I think Karachi University runs an undergraduate programme in actuarial science - I don't know the entrance requirements but I'm sure you can get that information yourself. As per my information, currently it is not possible to earn any exemption from KU degree but this programme should give you a flavour and basic understanding of actuarial subjects. This may help you passing the actuarial exams quickly.
Besides KU, you may want to study a couple of actuarial exams on self-study basis and then apply to a number of actuarial employers in your city - most of these are based in Karachi. An alternative would be to go abroad and do a ug course in actuarial course and try your luck in that country or come back to pakistan once you have graduated. This route would be a lot expensive.
There is always been an issue with the demand for actuarial students. I work for a leading firm of actuarial and investment consultants and this firm only took 5 students in my in-take year. It is partially this reason why the actuarial profession is so small and commands a reputation and high salaries.
