Engineer to SEBI Grade A Officer Journey
After college, Roshan worked in a company for a little while, but his heart was not in it. He wanted to do something in economics and finance. But there was a big problem. He was an engineer. Subjects like Commerce, Accountancy, and Finance were completely new and scary for him.
“I was interested in finance, but as an engineer, I had no background in it. My friends told me about exams like RBI and SEBI, and that’s when I started thinking about it.”
He was feeling a little lost. But then, something changed in his heart.
Preparing for SEBI Grade A Without Commerce Background
Roshan understood that being scared would not help. He made one simple decision: “I will not run around for too many books or videos. I will choose one good guide and trust it completely.”
He chose EduTap as his guide. He told himself that he would follow every video, every note, and every test from just this one place. This simple choice removed all his confusion. Suddenly, the big mountain of syllabus looked like small steps he could climb one by one.
With this new, calm mind, he started to make a plan. Let’s see how he did it.

SEBI Grade A Phase 1 Strategy for Engineers
For Phase 1, Roshan knew he didn’t need to be a topper. He just needed to clear the cut-off. His subjects like Maths, Reasoning, and English were already strong because he was an engineer. So, he did not waste much time on them.
For Paper 2, which had all the scary commerce subjects, he did something very smart. He decided:
- I will focus on subjects that are easier for me to understand first, like Economics and Management.
- I will leave the very difficult parts of Commerce and Accountancy for later.
- My only aim is to get enough marks to get into Phase 2.
This helped him stay calm and focused. He was not trying to become an expert in one day. He was just trying to win the first small battle.
Once he was sure about Phase 1, he turned his full attention to the next big step.
SEBI Grade A Phase 2 Preparation for Commerce Subjects
Now, for Phase 2, he knew he had to face Commerce and Accountancy. But he was not scared anymore. He had more time and a clear mind. He watched the EduTap lecture videos for every subject. He focused on understanding the main idea, not on memorizing every single line.
“For subjects like Economics, I would watch the videos first to understand the story, and then read the notes. It made learning much easier for me.”
He used mock tests a lot. After every test, he would check what he did wrong and learn from it. The tests were not for marks; they were his teachers. This way, he slowly covered all the topics he had once been so afraid of.
And what about the English paper that many students worry about?

Descriptive English Strategy for SEBI Grade A
Roshan did not join any special classes for English. He just had a simple habit from his college days: reading the newspaper. This simple habit helped him understand how to write good sentences. For the exam, he just watched a few videos on how to write essays and letters in the right format.
Now that he had cleared the written exams, one final door was waiting for him.
SEBI Grade A Interview Strategy
Roshan was only 21. He knew the interviewers would ask him, “You are so young, why SEBI?” or “You are an engineer, what will you do here?” He prepared answers for these questions from his heart. He did not try to pretend. He was honest.
He also learned a very smart trick from a video by Anchit Sir at EduTap. The trick was to answer questions in a way that makes the interviewer ask the next question from a topic you know well!
“I was ready for them to ask about my age. But I wanted them to ask me about Finance and Economics. I used a simple trick to guide the conversation, and it worked! They started asking me things I was very comfortable with.”
He went in with confidence, not because he knew everything, but because he was ready to be himself.
But nobody makes it alone, right? Let’s see who was standing with Roshan.
The Secret Support System: Who Helped Roshan on His Journey?
Roshan’s journey was his own, but he was not alone. First, his friends told him about these exams and gave him the first push. Sometimes, a little guidance from a friend is all we need, isn’t it?
Second, he put his complete trust in his teachers at EduTap. He treated the course not just as study material, but as a complete guide. By trusting one source, he saved himself from confusion and doubt. This trust gave him peace of mind, which is very important during preparation.
“I fully trusted the Edutap course. I watched the videos, read the notes, and took the mock tests. I did not go anywhere else. That saved me a lot of time and worry.”
Now that he has made it, Roshan has some simple words for you.

What You Can Do Right Now: Your Action Plan
If Roshan was sitting with you right now, this is what he would say.
- Don’t Panic About Your Background: It doesn’t matter if you are an engineer, a doctor, or from an arts background. If you have a plan, you can learn anything.
- Trust One Teacher: Choose one good source for your studies and stick to it. Don’t run everywhere. It will only confuse you.
- Make a Simple, Smart Plan: You don’t need a very complicated timetable. Just know what your goal is for each day and each week.
- Focus on Understanding: Don’t just try to memorize things. Try to understand the story behind each topic. It makes learning fun and easy.
“You don’t have to be an expert in every subject. You just need to understand the main ideas. The questions are not super tricky, so stay calm and believe in your plan.”
Roshan’s story teaches us that success is not about being a superhero. It’s about taking small, honest steps every single day. It’s about being brave enough to start, even when you are scared. It’s about being smart with your plan and trusting your guide.
You are not alone in your worries. Every single person who clears an exam feels the same fear and confusion that you might be feeling today. But like Roshan, you can choose to be calm, make a simple plan, and just start.
Your dream is waiting for you. Take a deep breath, make a small plan for tomorrow, and just begin. We at EduTap are always here to walk with you, just like we walked with Roshan.
