Getting into Actuarial Sciences itself is not less than a 'Jihad'...
There was an advertisement in Dawn Advertiser last Sunday by Statelife regarding Actuarial Sciences trainees... The requirement for Intermediate students mentioned was 75% in Intermediate Pre-Engineering and 80% in Mathematics.
Your uncle might have meant that it would be better if one gets marks as mentioned by him...
If you ask for my suggestion, I say you go on with CA as you've now started it... You could've opted for BSc. in Actuarial Sciences which currently Karachi University offers, however, I'm not familiar with their requirements... They must be more or less same like StateLife's trainee requirements... It is a four year programme... But I don't think you can cope up with CA and Actuarial Sciences both at the same time... You will have to do your CA articles as well... So you have to make a choice...
You can continue with your CA, while at the same time appear for the BSc. in Actuarial Sciences pre- entry test... If you clear it, then you have a choice of doing Actuarial Sciences and your 'opportunity cost' will be CA...
You see, either way, you're going to be tied up for 6-8 years or even more (CA and Actuary)... And if at a point you decide to change your field and do something else instead, you might not have the option of doing so...
So take all the factors into account... Go through your family commitments, financial liabilities and your age as well... Contrary to what some people say, 'age factor' counts a lot.
