National Insurance Academy- NIA Balewadi Pune Answered Questions

Its a good achievement to be an associate from III and it shows your interest in insurance and the related industry. It doesn't matter much if you are not good in maths as there are only a few subjects (2-3) requiring basic maths skill which would also be taught by the faculty here. You should concentrate on getting a good score in CAT/CMAT and prepare for the GD/PI. Best of luck for your exams.
