I heard about Actuary Profession in 2012 when I was in Deloitte pursuing my Articleship where some of my teammates were doing Actuary. I heard that this is a course for students who love maths and it is quite a lucrative field due to short supply. When i joined the profession there were less than 250 Actuaries so it was a dare for me to start into new field as student when I was on verge of completing my CA. My journey to become Actuary was like roller coaster which started from downside and then taken extreme ups then down and jump and became Actuary.

On your journey to becoming an actuary you have to pass a series of exams on a wide variety of subjects. Just as actuarial science is a harmonious blend of statistics and finance, these exams are a blend of both theoretical and practical questions.

I am Pratik Mohta and I am a graduate in Economics from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata. I am currently working as an Actuarial Analyst in a consulting firm.

Clearing actuarial papers is always a happy feeling; but getting a 1st Rank put me right on cloud nine. I always credit my parents and mentors for my success.
