Sebi's information technology department works intensively to establish, maintain and improve the IT infrastructure, systems, and services in the regulator.

These IT systems not only support internal process automation and decision making but also strengthen Sebi's surveillance and supervision of capital markets. 

Further, Sebi's IT systems also interface with various market participants, such as mutual funds, brokers, portfolio managers, investment advisers among others.

This programme is intended for the students of such educational institutes which are offering an AICTE recognised full-time MBA or MCA or equivalent degree or diploma of a duration of two years.
