SSC JE Paper 1 Exam Pattern
Paper 1 is a computer-based objective test. As per the earlier notification pattern for Civil Mechanical and Electrical posts
| Part | Subject | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| A | General Intelligence and Reasoning | 50 |
| B | General Awareness | 50 |
| C | General Engineering Civil / Mechanical / Electrical | 100 |
| Total | 200 |
- Duration: 2 hours
- Negative marking: 0.25 marks for each wrong answer in previous cycles
Please confirm the marking scheme duration and syllabus in the official SSC JE 2026 notice since this cycle also includes IMD Scientific Assistant papers with their own subjects.
SSC JE 2026 Papers Covered
The November 2 to 6 window covers six papers General Engineering in Civil and Structural Electrical and Mechanical streams and IMD Scientific Assistant papers in Computer Science and IT Electronics and Telecommunication and Physics. The JE Telecommunication paper is scheduled separately from 30 November to 1 December 2026 with its city slip and admit card due around 8 to 10 days in advance.
SSC JE City Intimation Slip 2026
The city slip is different from the admit card. It only tells you the exam city and date so you can plan travel and stay. The actual centre address shift and reporting time appear on the admit card. SSC released the city slip on 23 October 2026 through the candidate login so check both documents before travelling.
Scribe Registration and Aadhaar Authentication
Candidates who chose the own scribe facility had to complete a fresh scribe registration since SSC has now linked scribe registration with Aadhaar authentication. The last date to map the scribe’s OTR was 27 October 2026 and the scribe entry pass is generated only for candidates who completed the mapping. If you missed this step contact your SSC regional office immediately.
What Happens After Paper 1?
Candidates who qualify in Paper 1 move on to the next stages which in the previous cycle were Paper 2 and document verification. Keep an eye on ssc.gov.in for the answer key result and cut off after the exam.
