SEBI amends officer recruitment rules to standardize graduation (60% minimum), CGPA conversion, and foreign degree equivalence.
SEBI Revises Educational Qualifications for Officer Recruitment
SEBI issued its Second Amendment Regulations, 2026, revising educational criteria for officer recruitment. The changes standardize eligibility by requiring a minimum of 60% aggregate marks in graduation, with a defined formula for CGPA conversion and recognition of foreign degrees as equivalent to Indian qualifications.
The amendment aims to ensure uniform standards across applicants and improve transparency in the hiring process. It applies to posts under direct recruitment and lateral entry schemes.
Aspirants and HR professionals in financial institutions must refer to SEBI’s updated notification for degree recognition and cutoff criteria. The changes reflect broader public sector recruitment reforms.
