A degree in accountancy and business law provides general and reasonably good background for entry-level, general insurance jobs. However, there is no specific qualification for this job in India
Large insurance companies prefer college graduates, with a background in or deep knowledge of insurance, or holding a degree in pharmacy or medicine.
According to a chief underwriter, if a person wants to work as an underwriter in the field of life insurance, he or she should have a thorough knowledge of the human anatomy. In fact, in life insurance, even a nursing graduate with a thorough understanding of anatomical details can become an underwriter.
