Actuarial science is like CA. There's a society and you have to become its fellow and they strictly control the number of people who become actuaries so just mastering the subject which does not guarantee you being an actuary. This is exactly like CA. Expertise in mathematics is needed to even understand what is going on in actuarial science so what is done in actuarial science is essentially statics applied to a very specific problem so you have to understand broad maths, broad statistics and apply it to the problem of insurance. That is what actuarial science is about because the numbers are controlled, those who finally get through get fantastic salaries. Like CA those who didn't become CA but do various things which are related they continue to have a good future. Likewise, those who pursue actuarial science studies continue to have a good career.

Thank you.

There is no entrance examination syllabus per se for Actuarial Science. Actuarial science is the study that applies Mathematical and Statistical methods to assess risk in professions like Finance, insurance, etc. And if you are planning to take admission in B.Sc Actuarial Science, the syllabus will  be based on Mathematics, Statistics, English, Data Interpretation, Logic. So you have to prepare for them.

It depends on the College/Institution that you want to take admission in. If you belong to General Category Institutions expect you to have a minimum aggregate of 50-60%. And if you belong to Reserved Categories, your aggregate should be between 40-50%. Now all Institutions do not conduct admissions based on Entrance Examination. There are few Institutions that conduct admissions based on merit scored in 12th. For those Institutions, you need to have greater percentage in your 12th, may be like 80-90%. But for Institutions which conduct admissions based on Entrance exam, the required aggregate might be 40-60% depending on your Category.
