduates still need a plan that covers Foundations of Risk Management, Quantitative Analysis, Financial Markets and Products, and Valuation and Risk Models — see the FRM Part 1 syllabus for official topic weights before building a schedule.
First-year candidates often do best with live or recorded classes plus scheduled doubt-clearing, rather than assembling notes between semester exams. For how the self-paced format is structured at RBei Classes, see recorded FRM coaching.
FRM Part 1 is challenging but passable: the global pass rate averaged about 49% over 2020–2025 (GARP windows, range 44–58%). Disha Lalwani called the milestone challenging in her first year of graduation and still recorded top-quartile scores (1,1,1,1).
A strong Class 12 Commerce result helps with markets intuition; it does not replace GARP's quantitative and valuation readings. Structured FRM coaching and timed practice matter when the target is even topic standing, not a thin pass.
