SSC JE (Junior Engineer): questions people ask
What is the full form of SSC JE?
SSC JE stands for Staff Selection Commission Junior Engineer (Civil / Electrical / Mechanical).
When is the SSC JE Paper I exam in 2026?
In two windows: 2 to 6 November and 30 November to 1 December 2026, as a computer-based test. SSC added the second window in its notice of 26 October. Your day and shift are on your admit card. Paper II is tentatively in December 2026.
When will the SSC JE admit card come?
About 2 to 3 days before your exam date, after you log in on ssc.gov.in. The exam city slip for the 2 to 6 November papers has been out since 23 October 2026. The city slip only tells you the city and date. It is not the admit card.
When will the SSC JE 2026 answer key come?
SSC has not announced a date. Last cycle, the Paper I key came on 19 December 2025, 13 days after the last paper. This year Paper I ends on 1 December 2026, so the key will likely come after that. You see it after you log in on ssc.gov.in.
