Test Subject | Questions | Marks | Time |
English Language | 50 | 50 | 40 Mins |
Engineering Discipline Paper I | 40 | 100 | 40 Mins |
Engineering Discipline Paper II | 40 | 100 | 40 Mins |
General Intelligence & Reasoning | 50 | 50 | 30 Mins |
Total | 180 | 300 | 150 Mins |
Expert Strategy: Start by mastering the Engineering Discipline papers, as they carry the highest weightage (200/300 marks). Use previous years' SSC JE papers to practice your technical concepts. Since there is a 1/4th negative marking, focus on accuracy over speed in the Reasoning section. Finally, ensure you are comfortable reading and writing the local language of your applied zone to clear the mandatory LPT.

What is the "Edit Window"?
Ans: A 2-day period after applications close where you can fix specific fields like your exam center for a ₹200 fee.
Do I need to send hard copies of the application?
Ans: No, you only need to submit documents during the LPT/Verification stage.
What is the handwriting declaration text?
Ans: You must write: "I, (Name), hereby declare that all the information submitted by me... is correct, true and valid".
