SEBI Grade A: 40 days, 11 subjects

About three days a subject. What not to study matters more than what to study.

← All articles

A SEBI Grade A notification usually leaves about 40 days for 11 subjects: GA, Quant, Reasoning, English, Commerce, Accountancy, Management, Finance, Costing, Companies Act and Economics. That is hardly three days a subject.

Many aspirants fail not for lack of material but because of too much of it. Read only what you can revise several times: each subject in 40 to 50 pages, so you can retain it and reproduce it.

Topics that appear twice in the syllabus

  • Foreign exchange and BoP: Commerce and Economics
  • Buy-back, bonus and rights shares: Commerce and Companies Act
  • Bonds and derivatives: Commerce and Finance
  • Monetary and fiscal policy: Finance and Economics

Revise these more than once. And accept the limits of your brain: you won’t retain what you haven’t read five to seven times.
