The SEBI Grade A 2025 notification clearly states that Phase 1 will be held on 10th January 2026, followed by Phase 2 on 21st February 2026. That means you have just 35 days to prepare. And in these last days, you should have an effective 35-day study schedule for the last 35 days before the exam, packed with revision and practice. If you use these days smartly, you can clear Phase 1 comfortably and build a strong base for Phase 2. And to achieve that goal, we have a day‑wise roadmap for you. It blends Paper 1 and Paper 2 preparation in a smart ratio. It ensures coverage of high‑yield topics, steady practice, and timely revision. If you are speeding up your preparation or revision, this plan can become your accelerator.

35-Day SEBI Grade A Preparation Roadmap

The plan below is not just a timetable. It is a methodical route that balances Phase 1 and Phase 2 demands, covering Finance, Management, Economics, Accounts, Costing, Companies Act, Current Affairs, and English descriptive practice. Aspirants should begin with core subjects, move steadily into applied areas, and keep daily slots for Paper 1 practice. 

Each day is designed to build rhythm, not perfection. Revision loops ensure mistakes are corrected quickly, while mock tests simulate exam pressure. If you follow this roadmap with discipline, practice, and consistent review, your preparation will steadily move toward the cutoff line and beyond.

How to Make The Most of This 35-Day SEBI Grade A Roadmap

Toppers never treat a plan as a checklist. They treat it as a cycle. Every day is a step forward. Every test is a mirror. These 35 days are not about perfection. They are about rhythm, predictability, and smart revision.

Finance

• Regulatory Bodies & Markets: Revise SEBI’s role, RBI’s tools, and market structure. These are factual and scoring.
• Fiscal Policy & GST: Focus on definitions and updates. Practice MCQs on inflation and GST reforms.

Management

• Principles & Evolution: Link theories with examples. Taylor and Fayol are favorites.
• Motivation & Leadership: Expect situational MCQs. Practice case‑based questions.

Economics

• Micro (Demand, Supply, Elasticity): Practice numericals. Elasticity is tricky but high‑yield.
• Macro (National Income, BOP, Inflation): Revise formulas. Track current data trends.

Companies Act

• Prospectus & Share Capital: Memorize provisions. These are direct questions.
• Board Meetings & Directors: Revise definitions. Expect legal MCQs.
• Audit & Dividend: Practice case‑based questions.

Accounts

• Journal & Ledger: Build speed.
• Trial Balance & Balance Sheet: Focus on error detection.
• Ratio Analysis & Cash Flow: Practice daily numericals.

Costing

• Variance & Marginal Costing: Revise formulas. Practice short problems.
• Budgeting: Expect case studies.

Current Affairs

• Dedicate 20–30 minutes daily. Stick to one source. Consistency matters.
• Attempt CA MCQs weekly.

Revision Loops

• Loop 1 (Finance → Companies Act → Management): Prioritize scoring topics.
• Loop 2 (Accounts → Costing → Economics): Focus on numericals.
• Avoid new sources in the last 5 days. Stability beats speed.

Final 5 Days Strategy

• Day 31–33: Strengthen applied areas (Companies Act cases, advanced accounting standards, integrated costing).
• Day 34: Attempt a full CA test.
• Day 35: Attempt one complete Phase 1 mock + Paper 2 MCQs. Analyse mistakes.
