Did Marks for phase 2 Unselected candidates for interview come?

Hi everyone!

I’m just starting my preparation for the next SEBI Grade-A (Legal) notification, and I’m looking for someone who’s at a similar stage, either just starting out or planning to start soon.

Studying alone at home can get really repetitive and mundane after a while, so I thought it might be nice to have a prep buddy to study alongside, share targets, check in on progress, and keep each other accountable.

Nothing too intense or competitive, just someone who can say “Did you finish today’s target?” when I inevitably want to procrastinate. 😭

If you’re also preparing specifically for the Legal post and are starting around now, feel free to DM me. We can figure out what works for both of us, whether that’s regular check-ins, sharing resources, or simply knowing that someone else is preparing alongside you.

Would be great to find someone in the same boat! :)

Will there be a SEBI exam this year?

2026 IIT Hyderabad grad, currently working in fintech. 6-day week, ~10 hrs/day, so I can only give 1–3 hrs on weekdays (more on Sundays) to prep.

Not fixed on clearing this exact cycle — fine starting now and targeting 2027 if that's smarter. I have PwD reservation but don't know how much it actually helps with the prep bar. Mainly want:

1. A realistic structure for ~2 hrs/day
2. Whether 2026 or 2027 makes more sense given my hours
3. Any 1:1 mentor/counsellor recommendations who's done this with limited time

Appreciate any leads.

Help!!🙏🙏

Looking for genuine advice on SEBI Grade A IT preparation at 28

I’m planning to seriously start preparing for SEBI Grade A (IT), but I’m honestly quite confused and would really appreciate advice from people who have already cleared it or are preparing for it.

I’ve completed 28, so the age limit is a major concern for me and I don’t have many attempts left. That’s also making me question whether I’m starting too late and whether it’s realistically possible to crack the exam from scratch while working a full-time job.

I have a technical background, but I haven’t prepared specifically for SEBI before. I’d like to know:

- Is it realistically possible to crack SEBI Grade A IT with limited attempts?

- What should my preparation strategy look like, especially if I can manage around 3–4 hours on weekdays and more on weekends?

- Which subjects/topics should I prioritise first?

- What are the best resources for Phase 1 and Phase 2 IT?

- Are there any good courses, classes, test series or mentorship programs that are actually worth paying for?

- If you have cleared the exam, what resources did you personally use?

- How important are previous-year questions and mocks?

- How should I balance preparation with a demanding full-time job without burning out?

- And honestly, how do you deal with the anxiety, self-doubt and emotional low phases that come with preparing for a competitive exam while also working?

I’m not looking for generic “just work hard” advice. I’d really appreciate practical guidance from people who have actually gone through this journey, especially working professionals who started preparation relatively late.

If you know of any good SEBI IT courses, teachers, study plans, mentorship groups or resources, please share them. Even a small piece of advice about what you wish you had known when you started would be really helpful.

I’m willing to put in the effort; I just want to make sure I’m putting it in the right direction. Thanks in advance.🙏🙏🙏

For those who appeared for interview for sebi grade A, have u got reimbursement for travel? I tried calling the office several times, but nobody is picking up.

Does anyone has any idea about this?

Appeared for it in previous cycle. Cleared Phase 1, but was under-prepped for phase 2 in certain aspects.

I’m looking for a study partner to restart prep with. Can keep each other accountable, track progress, discuss and assist wherever stuck.

planning to start with phase 2 subjects and reasoning, open to discuss and align as needed.
feel free to DM

Thanks.
