Proof for Fermat's last theorem was presented in year '96 by British mathematician, it is said to be "a very long proof and involves latest advances in mathematics", can anyone please suggest what mathematical branches are required for understanding the proof ?

There are many accessible sources that talk about the history of the problem: A superb popular book (Fermat’s Enigma, Singh), an elementary number theoretic book (Fermat’s Last Theorem for Amateurs, Ribenboim), a BBC documentary (Fermat’s Last Theorem), and even several youtube numberphile videos that could guide you in the right direction.
As far as the actual math used by Wiles, most of these sources echo the same general sentiment: you might spend your time more wisely obtaining a PhD.
