Important Exams
SSC JE Syllabus 2020: To ace SSC JE Exam, candidates must be well versed with SSC JE Syllabus. As the syllabus is really vast, it is necessary for every candidate to be acquainted with every single topic been asked in the SSC JE Exam.
The SSC Junior Engineering (SSC JE) exam has two papers – Paper 1 and Paper 2. The Paper-I of SSC JE 2020 exam will be conducted from 30th March to 2nd April 2020. Candidates appearing for SSC JE exam should be aware of SSC JE syllabus 2020 along with all topics. In this article, we are covering detailed SSC JE Syllabus and Exam Pattern for all engineering branches (Civil, Electrical and Mechanical).
The standard of the questions in Engineering subjects will be approximately of the level of Diploma in Engineering (Civil/Electrical/Mechanical) from a recognized Institute, Board or University recognized by All India Board of Technical Education. The RRB JE Paper-I and Paper-II detailed syllabus are given below:
SSC JE Examination will consist of two Papers i.e. Paper-I and Paper-II. The Paper-I will be conducted online (Computer Based Examination). Paper-II Exam is a Descriptive Type Paper which be held offline (Written Examination). You need to check the exam pattern before going through the syllabus of SSC JE.
| Subject | Number of Questions | Maximum Marks | Duration & Timings |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Awareness | 50 | 50 | 2 Hours |
| General Intelligence and Reasoning | 50 | 50 | |
| Part A- General Engineering (civil & structural) or Part B- General Engineering (electrical) or Part C- General Engineering (mechanical) or |
100 | 100 |
Note: There will be negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer in Paper-I.
SSC JE 2020 Paper 1 is conducted in the online mode and has three sections which are mentioned below:
(i). General Intelligence and Reasoning
(ii). General Awareness
(iii). General Engineering
SSC covers both verbal and non-verbal type questions in General Intelligence & Reasoning section. The test will be based on on analogies, similarities, differences, space visualization, problem solving, analysis, judgement, decision making, visual memory, discrimination, observation, relationship concepts, arithmetical reasoning, verbal and figure classification, arithmetical number series etc topics. The test will also include questions designed to test the candidate’s abilities to deal with abstract ideas and symbols and their relationships, arithmetical computations and other analytical functions.
Questions asked in this section will be aimed at testing the candidate’s general awareness of the environment around him/her and its application to society. Questions will also be designed to test knowledge of current events and of such matters of everyday observations and experience in their scientific aspect as may be expected of any educated person. The test will also include questions relating to India and its neighbouring countries especially pertaining to History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Polity and Scientific Research, etc. These questions will be such that they do not require a special study of any discipline.
