Candidates can check whether they have qualified the exam stage by checking whether their names and roll number are present in the pdf file. Candidates qualifying Paper 1 are selected for Paper 2.

SSC JE Result for Paper 2

Staff Selection Commission announces the result of SSC JE Paper 2 online as a pdf file. The result comprises the names and roll numbers of those candidates who have qualified Paper 2 of SSC JE. Candidates qualifying Paper 2 need to appear for Document Verification.

After the conduct of Document Verification, SSC releases the final result of SSC JE. On the basis of the final result, candidates are recruited for the posts they have applied under. The final result is prepared on the basis of candidates performance in Paper 1 and 2 provided they produce all valid documents/ certificated on the day of Document Verification.

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.

I have got my BTech degree with 84 percentage and I got 22 marks in my GATE with 12,672 rank and 301 score. I am an SC candidate from Delhi. Can I get admission in MTech in IIT? If yes can you plz name which one and course name. what about ssc je/cgl plz share details.

Shubham Aggarwal 10th Apr, 2024

Hi,

With your BTech degree percentage of 84 and a GATE score of 301, along with your SC category, you have a chance to secure admission in MTech programs at some IITs, but it may not be assured in the top-ranking ones due to intense competition.

However, admissions also depend on various factors such as the number of seats available, the specific department and program you're applying to, and the preferences of the particular IIT you're interested in. Some IITs may consider your application favorably based on your category and GATE score.

Considering your GATE score of 301 and SC category, here are a few IITs and MTech courses where you might have a chance of admission:

  1. IIT Delhi:

    • MTech in Electrical Engineering
    • MTech in Mechanical Engineering
    • MTech in Civil Engineering

  2. IIT Bombay:

    • MTech in Computer Science and Engineering
    • MTech in Electrical Engineering

  3. IIT Madras:

    • MTech in Aerospace Engineering
    • MTech in Chemical Engineering
    • MTech in Biotechnology

  4. IIT Kanpur:

    • MTech in Aerospace Engineering
    • MTech in Materials Science and Engineering

It's advisable to check the respective IITs' official websites for detailed information on MTech admissions, including eligibility criteria, seat matrix, and admission procedure.

ECE graduate can apply SSC JE exam?

Ayush Singh 6th Oct, 2022

Yes ECE graduates are eligible to apply for the post of electrical engineer post in all government departments but they should clear the competitive exam held by the department.

Even in PWD many Electronics engineers are working as Electrical & Mechanical Junior Engineer . Subjects of ECE and Electrical engineering is almost the same but ECE has more complex subjects than electrical engineering.

Muskan Dhalwal 16th Aug, 2022

Hi,

Since you have registered yourself with a changed name, your new name will be visible on the admit card. But keep in mind that your name has to be the same on your official government documents. Else it can create unnecessary problems during the further procedure of examination.

sir Ive done diploma in ECE and planning to do b tech lateral entry in electrical so that I can attend ssc je and all other je and govt examinations like state pcs upsc IS LATERAL ENTRY IN B TECH ELECTRICAL ELIGIBLE FOR SSC JE OR OTHER GOVT EXAM? IS SHIFTING FROM ECE TO EE IN B TECH IS GOOD ?

vinaykumarneeradi 30th Jul, 2022

hello aspirant,

hope you are doing good.

you can change your branch in engineering through lateral entry.

EE :

EE is a core branch.

placements for this branch in India are in public sector. If you want to get job opportunities in core electrical companies like NTPC you need to crack GATE exam.

it is also called as most competitive branch


ECE :

ECE is not a core branch.

you need not to crack any GATE exam, as there are lot of opportunities for ECE in software field.

students of ECE are also eligible to work in Software industry.

there are lot of opportunities in private sector.


I suggest you to think twice before taking a decision to change from ECE to EE


all the best
