Exam Pattern

SSC JE 2022 is conducted in two papers i.e. paper 1 and paper 2. Paper 1 is an objective paper while Paper 2 is a descriptive paper. Given below is the detailed exam pattern for papers 1 and paper 2:

SSC JE Paper 1 Exam Pattern

Paper 1 is a computer-based test having multiple-choice questions.
It consists of 3 sections namely General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Awareness, and General Engineering (Civil/ Mechanical/ Electrical).

Papers	Subjects	Number of Questions	Maximum marks	Exam duration
Paper 1 – Objective type	General Intelligence & Reasoning	50 MCQs	50 marks	Cumulative duration of 2 hours (2 hours and 40 minutes for those aspirants, who need a scribe)
	General Awareness	50 MCQs	50 marks
	General Engineering – Part A – Civil & Structural)/ Part B (Electrical)/ Part C (Mechanical)	100 MCQs	100 marks
Total	3 Subjects	200 MCQs	200 Marks	120 minutes (160 minutes for those aspirants, who need a scribe)

Sections 1 and 2 are the same for each candidate. In section 3, candidates have to choose their respective subjects from Civil/ Mechanical/ Electrical Engineering.
Sections 1 and 2 consist of 50 questions each. These sections test the candidate’s ability and knowledge of general reasoning and awareness. Section 3 consists of 100 questions and examines the candidate’s knowledge of the subject chosen from Civil/ Mechanical/ Electrica Engineering.
In Paper-1 and Paper-2 for General Engineering, the candidate will be required to attempt only the part as per the option given in the application form filled by the candidate.
In other words, the candidates appearing for the post of Junior Engineer (Civil or Quantity Surveying & Contracts) are required to attempt Part-A (Civil & Structural Engineering)
Candidates appearing for the post of Junior Engineer (Electrical) are required to attempt Part-B (Electrical Engineering)
Candidates appearing for the post of Junior Engineer (Mechanical) are required to attempt Part-C (Mechanical Engineering)
There is a negative marking of 0.25 marks per wrong answer.

SSC JE Paper 2 Exam Pattern

Paper 2 is a descriptive paper conducted in pen and paper mode.
Candidates have to attempt a question paper of 300 marks in 2 hours.
Paper 2 is a conventional type exam, candidates have to choose the subject from Part A- Civil & Structural Engineering, Part B- Electrical Engineering, or Part C- Mechanical Engineering.
Candidates are allowed to bring their own Slide–Rule, Calculator, Logarithm Table, and Steam Table for Paper-2.
There is no negative marking applicable in Paper 2.

Paper	Subjects	Maximum marks	Exam duration & time
Paper 2 – Descriptive Type	Part A – General Engineering(Civil and Structural) OR Part B – General Engineering(Electrical) OR Part C – General Engineering(Mechanical)	300 marks	2 hours
