Hello! Actuarial Science essentially deals with the education of insurance risks and Financial Management of Insurance Companies. It involves the application of Mathematics, Statistics and Economics in the decision making process to a wide range of industries. The most prominent of these industries include insurance, investment and financial planning & management companies. Actuaries are professionals who are qualified in this field through education and experience

Eligibility:

In India, a fellow member of the Institute of Actuaries is known as an Actuary. To become a fellow, one has to first become a student member of the Institute and then clear all the papers of the Institute and fulfill other criteria from time to time. The eligibility criteria to appear for Actuarial papers are subjective. 10+2 passed students who have attained 85% marks in Mathematics / Statistics or graduate, or postgraduate students with 55% aggregate or more on Mathematics, Statistics are eligible to apply. There are a total of 15 papers and there is no fixed duration of the course. If pursued with complete dedication, the course could be completed in 3-4 years. The exams are conducted twice in a year in May/June and Oct/Nov. Thankfully there are no restrictions on the number of attempts per paper.

Training Areas

An Actuary looks into the future financial prospects of an insurance company. Actuaries use skills in mathematics, economics, computer science, finance, probability and statistics, and business to help businesses assess the risk of certain events occurring and to formulate policies that minimize the cost of that risk. For this reason, Actuaries are essential to the insurance and reinsurance industry, as staff employees or as consultants as well as to other businesses, including sponsors of pension plans and to the government. The Actuary’s certificate indicates a company’s ability to meet varying payments due at any time in future. He uses his professional skills to walk into the future and see how much income comes to the fund and how much expenses and benefit payments will go out of the fund of a company every year in future.

Following are some of the other areas that Actuaries are trained on( which is what I assume you have asked!):

1. Designing an insurance product and setting its price

2. Selecting the right people for insurance products.

3. Minimizing the amount of losses for the company by reinsuring the company’s insurance policies with another insurer (called reinsurers)

4. Maximizing the profits for the company and thus protecting the customers’ amounts kept with the insurance company for a number of years etc.

5. Preparing on a given date a summary of the company’s liabilities (commitments)

6. Determining the adequacy of the reserves.

7. Certifying the solvency of the Insurance Company

Dear aspirant,

Actuarial science is a difficult course and would need all your focus and attention. However, if you want to pursue a degree in economics you can go for any of the two.

There's is not much difference between BA economics and BA economics honours , except the later has a more in depth curriculum.

So you can choose the degree that suits you best!

I hope that cleared your doubt.

Regards!!

Hope that the information is helpful to you.
