There is no need of coaching believe me, if you are a bit good in maths and have average reading skills you can easily crack the exam.
All you need is few books and regular tests.
There is no such specific book. There are multiple book each for each parts, and some multiple.
So, sections of exam are:
Gk and CA
English
Reasoning
Aptitude
Books recommended for each section are :-
1. Gk and CA : Ncert - 8th to 12th social science ( History, political science, Geography, Economics), and Science (physics , chem , Biology (imp))
As most of it will be covered by this, now what you require after all this is filling gaps for that you will require :
YEARBOOK 2016 ( of any publication , I recommend Disha, recently they released 1st edition of their yearbook, I saw the book it has good compilation), or Lucent GK as everyone recommends.

UK Actuaries is governed by Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFOA). Whereas Indian Actuaries is governed by Institute of Actuaries of India (IAI).

Any IFOA candidate can claim exemption of any of the 15 subjects from IAI if he has cleared it from IFOA on payment of an exemption fees. In retrospect, an IAI candidate can also claim exemption from IFOA for any of the 15 subjects. It simply means that a candidate needs to clear a subject from one Insitute only.
Eligibility
IAI - Any person who has passed 12th can register for an ACET. Only after passing ACET can a person be eligible to take membership of IAI. ACET (entrance exam) is an online objective paper conducted twice a year (June/Dec) based on 12th Maths & Statistics.
IFOA - There are two criteria here
Direct Membership - If the candidate has 80% in 12th Maths (or) 55% in Graduation Maths (or) 55% in MBA Finance he can directly register for membership and then appear for CT exams.
Non-Membership - If the candidate doesn't fulfil any of the above requirements he has to first sit for CT-1 ( Financial Mathematics) and can register for membership only after clearing this exam.
Fees
IAI - Fees consist of -
One-time Fees for registering into ACET - Rs. 3000
One-time Fees for Admission into the Actuarial course - Rs. 1500
Per subject, fees Varies between 2000 & 4000 (This fee excludes the cost of Study Material I.e. Rs. 2500 which is compulsory to purchase)
Annual Membership Subscription Fees - Rs. 750
IFOA You can find the fees structure of IFOA from this link. The fees are approximately 2.5 times of that of IAI.
Exams & Passing Percentage
Both IAI & IFOA has the same syllabus. In fact, IAI distributes the same study material issued by the IFOA. So anyone preparing for IAI exams can appear for IFOA and vice-a-versa. So, if you wish, you can sit for both the exams, it would simply enhance your chances of clearing it.
IAI - Syllabus
IFOA - Syllabus
Regarding Passing percentage, it's a common trend that the CT level papers of IAI are tough as compared to that of IFOA. And the CA, ST & SA level papers of IFOA are tough as compared to IAI. So, it would be wise enough to register for IFOA first then switch to IAI in the later stage.

There is no one "best" university for an MBA as different universities have different strengths, curriculum, faculty, and resources. It's essential to research and compare various universities to find the one that suits your needs and goals the most. When choosing a university for your MBA, you should consider factors like the reputation of the institution, the quality of the faculty, the curriculum, the availability of resources like internships, and the overall cost of the programme. You can also look for accreditation from recognised bodies like AACSB, AMBA, or EQUIS. As for pursuing B.Com through distance education, make sure to choose a reputable university that offers a high-quality programme that is recognised in the industry. You should also make sure that the programme is accredited by the relevant governing bodies.
