Experience actuary discuss some reality and myths about actuary to help the freshers

Online coaching is quite expensive and my father is not willing to pay .

For my CS2 exam some concepts seemed very abstract to me, like K-Means Clustering and yk like how do Markov Chains stablise or even how do things tend to Normality as n->inf and so to visualise them I started to develop simulations.

I built a small interactive simulator where you can watch the algorithms run step by step. For ex. In K-Means you can drag centroids around mid-simulation, and see how the clusters reform:

It helped the concept properly click for CS2, and I think some of it overlaps with CS1 too. There are a few other simulations on the site (random walks, Markov chains, survival curves, law of large numbers, central limit theorem, etc.) which might useful for other parts of the stats papers.

Happy to take requests if there's a concept people find hard to visualize; might build a simulations for it :))

affordable and well, good faculty

I have just started my prep for cb 1 and cb2 and planning to give the September attempt from IFoa . Where can I find the readings or any other material for free?

Hey how much time ideally it take to clear 7 actuary exam if someone is doing a 9 hour job in different job profile other than actuary

For entry in actuary science job, MSC math or stats or mA economics is good path for campus placement or just go for clearing exam and building skill but that will bring gap year for 2-3 year for 6 exams. For fresher entry is very hard i have noticed! I discovered actuary job recently and I can't pursue MSC acturial science coarse that is too much costly

Same as the title. I'm from a stat background also

hi so i gave acet this june, ill be siting on november for cs1+cb2, any thing you can tell me because i aint going to any coaching and all, ill do it all by myself and youtube.

Hey my qualification are bsc statistics and maths, but i completed it in 2025 and i did data science coarse and it didn't find interest in it and than i worked in bpo also for 2-3 month for money but than i found actuary as a career and applied for acet and cleared but i am confused now whether I will get job after passing exam or not and i will be having 2-2.5 year gap because to pass few exam , and my doubt is 2.5 year of gap is even considered by companies or not?

I have a eco background but still want to study ... cmp has nothing and sloman has excess... what should i do

Im in 11th, commerce with core math cbse. I'm interested in actuarial science. Ive been doing good in math since the start, i scored a 96 in my boards. Im thinking about the degree to do for it. Im thinking about bsc stat or bcom(i live in delhi). Your opinions matter to me a lot so please help here.

Can anyone please tell what all they know about actuary profession? what is the pay and all?

Hello. I am 22F did my B.Tech in Information Technology. I worked in a MNC for 5 months but did not really find the domain(SAP) assigned to me interesting so i left the job.

I came across the field actuarial science recently , from what i learned u need to find maths interesting to survive in this one which is a okay to me .Can anyone please give me some suggestion from where I should start and as someone who is into IT, can it create oppurtunities for me in the future.

Hi guys. I am preparing for CS1 & CM1 for next IAI Diet. I am stuck @t the 3rd chapter of CS1. Does anyone have any simple notes on MGF?

Hi, I am 26 years old.
I got graduated in applied stats and analytics back in 2021, after that I worked for 1.5 years as quantitative data analyst but after that i have a gap (uptill now) of almost 2.5 years for UPSC Indian Statistical Services Preparation.
I am thinking of pivoting back into corporate, but it seems the market is relatively tough right now for gap years people.

I am thinking of giving actuarial papers as these papers aligned mostly with my stats and math background (also i have actuarial science as a subject in my undergrad). I have cleared ACET June attempt and i'll sitting for CS1 and CM1 in oct-nov 2026.

My doubts are that:

1. Is it too late for me now at this age (26) to pursue actuarial papers as people usually start actuarial early in india?

2. Will there be any biased against the people like me with this much gap during hiring? although i do have necessary skills and projects related to data analytics like python, SQL and tableau. By May 2027 i will be having almost 3.5 years of gap but with some of the cleared actuarial papers hopefully.

Any suggestions on this matter would be extremely helpful!!!!
