SSC JE 2026 Exam Date Notice
Paper-I runs on 2 to 6 November 2026, covering General Engineering (Civil and Structural, Electrical, and Mechanical) and IMD Scientific Assistant posts. The exam for JE (Telecommunication) is separate, on 30 November and 1 December 2026, with its own city intimation slip released 8 to 10 days earlier. The day-wise and shift-wise schedule isn't published in advance — your own date and shift appear only on your city slip and admit card. Paper-II's date hasn't been announced yet; SSC is expected to notify it after Paper-I.
How to Check Your SSC JE 2026 Exam City
- Go to ssc.gov.in.
- Open the designated login module for the Junior Engineer Examination 2026.
- Log in with your registration details.
- View your exam city and date, and note them down.
- Plan your travel and stay for the 2 to 6 November window.
The detailed instructions on eligibility, application and the overall exam cycle are in SSC's notice published on 2 September 2026 — see our SSC JE Civil 2026 notification guide for a full breakdown.
SSC JE Admit Card 2026
SSC issues the Admission Certificate two to three days before each exam date, through the same login used for the city slip — there's no separate fixed release date, so check the site regularly as your exam date approaches rather than waiting for an announcement. The city slip is not the admit card: you need the Admission Certificate itself to enter the exam centre.
Scribe Facility: Mapping Deadline
If you opted for the Own Scribe facility for SSC JE 2026:
- Scribe registration may need to be redone. Scribe registrations made before 5 November 2025 were disposed of, so your scribe will likely need a fresh registration on the SSC website.
- Scribe registration is linked to Aadhaar authentication. It is mandatory for anyone willing to enrol or appear as a scribe to complete this fresh registration.
- Map your scribe's OTR by 27 October 2026, 11:00 PM. The Scribe Entry Pass is generated only for candidates who successfully map their Scribe OTR, using the scribe's registration number.
- Age limit and other scribe rules follow SSC's updated policy as stated in the exam notice.
Which Papers Are in This Round
Paper-I on 2 to 6 November 2026 covers General Engineering (Civil and Structural, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering) and IMD Scientific Assistant (Computer Science and IT, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, and Physics). JE (Telecommunication) is a separate exam, on 30 November and 1 December 2026.
Some candidates eligible for both JE (Telecommunication) and Scientific Assistant posts have Electronics and Telecommunication (EC/TC) set as their default Scientific Assistant subject, with the option to switch to Computer Science and IT or Physics at the time of City Live, by 27 October 2026, 11:00 PM. No further change is permitted after that — the subject printed on the Admission Certificate is final.
What Civil Engineering Candidates Should Do Now
- Check your exam city today and plan your travel, since Paper-I starts on 2 November.
- Scribe users: finish OTR mapping well before the 27 October, 11:00 PM deadline.
- Keep checking for your admit card in the days leading up to your exam date, and download it as soon as it's available.
- Spend the remaining days on full-length papers. Take timed mocks covering General Engineering (Civil and Structural), reasoning and general awareness, and review every wrong answer — our SSC JE Civil test series and previous papers cover this pattern.
- Read our SSC JE Civil 2026 notification guide for eligibility, syllabus and the full exam pattern.
SSC JE Paper-I Exam Pattern (Civil)
