Actuarial science: It consists of 15 papers and most of them have universal applicability. The difficulty level of actuarial science can probably be known from the fact that number of actuaries in India is just around 200. The main subjects included are mathematics and statistics. CA: It has four groups and four paper for each group. Three years long articleship after 2 groups. First two groups are considered easy, while the 3rd and 4th one can pose some challenge. The groups can be given at 6 months gap. After articleship, you get time to prepare for 3rd and 4th group.
