With the growth of the insurance sector, particularly after the entry of international companies into the country, employment opportunities in the area of Actuarial Science have increased.

While a trained person can land a good job with any insurance company, a qualification from the Actuarial Society of India is not the only route to join an insurance firm. You may consider a PG diploma in Insurance Management, or Actuarial Science.

Prominent institutions offering these courses include the Insurance Institute of India, Mumbai; the National Insurance Academy, Pune; and the Institute of Insurance Surveyors and Adjusters, Mumbai.
