The cutoff of SSC JE is determined by Staff Selection Commission (SSC) along with the result. SSC declares the cutoff of SSC JE in three stages – Paper 1, Paper 2 and final allotment. The cut off is the minimum marks that candidates must secure in each stage of the exam to be selected for the next stage of selection procedure. Candidates obtaining equal to or more than the cut off of SSC JE Paper 1 are shortlisted to appear for Paper 2. SSC JE cutoff for Paper 1 will be calculated out of 200 marks.
SSC JE Paper 2 Cut off
The Commission determines the cutoff of SSC JE Paper 2. The cut off for this stage is prepared based on marks of Paper 2. Marks allotted for Paper 2 is 300. Candidates securing the cut off or more are eligible to appear for document verification. After Document Verification, a cutoff for final allotment is published by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) based on the aggregate marks of Paper 1 and 2. On the basis of the cutoff for final allotment, candidates are recruited for junior engineers’ posts they have applied for.
