What SEBI does
The Securities and Exchange Board of India regulates the securities market. Its Legal Department internship lets selected law students see how securities laws, regulations and related work are handled inside the regulator.
This is the monthly Legal Department internship under the SEBI guidelines. Applications for December 2026 open only from the 1st to the 7th of November.
What kind of role this is
This is a full-time, in-person internship at the Mumbai Head Office. Duration is at least four weeks, starting on the first working day of December 2026. It is not a job and does not guarantee employment. A certificate is issued only after successful and satisfactory completion. A stipend of ₹10,000 may be considered if the Division Chief recommends it and the other conditions in the guidelines are met.
