Dear Aspirant!

The ACET( Actuarial Common Entrance Test) is a entrance exam for the students actuaries. A CET is an exam in India for those who are interested in becoming a actuaries. Actuaries analyse financial risks using mathematics and statistics.  ACET test your knowledge in the subject like mathematics, statistics and the data interpretation. Passing a CET is a step to words become a certified actuary.

It's a good idea to start preparing yourself now.

I'd like to make a few suggestions.

Because actuarial science is all about math and statistics, you should study math thoroughly.

Keep statistics and probability out of your way. Don't think that they are easy chapters so why bother with them, instead study them thoroughly and practise as much as you can keep doing research about the course, learn about the subjects you have to study there keep your mind clear about it and dont doubt it for a second because it is one of the best profession and if you are good at maths and have an interest in it then you are doing the right thing know the ways through which you can pursue it and find the ideal way for you to be successful

Best wishes!

Hello aspirant, if you meant the codes were engineering colleges of aditya group in Andhra pradesh, I prefer AEC as it is autonomous college and it has higher standards than all the other colleges, the order is ACET and finally ACOE. The infrastcture is same for all these colleges, but the faculty change for the 3 colleges, you must always opt for the best one -AEC.
