I am an engineering student and I want to invest Rs 250 every month in a diversified equity mutual fund through the SIP for 3 years. Please suggest which the right mutual fund for me and also how to start investing?

Tiny drops make an ocean and small savings over long periods aided with the power of compounding build wealth. You are making a good start investing in mutual funds through SIPs. You don't need a demat account to get started investing in mutual funds. You can get started with your SIP by directly investing with the mutual fund house or use third-party websites that allow you to do the same. Start with a large-cap fund, and stay put in it for a few years to experience the way your investment fares before increasing your contribution or looking for other investments. You can consider DSPBR Top 100 or IDFC Premier Equity amongst large-cap funds to get started.
