Eligibility
Ideally a numerate degree like statistics, math's, engineering, science and economics will be suitable to go ahead with this program. A number of universities are offering graduate and post graduate courses in actuarial sciences. Mere completion of such courses does not make one eligible to practice as an actuary, but such courses give students better conceptual clarity and get them better equipped.
To qualify as an Actuary, a candidate has to pass all examinations in the prescribed subjects conducted by the professional examining body of the Actuarial Society of their respective countries like
• Institute of Actuaries, London
• Faculty of Actuaries in Scotland
• Institute of Actuaries, Australia
• Society of actuaries, USA
• Casualty Actuarial Society, USA
The Actuarial Society are the professional examining bodies which conduct certificate, associateship level and fellowship level examinations and on passing these examinations and upon satisfying the other criteria specified for the purpose, candidates become eligible to be admitted as fellow member of the Society.
