Hence, IRMA is open to providing financial assistance to meet the PRM tuition fees of extremely poor applicants. Participants can request for Exemption only after joining. 

A fund of Rs. 10 lakhs has been set aside by the Institute for the participants facing economic deprivation to bridge the gap between the dates of payment of IRMA and the disbursement of payment from different financing options (e.g. Bank loan, fee waiver/exemption scheme of IRMA etc.).
