About SSC JE

The SSC JE, or Staff Selection Commission Junior Engineer examination, is a competitive

exam conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) in India. It aims to recruit Junior

Engineers in various engineering disciplines for various government departments and

organizations at the central level. The exam is held annually or as per the recruitment cycle

set by SSC.

                                                SSE JE EXAMINATION PATTERN

 The Selection Process for SSC Junior Engineer is based on two Tier (stages).

JE 2023 Syllabus

Mechanical Engineering 

 Paper-I

(i) General Intelligence & Reasoning

 

The Syllabus for General Intelligence would include questions of both verbal and non-verbal type. The test may include questions on analogies, similarities, differences, space visualization, problem solving, analysis, judgment, decision making, visual memory, discrimination, observation, relationship concepts, arithmetical reasoning, verbal and figure classification, arithmetical number series etc.

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.

(ii)General Awareness:

Questions 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 neighboring 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.

• Testimonial:

Hi, I am Sairam (MECHANICAL ENGINEER). I completed my degree in 2021. Then I started preparation for govt sector exams by joining in SPARKS ACADEMY. Now I cleared SSC-JE-2022 (JUNIOR ENGINEER) exam and have an opportunity to work in DGQA(NAVAL). For that I thank the faculty of Sparks academy in that especially my favourite SHOBAN sir, because he is the reason for me to focus on SSC exam and VIJAYARAHAVAN sir, because he trains me for Reasoning part (preliminary exam) of SSC-JE and I thank our valuable SRINI sir for giving his ideas on govt sector exams that uses a lot for my mains exam of SSC and my friends.

Then as a student what I like the most in SPARKS is that I have a freedom to use the facility that make me feel like I am not a student I am a part of academy for the past 1 year. I hope that will continue in upcoming years also.... Thank You❤️
