Yes, BBA students can appear for ACET (Actuarial Common Entrance Test). The only requirement is that you should have passed Class 12 with Mathematics. Your BBA background doesn’t stop you from applying. If you are good with numbers and interested in becoming an actuary, you are eligible. ACET is the first step to join the Institute of Actuaries of India (IAI). The exam is online, and you can apply easily on their official website.

It's a good idea to start preparing yourself now.

I'd like to make a few suggestions.

Because actuarial science is all about math and statistics, you should study math thoroughly.

Keep statistics and probability out of your way. Don't think that they are easy chapters so why bother with them, instead study them thoroughly and practise as much as you can keep doing research about the course, learn about the subjects you have to study there keep your mind clear about it and dont doubt it for a second because it is one of the best profession and if you are good at maths and have an interest in it then you are doing the right thing know the ways through which you can pursue it and find the ideal way for you to be successful

Best wishes!
