If you are a graduate then please look for doing a MBA in Insurance/Marketing/Finance if you want to make a career in Insurance. You can also go for certifications from IRDA and make advancement in your career if you dont want to go for MBA. You can get more information on the different courses of IRDA from the site http://www.insuranceinstituteofindia.com/exam/IRDAinfo.htm.

hello friend,according to my openion it is very eassy to make a career in insurance sector.

As u are working 4 last 7 years so u have a lot of experience in this field.

if u have done graduation then go for MBA in insurance.

it will help u to make ue carrier,

all the best.

Better go for an MBA.

And since you are a working executive even a distance MBA is also good for you.

Or you can also go for E-MBA, which is specially meant for working executives. And you can specialise in Insurance or Finance for better career prospect.


MBA (Coresspondance) + 7 years of experiance is far better then Regular MBA from a Good institute.

Dont think just go for it.

Hello friend,
Insurance sector is one of the most rewarding corporate sector. You have been a part of this indusry since five years but have not been able to establish yourself well enough in this industry. You have not mentioned about the department you work in, I mean i dont know whether you are in the sales department or back office. An indivudual with an experience of five years in sales should be nothing less then business development manager or relationship manager.But if for any reason you have not been able to reach there then I would suggest you to go for any of the following courses to enhance your skills and to add value to your resume.

PG Diploma in management of Insurance and financial services
Eligibility: Graduation
Master's program in Insurance Business,
Eligibility: Graduation.
Foundation in Financial Planning,
Eligibility: Graduation.
These courses will definitely give boost to your career but one thing you must know that to rise in corporate sector you will always need to perform, and if you fail to perform, just a degree or certificate will not take you far enough.

Dear you can do M.B.A in finance or marketing to go in insurance line if not you can be a rural agent after your 10th and you can be a urban agent after your +2.

Hi Sir
I am Just Graduate In Arts, if it possible to manage MBA degree with BA.
And would i be able to continue my job

Hi All, Me Sylvia a new member of this community from India and working with Mobile Development. Regarding to the question of thread starter i want to say that Insurance is a step taken as a precaution to save oneself from the future losses, as it is said; no body knows what next is waiting for us. These insurance facilities are provided not only to individuals, bout to business organizations as well, to safeguard a secure future for the company as well as the employees. The insurance is given to the organizations or people on the basis their type and need. Different types of insurance are:

1.) Life insurance.
2.) Health Care insurance.
3.) Home Insurance.
4.) Automobile Insurance.
5.) Travel Insurance.
6.) Accident insurance.
7.) Fire insurance.

A job aspirant can get easy entry in this field as this is the most expanding sector, with an increasing need of employees. The people working in the insurance sector are generally called insurance agents, and students aiming to work in this field must possess the following qualities:
