The Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia: Upholding Excellence in Property Surveying

The Royal Institution of Surveyors Malaysia (RISM) stands as the premier professional body and learned society for the surveying profession in the country. Established over five decades ago, its mandate is to advance the science and practice of surveying, uphold the highest ethical standards, and safeguard public interest. For aspiring property surveyors, RISM is not just an institution; it is the gateway to a recognised and respected career.

Within its framework, the Property Surveying Division is particularly vital, focusing on the multifaceted disciplines of valuation, property management, real estate agency, and development consultancy. To ensure practitioners possess the requisite expertise, RISM administers a rigorous suite of professional examinations that are considered the benchmark for competency in the field.

Successfully passing these examinations is a significant milestone. It fulfills the academic requirement for professional membership (MRISM) and is a critical step towards becoming a Registered Valuer, Estate Agent, and Property Manager under the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers (BOVAEP). In essence, the RISM exams bridge academic achievement with statutory professional recognition.

The various pathways to different disciplines of RISM Examinations are available in this page here.

However, we are at this website – rismexam.com, focus only on the Property Surveying discipline which enables the registration with BOVAEP the licences of Valuation, Property Management and Estate Agency Practice (RV, RPM and REA).

Of particular interest is the Graduate Entry Pathway, or Direct Final Examination for non-specific graduates who are from non-professional background of RISM disciplines, this is a 10 papers 1 sitting mode for FAST TRACK to qualify as RV, RPM and REA.

Our website – rismexam.com is specific for this purpose.

Thank you.
