Hi everyone,

I'm building a product specifically for aspirants preparing for regulatory body exams, starting with SEBI Grade A and later expanding to RBI, NABARD, SIDBI, IFSCA, etc.

I already have a few feature ideas, but I don't want to build based on assumptions.

What's the single biggest headache or pain point you faced during your preparation that still doesn't have a good solution?

Not coaching quality, but something you genuinely wished existed and would've happily paid for if it saved time, reduced stress, or improved your chances.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Every response will help shape the product.

This post is for future SEBI Grade A aspirants.

I know most of you have questions regarding sources, mock tests, and preparation strategy, so I thought I'd share what worked for me.

A little about my background

- I had previously prepared for RBI, so around 70% of Finance & Management was already covered.

- Economics for SEBI is quite different, so I had only about 10% overlap there.

- I'm from a non-commerce background and had zero knowledge of the other subjects.

I started preparing on 20 November 2025, and Phase 1 was on 10 January 2026. I cleared the exam in my first attempt.

Sources I used

- EduTap Silver Course

- PM Mock Tests

What I think is required to clear this exam

1. There is no perfect course.

No single coaching course will help you solve every Phase 2 question. Pick one course, trust it, and complete it thoroughly. Strong conceptual understanding is much more important than collecting multiple resources.

2. Don't ignore SEBI circulars.

Questions can directly or indirectly come from them, so make them a part of your preparation.

3. Mock tests are where real learning happens.

Once you finish the syllabus, start giving mocks. After every mock, note down every new concept or fact you learn in a crisp notebook. SEBI has a very wide syllabus, and questions can come from almost anywhere.

4. Use PYQs smartly.

Whenever you come across a new topic in a previous year question, don't just read that answer. Explore the surrounding topics as well. For example, if a question asks about one subtype of a concept, spend a few minutes reading the other subtypes too.

5. Watch revision marathons near the exam.

Once your syllabus is complete, marathon sessions help revise quickly, improve recall, and expand your coverage.

6. Don't try to mug up everything at the last moment.

You'll only exhaust yourself. Focus on revision and consistency instead.

Finally, two lines that helped me stay balanced during preparation:

Whenever you feel "Nahi hoga yaar", remember:

SEBI bahut kuch hai, par sab kuch nahi hai

Whenever you feel "Selection ho bhi gaya toh kya hi ho jayega?", remember:

SEBI sab kuch nahi hai, par bahut kuch hai.

All the best to everyone preparing. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask questions in the comments. I'll answer whenever I can.

Are we expecting notifications for sebi 2026-2027 this year ?

Also what all regulatory exams will have their notifications published in late 2026 for 2026 - 2027

If there is any wp or telegram groups for selected candidates in SEBI grade A, then please post the link here , so that the candidates could join those and get all the updates regarding the joining process and other information.

If there is none , then let's create one.....

Hey im currently preparing full-time for regulatory body examinations and have narrowly missed clearing them twice, so I'm giving it another serious attempt.

I'm looking for a **female accountability partner** who's committed to studying consistently (around 6–7 focused hours a day) and would be open to connecting through Google Meet or Zoom for live study sessions. The person need not be preparing for same exams or subjects but the goal is just to have someone equally serious about their goals so we can stay accountable, motivated, and push each other as preparing full-time can get a bit isolating and stagnant.

If you're genuinely committed and think this setup would work for you, please do connect.

I have been trying to connect to SEBI Chennai office, but no one is picking the call. Any idea about how to book an appointment with a medical officer?

Hi everyone,

I’m happy to share that I have recently been selected for the SEBI Grade A (Legal) position. As I prepare to begin my training next month, I want to take this opportunity to give back to the community that supported me during my own preparation journey.

Why this role matters:

Being a Legal Officer at SEBI is a powerful career move if you want to be where the action is. You’re not just analyzing law; you’re directly shaping how India’s markets function and holding major players accountable. It’s a rare mix of corporate law and investigative work that offers immense professional influence, job security, and the chance to protect everyday investors on a national scale.

My Journey:

My path has been a blend of various roles in the legal field:

2021: Registered with the Bar Council.

Judiciary Prep: After dedicating a year to the judiciary, I missed the DJS cutoff by just three marks. Beyond that, I have appeared for over 10 Mains examinations across various states. This rigorous journey has given me a deep, practical grasp of the law and the perspective needed to effectively guide and mentor students through their own preparations.

Supreme Court Clerkship: Served as a Law Clerk-cum-Research Associate at the Supreme Court of India.

Litigation: Practiced in the Supreme Court and the Delhi High Court while working in an AOR office, simultaneously preparing for the SEBI exam (taking only 20 days of leave for my final exams).

I understand the struggle of balancing a demanding legal career with the intensity of competitive exams. I have successfully navigated the Supreme Court Clerkship exams, Judicial Services (Prelims and Mains), and now the SEBI Grade A process.

The Plan:

I believe that in the age of AI, everyone has access to information, what you truly need is the right guidance and support.

I am planning to host a free, open-access interactive session to share my exact strategy and resources. If you are actively preparing for the Judiciary, APP exams, Supreme Court Clerkship, or are looking to pivot your career toward SEBI, this session is for you.

Note on Cost: This session and the interaction video are completely free of cost. I want to help as many serious aspirants as possible. If, after attending, you find the session helpful and feel you need more structured assistance, I am open to curating a personalized course that provides tailored guidance and individual feedback to help you achieve your goals.

How to join:

If you are interested in joining this interaction, please comment below:

"I am willing to join this interaction"
Once we have at least 30 interested aspirants, I will share the link to a dedicated group where we can coordinate the session.

Communication:

If you have any queries, feel free to reach out via:

WhatsApp: 8376973006 (Text only, please do not call)

Telegram: @Pratiush3007 (Text only)

I will respond to your messages as soon as I can. I look forward to helping you navigate your own journey to success.

Regards
Pratiush Vishwanath

It's a promise I would clear it next time, with 2 streams general and IT, but to wait till the day of notification is so difficult

Just wanted to share this, any thoughts?

And I made it (IT Stream)

This is a query regarding joining.

As it is mentioned that we need to join on 24th July, 2026. But for those who are already working, how to deal with the notice period? Are you getting a waiver or can the joining dates be extended?

I am new to this transition. Would really appreciate any guidance on how to proceed.

How to approach SEBI Medical officer in the given regional offices.. I Tried calling the number given for chennai office, but they are not picking the call.. can anyone give info ?

1. Acceptance of offer date: On or before July 02, 2026 (Send scanned copy by return email)

Are they asking to send a scanned copy of the offer letter that they are sending by post?

2. By when do medical tests and visits to the regional/HQ of SEBI have to be done?

It is really getting on my nerves now. Anxiety levels are at an all time high. Atp i have stopped caring if I would get in or not. Just want this misery to end

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on reddit. Today final results are out and congratulations 🎉👏 to everyone who have cleared.

DISCLAIMER, sorry for the long post. I'll just use this as to release my burden from my heart.

Sebi grade A exam has been my priority for the past 5 years. In 2022 and 2023 I couldn't clear prelims,I was new to govt exams and was scared of maths so I always prioritised other 3 sections in paper 1 and only focussed my preparation for paper 2. And I cleared paper 2 cut off easily and couldn't clear paper 1 and over all cut off by close margins like 3/4 marks.

Then in 2023 I joined the corporate and got comfortable with the job even though I was not happy with the job due to various office politics.I started loving being financially independent. I cried and used to have panic attacks regularly due to my job because I was not interested and passionate about the corporate and did not like anything apart from money it gave me. It was not much money but I could live comfortably as I dont have any responsibilities. In all these, I couldn't manage time to prepare for any exam. I used to try but as mine was night shift my sleep cycle and health got messed up. I used to constantly ask for day shift to my manager but they used to stall and ask me for a few months of patience for any new day shift opportunity. I adjusted and revoked my resignation 2 times.

And then in 2024 notification came and my hope once again for sebi. Fortunately the exam got postponed from April to June. Despite all the office stress I studied a lot in the cab and cafeteria. I used to come home at 4 am and I used to study at least for one hour and sleep less hours then wake up and study for 3 months i did this. And it helped me for paper 2 but it's my fault again, I made the same mistake I focused thoroughly and studied the 6 subjects of paper 2 and ignored maths. But there is no end to my bad luck I cleared both paper 1 and 2 and overall cut off I couldn't. I got 78. I was shattered and these all happened between the worst office politics I have been subjected to.

I have been depressed since then, I knew I have the potential to clear the exam and I thought my job was my biggest hurdle. Finally in June 2025 I took the biggest risk of my life I resigned and prepared for PFRDA I cleared prelims and failed mains cut off by 4 marks. I started regretting my decision of resignation. Then, sebi notification came and I was very happy. I thought now no job I can fully focus and try hard for this exam and this time I already started studying for maths for rbi exam though I am not that good but I improved a bit. And I gave my everything and cleared phase 1 in fact I knew as soon as exam was done I would clear it. And we had 40 days for phase 2, but my mind became my enemy i wasted 10 days due to regret of resignation as my savings have been reduced and no money and January was a month where I would get bonus every year and now being unemployed made me anxious and I was constantly overthinking about my job like why did I resign and I was blaming myself. Then after wasting 10 days, I started my preparation for phase 2 and studied studied studied and only studied for at least 10 hours a day. In all these my family was very supportive and they were as serious as I was for my exam, they didn't let me do a single house work and were constantly motivating me.

And then came Feb 21, I was not that confident as I felt how much ever I studied nothing stayed in my mind nd I couldn't remember anything. I am basically a very pessimist person. Then the exam paper 1 went well I couldn't complete 2 questions of reading comprehension. I got sad but I didn't carry my feelings and collected my thoughts and stayed alert for paper 2 and as soon as the exam started as I read the questions one by one I understood that toughness level is extremely high i have to answer it strategically and I didn't panic or give up. I attempted 77, I couldn't't understand many questions I went blank and still I didn't give up. I tried my best to do how much ever I can. I knew passing this would be a miracle only because there was no way we could get the answers and I can assess my score so I just was confused after the exam. I was not sad or anything. I did not understand what to expect will i pass or not. For a week atleast I didn't do anything. Then I started having tiny hope that maybe I can clear it because I didn't unnecessarily take risk for the questions I didn't know but ofcourse I failed. It was my first Mains of Sebi which i consider as my top 1 exam in my life. I didn't cry after the results maybe deep down I knew I would fail. I didn't let any emotion take over me after phase 2 result. I ignored everything.

But today as soon as the result came i started having panic attacks and I have been constantly crying I tried to distract myself a lot to watch Netflix or YouTube bt even though the videos were playing my tears wouldn't stop. I am unable to distract myself. I am regretting everything i should have put more effort , why did i waste my 10 days overthinking abt the past. The risk I took didn't became fruitful now i have gap year in my resume and no money. If only I studied properly i would've done something atleast. All the ifs and buts are killing me.

I want to just restart my preparation again as I am very much interested only fro this exam and I find all the subjects intersting and I am passionate abt this a lot. But my age is 29 and it'll take 2 years fr new notification. There is constant marriage pressure on my head. I need a job asap and with marriage I feel I will not have that much freedom to write the exam or anything. I feel my life is wasted. I want to just kill myself. But deep inside I feel I still can clear this exam and my family are again being very supportive they are saying it's ok if I am confident then I should restart my preparation and next time definitely I will be able to clear.

Please advise should I continue my SSC CGL preparation or go for corporate and prepare for sebi along with job. The next notification may be in 2028 as I am not from UR so I can still write the exam so what should I do.

Please ignore if there are any typos or errors. There ends my rant.

When can we expect the results scored in phase 2 SEBI exam. I want to know where i am lacking so that maybe for next schedule i can improve

F30. Will turn 31 in july. I have given upsc multiple times but couldn't qualify. Failed this year's pre. I have also written multiple regulatory exams' mains(Like nabard,pfrda,sebi,etc). Recently appeared for sebi interview but couldn't convert it into final selection. Now i want to quit this journey altogether but i don't know how to move forward.

I have done graduation in btech computer science.

The three options I'm considering right now are

1. Public policy

2. Ai and Machine learning (course followed by job hunting but courses are damn expensive)

3. Net jrf(Btech are eligible)

4.CAT

Please help a girl out. If you have any experience or know someone who quit this journey empty handed and performed well in other fields.
