Who Can Apply? – Quick Eligibility Check
Age, degree and citizenship are the three filters SEBI checks first. You must be a citizen of India, Nepal, Bhutan or an Indian-origin migrant who has settled permanently here. Age is counted on 31-10-2025:
General category should not have been born before 01-11-1993 and not after 31-10-2005. That means 21 to 30 years is the safe zone; OBC, EWS, PwBD and Ex-servicemen get the usual extra years. Keep your graduation certificate ready because the board will not wait if you are still “awaiting results”.
Educational Qualification Table – Stream-wise Break-up
Here is a crisp table so you can match your discipline in seconds.
| Stream | Minimum Degree | % of Marks | Preferred Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | Any Graduate + MBA/PGDM/CA/CMA/CS | 55% | 2 yrs work exp |
| Legal | 5 yr LLB / 3 yr LLB + LLM | 50% | Enrolment cert |
| Information Technology | B.E./B.Tech in CS/IT/ECE or MCA | 60% | CCNA, RHCE nice |

Application Fee & How to Pay It
Fee, mode and deadline decide whether your form reaches the server or dies in cyberspace. General, EWS and OBC boys pay ₹1,000; SC, ST, PwBD and all girls pay zero rupees. You can use debit card, credit card, UPI, net banking or SBI collect. The gateway closes at 11:50 pm on 2 December 2025; if the bank page crashes, SEBI will not give a second chance. Print the fee receipt the same night because the server dumps history after seven days.
