For SEBI Grade A aspirants, Descriptive English is no longer a “qualifying” paper.
It is a rank-deciding weapon.
If your aim is to score 70+ marks out of 100, you must stop preparing Descriptive English casually and start preparing it strategically—exactly the way SEBI evaluates it.
This post explains:
- How 70+ is realistically achievable
- Section-wise strategy for Essay (30), Precis (30) & Comprehension (40)
- And how Bank Whizz plays a decisive role in helping you reach that score
Understanding the SEBI Grade A Descriptive English Paper
SEBI Mains – Descriptive English is designed to test whether you can:
- Think like a future market regulator
- Communicate with clarity, balance and structure
- Interpret complex passages with precision
Paper Structure (Typical)
- Essay: 250–270 words → 30 marks
- Precis: 140–160 words → 30 marks
- Reading Comprehension: 5 questions → 40 marks
Scoring 70+ requires balanced excellence, not perfection in just one section.
Why Most Aspirants Get Stuck at 45–55 Marks
From years of evaluation experience, the most common reasons are:
❌ Generic essays with no SEBI angle
❌ Precis written like paragraph summaries
❌ RC answers based on assumptions
❌ No evaluator feedback
❌ Blind practice without correction
Descriptive English is not about writing more—it’s about writing right.
Section-Wise Strategy to Target 70+
1️⃣ Essay Writing (Target: 22–25+/30)
(250–270 words)
Essay is the highest leverage section. A strong essay can compensate for minor losses elsewhere.
What SEBI Actually Looks For
- Relevance to capital markets & regulation
- Logical structure and flow
- Analytical depth (not information dumping)
- Balanced, policy-oriented tone
High-Scoring SEBI Essay Structure
1. Introduction (45–50 words)
- Use data, report, recent development or regulatory context
- Clearly define the issue
2. Body (3 paragraphs)
- Paragraph 1: Core issue & market relevance
- Paragraph 2: Challenges / risks / concerns
- Paragraph 3: Role of SEBI, institutions, reforms
3. Conclusion (45–50 words)
- Balanced optimism
- Regulatory way forward
- Alignment with SEBI’s mandate
📌 Avoid moral preaching or generic “India is developing” statements.

(140–160 words)
Precis is where most aspirants lose easy marks.
SEBI evaluates precis for:

Toppers’ 4-Step Precis Framework
