As per the last cycle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/sebi-grade-a-exam-info\/?ref=contss-sebi-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">notification PDF<\/a> Phase 1 is an online screening test with two papers Paper 1 covers General Awareness, English, Quantitative Ability, and Reasoning, while Paper 2 is based on your chosen stream. Candidates must meet the minimum qualifying marks in each paper, and there is negative marking for wrong answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phase 2 is an online exam where Paper 1 tests descriptive English, and Paper 2 focuses on stream-specific subjects in objective or descriptive format. The marks obtained in Phase 2 are very important for the final selection. The final stage is the interview, which can be given in Hindi or English. The final merit list is prepared based on Phase 2 scores and interview performance, and candidates from certain streams may also receive extra marks for relevant work experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Phase<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Details<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Key Points<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Phase I Online Screening<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Paper 1:<\/strong>&nbsp;General Awareness, English, Quant, Reasoning (100 marks, 60 min)&nbsp;<br><strong>Paper 2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Stream-specific subjects (100 marks, 40 min)<\/td><td>Cut-off: 30% (P1), 40% (P2)&nbsp;<br>Aggregate: 40%&nbsp;<br>Negative marking: \u00bc per wrong answer&nbsp;<em>Qualifying only<\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Phase II Online Exam<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Paper 1:<\/strong>&nbsp;Descriptive English (Essay, Precis, Comprehension) &#8211; 100 marks, 60 min&nbsp;<br><strong>Paper 2:<\/strong>&nbsp;Stream-specific (MCQs\/Descriptive\/Coding) &#8211; 100 marks<\/td><td>Cut-off: 30% (P1), 40% (P2)&nbsp;<br>Aggregate: 50%&nbsp;<br>Negative marking: \u00bc (MCQs)&nbsp;<br>Weightage: Paper 1 \u2013 1\/3, Paper 2 \u2013 2\/3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Phase III Interview<\/strong><\/td><td>Conducted in Hindi or English<\/td><td>Weightage: Phase II &#8211; 85%, <br>Interview &#8211; 15%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Additional (Legal &amp; Engg. \u2013 Electrical)<\/strong><\/td><td>Experience-based marks<\/td><td>Up to 3.75 marks for relevant post-qualification experience<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/sebi-grade-a-mock-test\/?ref=contss-sebi-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attempt Free SEBI Grade A Mock Test <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEBI_Grade_A_Exam_Date_Overview\"><\/span>SEBI Grade A Exam Date Overview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SEBI Grade A Phase\u202f1 and Phase\u202f2 exams are expected to be released soon, and the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/sebi-grade-a-admit-card\/?ref=examinfo-sebi-grade-a-exam-date\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admit cards<\/a>&nbsp;are likely to be released 10 to 15 days before the exam.
