thanking you.

I think that you have hit upon a really good idea. Hopefully, you have obtained more than 85% in subjects like Maths and Statistics because only then will you be eligible to pursue Actuarial Science after +2. That being the case, you can visit the site of the Institute of Actuaries of India http://www.actuariesindia.org/ for the details, be it about admission, examinations, syllabus,et al.

Some Distance Education Institutes like Alagappa University, Amity School of Insurance and Actuarial Science (ASIAS) and Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies also offer courses in Actuarial Science.
