To meet the huge demand for specialised actuaries courses India may see in the near future, the central government is in talks with UK-based global actuarial professional body, Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), to introduce specialised actuarial course at the state-owned National Insurance Academy (NIA) in Pune from the upcoming academic session. It has been predicted that India will see a huge demand for specialised actuaries courses due to the hike in FDI to 49% from 26% in the insurance sector of the country.
