SSC Declares Results for Junior Engineer Exam
On March 6, 2026, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) announced the results for the Junior Engineer (JE) examination conducted for the year 2025. This examination, which took place in a computer-based format from December 3 to 6 and again on December 13, 2025, has significant implications for thousands of candidates aspiring to secure positions in various engineering fields.
Following the announcement, it was revealed that over 15,000 candidates have been shortlisted for the next stage, Paper-II of the examination. This includes a substantial number of candidates from different engineering disciplines, with 11,593 candidates qualifying in Civil Engineering and 4,014 candidates in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
The SSC has set specific cut-off marks that candidates needed to achieve to qualify for the next phase. For General category candidates, the cut-off stands at 127.23 for Civil Engineering and 127.30 for Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. Additionally, the minimum qualifying marks for General candidates is 60 marks, which constitutes 30% of the total score.
In terms of category-specific cut-offs, the cut-off for Other Backward Classes (OBC) candidates in Civil Engineering is 124.46, while for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, it is 112.05. These benchmarks are crucial for candidates as they determine eligibility for the next stage of the selection process.
It is important to note that the results of two candidates have been withheld, although the reasons for this remain unspecified. The examination utilized final answer keys to process the results of Paper-I, ensuring a standardized evaluation for all participants.
The SSC JE examination is a highly competitive process, and the results play a vital role in shaping the career paths of aspiring engineers. With the results now declared, candidates will be eager to prepare for Paper-II, which will further determine their chances of securing a position in the public sector.
As the situation stands, the announcement of the SSC JE 2026 results marks a significant milestone for the candidates involved. The next steps will be crucial as they navigate through the selection process, aiming to fulfill their aspirations in the engineering domain.
