About SSC JE — Junior Engineer Examination
The SSC Junior Engineer (JE) Examination recruits engineers for Group B non-gazetted technical posts across central government departments. It is one of the most popular entry-level engineering jobs in the government sector for diploma and degree holders.

Pay scale is Level-6 (₹35,400-₹1,12,400) plus dearness, technical and house rent allowances.
The exam has a two-paper structure — both Paper 1 and Paper 2 are now computer-based objective tests. Paper 1 tests Reasoning, GA and General Engineering basics (in your chosen branch).
