Demand in Actuarial Profession:
- Insurance and Banking Industry in India and globally likely to generate many jobs for Actuarial Professionals the next few years.
- Today most of the actuarial jobs particularly in product pricing, asset valuations, compensation plan designing and various other non-insurance areas needing actuaries are carried out by MBAs or other professionals who may not be ideally competent enough to perform them.
- The most important reason for a slow growth rate of Actuarial Graduates is poor awareness and lack of educational facilities to provide good quality training in India.
Employment Opportunities for actuarial graduates:
- Insurance
- Pension plans and Fund Management
- Banking and finance
- Actuarial/Management consulting
- Government agencies: Social Security Administration, Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, and Department of Housing and Urban Development in developed nations.
- Brokerage houses and software development companies.
