SSC JE Junior Engineer Syllabus Change Details Here

Changes in SSC JE Syllabus: An Overview of the Evolution:

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) conducts the Junior Engineer (JE) examination to recruit candidates for various engineering positions in government departments and organizations. Over the years, the SSC has periodically revised the syllabus for the SSC JE exam to ensure it remains relevant, up-to-date, and reflective of the evolving requirements of the engineering industry. This article provides an overview of the changes made to the SSC JE syllabus, highlighting the reasons behind these changes and their potential impact on aspiring engineers.

The SSC JE examination is conducted in two papers:

Paper-I: Computer-Based Examination (Objective Type)

1. General Intelligence & Reasoning: Analytical and logical reasoning questions to test the candidate's ability to think and solve problems.

2. General Awareness: Questions related to the general environment and events happening around the world.

3. General Engineering (Civil/Mechanical/Electrical): This section covers basic concepts, principles, and practices in the respective engineering disciplines. The questions are designed to assess the candidate's understanding of core engineering topics.

Paper-II: Now paper II is also objective type questions wiil be asked and it consists of 300 marks

The Computer Based Examination will be conducted in two papers as indicated below:

Paper-I

Paper-II

Papers	Mode of Examination	Subject	No of Questions/ Max. Marks	Duration
Paper-I	Computer Based Examination	(i)       General Intelligence              and Reasoning	50/50	2 Hours (2   hours   and 40 minutes for the candidates who                  are eligible
		(ii)  General Awareness	50/50
		(iii) Part-A: General Engineering (Civil & Structural) or Part-B: General Engineering (Electrical) or Part-C: General Engineering (Mechanical)	100/100

Paper-II

Computer Based Examination

Part-A: General Engineering (Civil & Structural) or Part-B: General Engineering (Electrical) or Part-C: General Engineering (Mechanical)

100/300

2 Hours (2   hours   and 40 minutes for the candidates who                  are eligible

                         

The candidates will be required to attempt the General Engineering part (i.e. Part-A, Part-B or Part-C) in Paper-I and Paper-II, which has been selected by them, on the basis of their Educational Qualification, in the online application form. In other words, the candidates appearing for the post of Junior Engineer (Civil) are required to attempt Part-A (Civil & Structural) of Paper-I and Paper-II and the candidates appearing for the post of Junior Engineer (Electrical) are required to attempt Part-B (Electrical) and the candidates appearing for the post of Junior Engineer (Mechanical) are required to attempt Part-C (Mechanical) of Paper-I and Paper-II failing which theircandidature will be rejected.

The Paper-I & Paper-II will consist of Objective Type, Multiple choice questions only. The questions will be set both in Hindi & English.

Questions in both papers will be of Objective Multiple Choice Type. Questions will be set in Hindi and English in Parts-I, II and III of Paper-I and Paper-II. There will be negative marking equal to one-third of the marks allotted to the question for each wrong answer in Paper-I & Paper-II. Candidates are, therefore, advised to keep this in mind while answering the questions.

Candidates are allowed to bring their own Slide–Rule, Calculator, Logarithm Table and Steam Table for Paper-II only. They are not allowed for using such aids for Paper-I.

Tentative Answer Keys of Paper-I and Paper-II will be placed on the website of the Commission after the Examination. Candidates may go through the Answer Keys and submit online representations, if any, within the time limit given by the Commission, on payment of Rs. 100/- per question which is non-refundable. Representations on the matter received through any other modalities; i.e., letter, application, email, etc. will not be entertained.

Marks scored by candidates in Computer Based Examination, if conducted in multiple shifts, will be normalized by using the formula published by the Commission through Notice No: 1-1/2018-P&P-I dated 07-02-2019 and such normalized scores will be used to determine final merit and cut-off marks.

The dates of examinations indicated in the Notice are tentative. Any change in the schedule of examinations will be informed to candidates only through the website of the Commission.

There shall be no provision for re-evaluation/ re-checking of scores of any stage/ paper(s) of the Examination. No correspondence in this regard shall be entertained.
