Swayam Tandon's FRM Part 1 pass is verified against his GARP May 2026 confirmation letter (primary), reproduced below, and his public LinkedIn post announcing the result.
GARP confirmed that Swayam Tandon passed the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) Exam Part I in the May 2026 exam window.
He announced the result publicly on LinkedIn and credited RBei Classes and Deepak Goyal, CFA & FRM charterholder.
Swayam Tandon is an Economics graduate from Christ University, Bangalore, based in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, who cleared FRM Part 1 in the May 2026 exam window with RBei Classes.
He is associated with The Xpressviews. This FRM Part 1 success story is published from his GARP letter and public LinkedIn post.
That profile — an early-career Economics graduate adding a globally recognised risk credential — is a common path into FRM Part 1. The exam still demands structured coverage of GARP's four Part 1 knowledge areas, which is why coaching and doubt-clearing matter as much for freshers as for working bankers.
Swayam Tandon prepared with RBei Classes and publicly credited structured guidance, concept clarity on complex risk topics, and consistent doubt support from Deepak Goyal, CFA & FRM charterholder.
RBei Classes is an FRM and CFA coaching institute founded in 2018 that trains candidates for GARP FRM and CFA Institute exams; every batch is taught personally by Deepak Goyal.
“I'm so incredibly happy to share that I've passed the Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) Exam Part I! Seeing this letter from GARP made all those long hours of studying and prep completely worth it. Honestly, tackling this material was no joke, and I definitely couldn't have crossed the finish line alone. I owe a massive thank you to my incredible tutors at RBei Classes Deepak Goyal, CFA, FRM CEO (RBei) Coach for CFA FRM SCR. Your patience, structured guidance, and ability to break down complex risk concepts made a world of difference for me. Thank you for always answering my questions and keeping me motivated! Taking a quick second to celebrate this milestone, and then it's time to start prepping for Part II!”
RBei Classes does not publish preparation hours, mock counts or leave details that a student has not stated directly. What is public and verified here is the GARP Part I result, the May 2026 window, and his credited coaching institute.

Yes. Swayam Tandon, an Economics graduate from Christ University, Bangalore, cleared FRM Part 1 in the May 2026 exam window after preparing with RBei Classes.
An Economics degree helps with markets intuition and quantitative foundations, but it does not replace the FRM Part 1 syllabus. Candidates 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.
Freshers and early-career candidates often do best with live or recorded classes plus scheduled doubt-clearing, rather than assembling notes from multiple sources. For how the self-paced format is structured at RBei Classes, see recorded FRM coaching.
FRM Part 1 is challenging but passable. GARP publishes Part I pass rates by window; long-run averages commonly sit in the mid-40s percent range. Freshers can sit the exam because GARP sets no degree or work-experience prerequisite for Part 1. Confirm current figures on the GARP FRM site.
