The application submission link will remain open until June 30.

Sebi aims to fill 34 positions in the General stream, 10 in Information Technology, two in the Legal team, and one each in Electrical Engineering, Research, and Official Language departments. The selection process will occur in three phases starting from July 27.

Established by the government in 1988, Sebi was granted statutory powers after the enactment of the Sebi Act in 1992, following the Harshad Mehta scam that impacted the Indian markets. According to its preamble, Sebi is entrusted with safeguarding the interests of securities investors and regulating the securities markets.

Additionally, Sebi is mandated to prevent fraudulent and unfair trade practices, insider trading, and other manipulative activities.
