SSC Junior Engineer JE 2026 Paper I & II Exam Syllabus

SSC Junior Engineer JE 2026 Paper I & II Exam Syllabus — a certificate verification schedule — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 22 September 2026 and a fee of ₹500 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) recruits for Group B and Group C posts across central government departments. SSC selections are computer-based, normally multi-tier, and use normalised scores across shifts — the raw mark you calculate from the answer key is not the mark used for the cut-off.

Applications open on 02 September 2026 and close on 22 September 2026, giving candidates 21 days to complete the process. At 21 days this is a normal-length window, but the fee and upload steps are the ones that fail late, so leave a few days of margin. A correction window is listed (28-30 September 2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for October / November 2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 18 to 32 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 14-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or Computer Applications or Electronics or Electronics and Communication Engineering or Electronics Telecommunication Engineering or Instrumentation or Information Technology or Telecommunication Engineering or Communication Engineering fr.... If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

SC / ST / PH / Female is exempt from the application fee under this notification. Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹100 and ₹500, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and UPI. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Junior Engineer recruitment weights the technical paper for your specific engineering discipline far more heavily than the general sections. Prepare against the discipline-wise syllabus in the notification rather than a generic JE syllabus.
