SEBI legal internship 2026 — 1

SEBI legal internship 2026 follows the standing Legal Department guidelines. The next form window is 1 to 7 October 2026 for a November internship. Apply only on sebi.gov.in legal internship portal. Guidelines PDF — GUIDELINES_FOR_LEGAL_INTERNSHIP.pdf.

First, what SEBI actually does

The Securities and Exchange Board of India regulates the securities market — stock exchanges, mutual funds, listed companies. A legal intern sits with the Legal Department and reads securities-law files. This is not SEBI Grade A recruitment. It is also not the separate SEBI Young Professional Program, whose 2026 domain results were already published through June 2026.

What kind of internship this is

On-site legal intern. Tenure printed: not less than four weeks, starting on the first working day of the month. Office hours printed: 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM on working days, and other days if required. Head Office in Mumbai runs through the year. Regional offices open only in the months printed below. A stipend of ₹10,000 may be paid after the certificate is issued — the word on the PDF is “may”, not a guaranteed monthly salary.

Who should apply — and who should skip

Apply if all of these printed lines are true on the date of the form:

You study at a law school / university recognised by the Bar Council of India and the UGC.
You are in the 4th or final year of a five-year law programme, or the 2nd or final year of a three-year law programme.
You have at least 60% aggregate marks or equivalent CGPA in previous semester results. Only the percentage equivalent certified by the institution on the cover letter is used.
You are below 28 years.
You can upload a signed, stamped cover letter on the college letterhead in the Annexure I format. No cover letter in that format = the application is not considered.

Skip if you have already appeared in the final semester exam (that line bars you), you need a remote intern, you want Delhi / Kolkata / Ahmedabad / Chennai in a month those offices are shut, or a coaching site is selling a “SEBI legal intern slot”.
