Why no stock market course is SEBI-approved
SEBI registers people and firms that work in the securities market, such as Research Analysts. It does not approve, register or certify training courses. So when any course describes itself as "SEBI-approved", ask exactly what is registered and with whom, then check it on SEBI's website yourself.
For MarketMind, the registration belongs to the teacher. Vinoth Kumar S is registered with SEBI as a Research Analyst for his research work at Potoos Research Services. That registration is not an approval of this course.
