Indian students pay USD 1,378 (INR 1.3 Lakhs) per semester for healthcare plans at Northern Illinois Uni. The plan is given via UHCSR and provides cover for medicines, emergency services, and mental health services. Students can waive this if they have healthcare of their own.

Harvard is known to provide the 100% of demonstrated financial need for all Indian students.

Both fields are kind of different. They serve different purposes. You can choose on the basis of your long-term career goals. 

CFA is all about finance, investment & portfolio. It requires 3 years to cover and is good for you if you are seeking globally recognised credentials. It leads to quicker salary progressions for young people.

Actuarial Science revolves mainly around math-heavy concepts, stats, risk modeling, mainly meant for people working in insurance/consulting. It takes around 10 - 15 years of exp. to become proficient in this field.

Yes, You can get a job abroad after completing finance-related courses but the salary and position will depend on the course that you have studied like after globally recognised qualifications such as CFA, ACCA, CPA and MBA you can get jobs in multinational companies (MNCs) easily but after doing Diploma in finance, you can get jobs with less salary.

Hope this helps!

There are many. It depends on you that which course do you want to pursue. Some of the important ones comprise CA, CWA, and CS and there are many short-term Diploma for accounting and finance.

For banking, start preparing for banking exams so that you can give exams after completing your graduation.

Hope this helps!
