ohh god !!!! many people here are asking what sort of course is actuarial science.. People, actuaries is the most valued course in financial sector. It is a specialisation on Insurance, Investments & Employee benefit plans etc. Actuarial course is tougher than CA. A fresher of Actuarial course will be earning more than a fresher of CA course because currently the course is in peak demand. I have heard from someone that in India at present there are less than 5000 actuaries only., & this shows the toughness of that course
