The Staff Selection Commission Junior Engineer Examination is a prestigious national-level competitive examination conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) for recruitment to the post of Junior Engineer (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Quantity Surveying & Contract) in various ministries, departments, and organisations of the Government of India. The SSC is a constitutional body under the Government of India that conducts examinations for recruitment to Group 'B' (Non-Gazetted) and Group 'C' (Non-Technical and Technical) posts across different central government departments and organisations. The Staff Selection Commission Junior Engineer Examination serves as the primary gateway for engineering graduates seeking employment in central government technical departments. The examination is conducted in two stages: Paper I (Computer-Based Examination) consisting of objective-type multiple-choice questions covering General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Awareness, and technical subjects (Civil & Structural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering), and Paper II (Descriptive Paper) which tests conventional engineering knowledge in the candidate's chosen discipline. The total marks for Paper I is 200 marks, whilst Paper II carries 300 marks. The final selection is based on the combined performance in both papers. Top participating organisations and departments that recruit Junior Engineers through this examination include the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), Military Engineer Services (MES), Border Roads Organisation (BRO), Central Water Commission (CWC), Farakka Barrage Project, Central Water and Power Research Station, Railway Board, and various other central government entities. The posts recruited through this examination are critical for infrastructure development, maintenance of government buildings, water resource management, electrical installations, and mechanical operations across government establishments. Selected candidates are placed in Group 'B' (Non-Gazetted) posts with competitive salary packages and comprehensive government benefits.
