Just as there are regulatory bodies for accountants (ICAI for CAs and ICWAI for ICWAs) the regulatory and reciognized body for the study of actuarial discipline is the Actuarial Society of India. However, I am sorry to see that no post mentions this.

Hey tumtum.
Thanks 4 ur reply..
I know that the institutes that I've mentioned for actuaries courses are below par. I don't intend to be an actuary. Im workin with an MNC and gonna be here 4 a yr or so.. I intend to do my MBA in finance next year followed by CFA/CFP and FRM. But was thinkin of doin a small 1 yr distance learning course in actuarual science.Thats the idea.
Could u suggest any such institute..
Thanks again

Hi All,
I would appear in CT1, CT2 & CT3 exam to be held in Nov. 08. If anyone knows any openings for actuarial sudents do let me know.
To make it clearer ASI is the only institute which is formally recognised Institute by Institute of actuaries of London and is worth trying. Else than this no any actuarial education acquired in India is considered as at par with world class standards.

Regards,
Siddharth

also the no. of students reaching the final level is very less.

Any actuarial course is very long let it be India ,US or Iraq

You will need to pass 15-16 papers to get that fellowship, and will need immense dedication and hardwork for the same!

And yes, actuaries are actually one of the highest paid people in USA. Infact Actuaries has ranked in top 2-3 jobs in USA for last 5 years in terms of job satisfaction.
