Actuarial science scope:
The growth in the Indian financial market is the major reason for the spurt in the demand for actuaries. Apart from the traditional areas of life and general insurance, pension and reinsurance, actuaries are now needed to play the roles of consultants, investment advisers and risk managers as well.. The health insurance sector is also expected to get a big dose of growth. There is huge potential for the sector in a populous country like India. Reforms in pension funds, whenever they happen, are also expected to add to the demand. India has the potential to emerge as a key actuarial back office in the BPO sector as well. A few companies are already in the business of low-level calculations. Once the supply pool expands, India can take up more complex and more lucrative back office work.
