The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) released the SSC JE Notification for recruiting 1765 vacancies for Junior Engineers Posts. To ace the SSC JE Exam, candidates must be well versed with SSC JE Syllabus. As the syllabus is vast, every candidate must be acquainted with every single topic asked in the SSC JE Exam. The SSC Junior Engineering (SSC JE) exam has two papers – Paper 1 and Paper 2. The Paper II of the SSC JE 2024 exam will be conducted on 6th November 2024. Candidates appearing for the SSC JE exam should be aware of the SSC JE syllabus 2024 along with all topics. In this article, we are covering a detailed SSC JE Syllabus and Exam Pattern for all engineering branches (Civil, Electrical and Mechanical).
SSC JE Syllabus 2024
The standard of the questions in Engineering subjects will be approximately of the level of a Diploma in Engineering (Civil/Electrical/Mechanical) from a recognized Institute, Board or University recognized by the All India Board of Technical Education. SSC has revised the exam pattern and this year SSC JE Paper 1 and Paper 2 both will be conducted in online mode i.e. Computer Based Test (CBT).
SSC JE Comprises two Tiers. The exam pattern of SSC JE is explained below:
Papers | Type of Examination | Subjects | Mode of examination |
Paper 1 | Objective Multiple Choice | (i) General Intelligence and Reasoning (ii) General Awareness (iii) Part-A General Engineering (Civil & Structural) or | CBT (Online) |
Paper 2 | Objective Multiple Choice | Part-A General Engineering (Civil & Structural) Part-B General Engineering (Electrical) Part-C General Engineering (Mechanical) | CBT (Online) |
