It has been a practice of the department since its inception to encourage and coach students to write actuarial papers conducted by the Institute of Actuaries of India (IAI) and the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), UK. During the pandemic, students had to adopt online learning. The pandemic resulted in Edutech organizations floating online courses that enabled students to access these courses from the comfort of their homes and on mobile phones. This opportunity was pursued, and thereafter, this became the second best practice and a part of the curriculum. The department made it mandatory for all the batches to register for a course in any data science tool such as Excel, VBA, R, Python, SQL, etc. The students are required to submit the course certificate upon completion.

The two best practices of the department are-

1. Students every year are encouraged and supported to write actuarial exams conducted by professional actuarial institutions.

2. Majority/all students have to mandatorily register and complete a technical course online from any online platform such as Coursera, Swayam, Udemy, Data camp etc.
