The schemes selected by you are either Sectoral Funds or Small Cap Funds which are not suitable for first time investors like you. The best schemes for you to start doing SIP would be Large Cap Funds or Diversified Equity Funds.

We would suggest you to invest in SBI Bluechip in lieu of SBI Pharma Fund, DSP Blackrock Opportunities Fund or DSP Blackrock Top 100 Fund in lieu of DSP Blackrock Micro Cap Fund, Reliance Top 200 Fund in lieu of Reliance Small Cap Fund and, ICICI Prudential Top 100 Fund or ICICI Prudential Focused Bluechip Equity Fund in lieu of ICICI Pudential Exports & Other Services Fund and UTI Equity Fund in place of UTI Transportation & Logistics Fund.

The following link would help you further in selecting funds across different categories. If you are really keen to take some risk (as mentioned by you), you may choose couple of Mid Cap Funds from the below link -
