Which course should I pursue in graduation from DU to make my career in actuarial science?

Hi, You should go with that course in which you have more interest. Actuarial Science is based on calculating probabilities of death, the longevity of pensioner, the chance of stock price going up or down, the probability of claim of motor insurance, etc. Everything we do in actuaries is based on probability theories. Bachelor in Statistics will provide you a very good understanding of probability. Other courses like Economics, Maths, Accounts won't do much harm either, but you will get a lot of understanding of what you study later in Actuarial from Statistics course.

I think Statistics (Hons) is the best course you can do in graduation which is best suited for actuarial studies. Actuarial Science is based on calculating probabilities of death, the longevity of pensioner, a chance of stock price going up or down, the probability of claim of motor insurance, etc. Everything we do in actuaries is based on probability theories. Bachelor in Statistics will provide you with a very good understanding of probability. Other courses like Economics, Maths and Accounts won't do much harm either but you will get a lot of understanding of what you study later in actuarial from a statistics course.
