SSC Junior Engineer JE 2025 Paper I Marks, Final Answer Key

SSC Junior Engineer JE 2025 Paper I Marks, Final Answer Key — a result announcement — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 21 July 2025 and a fee of ₹100 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) recruits for Group B and Group C posts across central government departments. SSC selections are computer-based, normally multi-tier, and use normalised scores across shifts — the raw mark you calculate from the answer key is not the mark used for the cut-off.

Applications open on 30 June 2025 and close on 21 July 2025, giving candidates 22 days to complete the process. The 22-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. Fee payment closes on 22/07/2025 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. A correction window is listed (01-12 August 2025), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for   03 to 06 December 2025; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 18 to 32 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 14-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Civil / Electrical / Mechanical — BE / B.Tech Degree in Related Trade OR Diploma in Related Trade with 2 Year Experience. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

SC / ST / PH and All Category Female are exempt from the application fee under this notification. All fee-paying categories are charged the same ₹100. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Junior Engineer recruitment weights the technical paper for your specific engineering discipline far more heavily than the general sections. Prepare against the discipline-wise syllabus in the notification rather than a generic JE syllabus.
